typical problem with old generation Toronto bus less throttle only push away snows slowly, thats y most of the bus driver use full throttle to push away snows quicker and actually get out of the situation quicker.
if you have never experienced winter storms, then you don't understand that they can hit very hard & heavy in a very short period of time, & that deploying emergency vehicles in a city as big as toronto takes time to achieve, even in good weather; if you have experienced winter storms, then you should understand that they can hit very hard & heavy in a very short period of time, & that deploying emergency vehicles in a city as big as toronto takes time to achieve, even in good weather...
dave oh i live in NYC where we've had very big snowstorms and they keep retrofitted trucks with prefitted plows running even during the duration of the storm and this is a city waaaaay bigger than Toronto,so there's no excuse, you don't wait for the snow to pile up and expect traffic to just finesse its way through
Whenever the conditions are starting to get ripe for a snowstorm, even if it's very little time, the Sanitation Department gets to installing snowplows, snow tires, and chaining vehicle wheels (which I know is illegal in Canada, so not suggesting that)
Steven Ouellet yes, but... toronto is situated in this weird little pocket because of the great lakes; more often than not, a major storm will dump on barrie to the north & buffalo to the south, with just a dusting for t.o.; this isn't to imply that the city is not negligent in its services sometimes, but weather prediction has never been an exact art, so, snow happens sometimes & buses get stuck in it...
True enough... Sadly driving schools are only interested in parking and slow driving... They should teach skidding and wheelspin control in driving schools! 1. Very useful 2. Safer driving 3. Fun
+Derek Smith Might not be so bad if the driver wasn't an absolute idiot! What moron hammers the throttle in snow and waits for a miracle to happen?! Baby the throttle and you're golden.
always loving these good old bus burnouts
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Of course its an High Floor with BALLS. Come On V!!! R.I.P Orion Vs
it wouldn't have got stuck if it was a gmc "new-look/fishbowl" bus, they were great in the snow...
OHHH THAT B4000R HOOOOOOLY CRAP
Тут бы на велике или лучше на моте прохватить от души. Красота!!!!
Perfect skitching opportunity!
0:19 Could've gotten out feathering the throttle probably.
Toronto is south and Toronto doesn’t have enough snow cleaning these days.

You woukd expect a city like Toronto to plow their streets better than that

dave oh i think what Toronto has to do is start fixing their weather response systems because all these heavy covered roads is not ok
that helped to melt the snow to give contact on pavement

no yes hey
Oh no!
Tire chains
So funny!
might not be so bad if the snow was cleared.........

It worked though.
the bus stuck because he gas it too much
Poor Orion V :(
IT WAS AN ORION VII
No it's was an Orion v
Jarek Alexander ok boomer
Driving school teaches 3-point turns and parallel parking. they don't teach that in driving school.
i guess TTC didnt buy snow tires this year. and there isent that much snow int his video
nice camera, what do you use?
crying snow
Don't just stand there. Push!
Needs cancelled it!!! (OH DEAR, MAN!!!) :(
😂
Feathering the throttle is overrated these days?
Blbec Americký se nezapře :-D , v České Republice používáme zvláštní nástroj, říká se mu lopata.
This is so ppppppppppppppppp
😭💢
Less throttle. Spinning your wheels at 60mph in snow is stupid! Less wheelspin = more traction. The driver should consider re-taking driving school :D
i9u
Don't know what kind of camera that was but it sucked.
