@@MrLazlness yeah I so wanted to extended bed but they don't make the drivetrain for stick shift for the long bed version. So it was either get a short bed with a stick shift or a long bed with an automatic. I stuck to the stick shift
@@MrLazlness if my Tacoma lives up to Toyota standards, it's going to last me quite a long time. I fear that by the time I need my next truck, there will no longer be a manual option. And that's quite sad
Too funny!!!! I was a little disappointed that the passengers didn't seem like it was hilarious like we all did, maybe they were in shock or confused but it was hilarious!!!!!! This is an idea for schools to do with like K-5 graders with school buses like when going on a field trip pull up in a "Short School Bus" and tell them the regular School Bus was broke down so they are going to have to take the "Short Bus" and they would for real laugh 😂😂😂
Hay James, that was funny especially when the mini me pulled up, I could see some of the passenger say, WHAT THE.. BLEEP... LOL.. A good clean joke is what our society needs.. To much Doom and Gloom.. Thanks for sharing and hope to see you on the road.. Herbie & Mary
Excellent! Greetings from Australia; love the "koala" reference! Amazing how many people in the line remained glued to their smart phones during the "fun". Well done all concerned.
JWang. Don't know if you will see or ever read this but, IMO ALL would love to see JWang driving, safety, "all things considered" technical vids that help new, young and young at heart, commercial motorcoach drivers, improve their driving techniques and experiences. Some "How To's" or "How (YOU) would do", vids. We all tremendously love and respect your knowledge and expertise, so as a motorcoach operator, I know that I'd love to see more technical vids from you, regarding operating and handling a motorcoach, poor weather vids, backing, turning, parking . . . . We see the others, but we believe in YOU!!!
Hey Panthers. I tried to read all of the comments from you guys because it means so much to me that you guys take the time the right to me. Your message has been read and received my friend. I will definitely add in some more technical stuff just for the drivers. But for the record as I tell everyone that asks me for advice, I am not the most knowledgeable person in the motor coach world. Most of the info from my videos are gathered from different people and other sources. I just take their knowledge and talk about it on CZcams lol. I am a person who is learning a lot making these videos and I still have a lot to learn. A lot of you drivers out there probably put a lot of miles on the road much more than I do. So don't be surprised when I say that you guys could probably teach me a thing or two about being a good motor coach operator. Thank you for your comment I really appreciate it.
Clients did not have a clue what was going on and they looked like deer in the headlights. Fun company, great prank. Although, next time it would be fun to have you interview them after the prank James.
If I was in that queue, I would have really enjoyed that and found it funny.. It’s so rare for a company to have a sense of humour and to be allowed to be seen having fun in what they do. Your busses are really nice too.. Makes me want to come live over there and drive your buses..
Holy cannoli I thought I recognized the logos on the thumbnail! Central Illinois born and raised. I actually took a Peoria Charter Bus to Washington DC for National FFA Convention years ago!
Hi James I enjoy your channel I was a coach driver here in Scotland loved the job unfortunately after a couple of strokes i had early retirement but found memory's keep up the good work. I drove a Bova here in the UK .
Hi Sarah. Thanks for the comment. I'm sorry to hear you had to retire early. Take care of yourself. Do you have any pics of your next to your bus? I would love to give you a shout out on my motorcoachworld videos. It's my other CZcams channel. CZcams.com/motorcoachworld. If you have pics that you want to send me you can email it to me at jwang@peoriacharter.com
I smiled throughout this video, I thought it was great. I wish some of them took pictures with the mini bus, that was funny! I would have took a picture with it...
Pretty awesome. I got to see when your company busses here at Walt Disney World recently. Didn’t get to talk to the driver unfortunately as I was moving around our own busses but it is cool to see something you see on CZcams. Take care happy April fools day.
I’m getting ready to begin working with a Motor coach company here in Ohio. I’m a school bus driver currently and hoping to change permanently. I was curious about what Bluetooth device you recommend as well as what device you use for navigation?? Really enjoying your channel- giving me a great perspective on the life of driving a motor coach.
Lol!! This was so cute. I love the sense of humor and creativity. Too bad the customers didn't give much of a reaction. They appeared half asleep. I have my CDL permit. Hoping to get my class B to drive charter buses this year
Thanks for the fun and smiles 😃 We need to refresh ourselves Busing is a craft made of Safe & relable Drivers In these times .we need good humor & Fun👍 Good on you James & P.L 'charters for cooking this up....🇨🇦❤🇺🇦
Wow I just totally love everything thing about this April Fools Day skit. Thank you James Wang for yet another world class production presentation by Motorcoach World!
Hey James, I love your channel. Watched every episode. It's odd that you guys are lacking drivers while most of us here are jobless. Much love from Nairobi Kenya.
Who had school and got April Fooled I did there was a sign and stuff the sign said “do not enter broken water pipe -caretaking April fools!!” I like hey what!
@4:55 I swear that I saw an VANTRUE N4 dashcam. But it is not an VANTRUE. What brand is your dashcam? A great’s April fool joke….lol. The only thing I would do a little different here, is to ask the drive of the bus to come a little bit earlier since it is cold outside, letting ur customers board up to keep warm a bit until that departure time comes to leave. It looks like most customers were already there, so I see no harm for the driver to come earlier since you have communication with driver, yes? Your take?
@@JWangvlogs but you guys are funny . The driving in circles vid and this are the 2 first funny ones I can't stop laughing . The hotel scenes were hilarious as all
wow these kids are boring and detached. Just staring with dead eyes or lost on their phones. Yikes. Tell you what, do this prank on a group of sauced business people from some corporate event, might get the correct reaction.
Even after a year since this first came out, I still can’t stop laughing at this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:38 - it's good to see your Tacoma is manual! There aren't enough of us buying them in North America.
Always good to meet another stick shift Tacoma enthusiast. I wouldn't have it any other way. Took them an extra week to find one for me.
I wanted one but with the 6 foot bed and the bigger cab.
@@MrLazlness yeah I so wanted to extended bed but they don't make the drivetrain for stick shift for the long bed version. So it was either get a short bed with a stick shift or a long bed with an automatic. I stuck to the stick shift
@@JWangvlogs Toyota makes some funny decisions sometimes. At least they still make a manual for now.

Brilliant. Always a place for humour and highlighting issues at the same time. Well done James & Co.
Too funny it was dead silence when Mini meme pulled up the looks on the students face was hilarious. Great April fools joke.
Tough crowd no one said anything lol. Ooof that was kinda awkward but absolutely hilarious 😂 I loved it.
Two years later and this still doesn’t get old! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It did look funny when it rolled up. Maybe add some trailers with seats next time. Loved the idea

Best April fools prank James
Man. I remember those Nextel phones. I used to have those type phones when I worked in construction.
Very clever, professional and fun April fools joke, well done!

Next year, find a life size replica of Jed Clampett's truck. Hire you a granny to sit up there with her "shootin' iron."
Lol 😆, love the sense of humor.
I just love the prank that you did and how the passengers reacted! Creative! :)
Classic. I'm a bus driver in Australia 🇦🇺

Downsizing really took a life of its own hahaha I hollered out loud once I saw this I'm weak yahahaha
This was very funny. Very cool.
I absolutely love the commitment! This was gold, nicely done!
I think you had the most fun! I enjoyed it and hope you get a few more drivers out of the news coverage
This is hilarious! Good job James!
That was Fun and Funny James
That was a nice one Brother.
I will email you soon. 👍🏿👍🏿

Hi James, this was funny & a Great April Fool's joke!! So glad everything went good & no problems!! Take care & stay safe!
So well done 😎
This is awesome James! Hope you are all doing well!
James, I loved it. I actually had a similar idea years ago using a van wrapped like a bus but we never followed through.
A good operator knows the history of the area. Best thing when you are in a new place
Wow I just totally love everything thing about this April Fools Day skit. Thank you James Wang for yet another world class production presentation by Motorcoach World!
Nice one buddy hahaha. I loved the reaction of the passengers. They’re like what the heck?! Hahah.
🤣🤣 AWESOME! That’s a good bus for squirrels to ride.
That DL3 must have a 2 stroke Detroit, sounding like that 😆. When it pulled up to the curb I couldn't help but, laugh. Good one J!!!
Awesome!
Good to see you are still having fun at the job.
Miss you park. I tried to call you but your number is no longer valid
Can you email me your contact info??
jwang@peoriacharter.com
You cannot have too much fun at work.
I’m sorry but this needs to be a meme! It’s too hilarious! 🤣🤣
This one got me good. AHAHAHHAHA Good April Fools guys!
This is bus-tling! 🤣🤣
That was too funny! loool
Awesome
I was waiting for another video yesterday
I try to do every other Wednesdays. My schedule is too full right now to make a video every week. Sorry
Great Video!!!!
I love driving. And would love to drive for y’all only problem is I’m on the west coast lol 😂
Well have you ever decide to move to Illinois, either Urbana Peoria or Chicago, we have a driver seat waiting for you lol.
Impressive!
Next video James bring that bus to the diesel station and the diesel tech
Hey James, I love your channel. Watched every episode. It's odd that you guys are lacking drivers while most of us here are jobless. Much love from Nairobi Kenya.
J wang: “You can apply for a job”
Everyone: “Nope”
It’s nice to have fun!! 🤣
Good one, James!
Put them in a Hi Way Coach and take them out for lunch at a big buffet .
6:37 -- done did and I drive for Jaco Limo now :)
Too funny!
This is awesome, love the effort involved! Did this eventually make the local news?
Yes it did lol. Thanks for the comment!
That’s so funny
O m G…. What a HOOT!!!!
I would have pulled you over as an April fool's joke
Lol I was hoping to set something like that up but I don't think the police force would have gone for it. Lol
Who had school and got April Fooled I did there was a sign and stuff the sign said “do not enter broken water pipe -caretaking April fools!!” I like hey what!
Excellent AFD prank!
That's cool 😎
Hello James! Nice joke! I have a question; What scheduled intercity line runs do Peoria Charters operate?
Hey AmFan. We do line runs from Champaign to the Chicago suburbs and airports

👍
Maybe if they would pay BUS DRIVERS what they are WORTH there wouldn't be a shortage in the real world.
Same problem here in the UK.
Did you get any applicants from the news cast?
Yes actually we did get a couple!
It was a good prank, but I don't think the passengers were to amused. A plus on the publicity for the company though!!!
Haha they were too busy being on their phones lol
@@JWangvlogs Speaking of phones, Do buses provide internet service?
😂😂😂
James thanks so much 🙌🙌
Ok wants the website
😂
they had to wait a long periolodically time, what if they lost their job or doctors apartments?
Hahahaha 🤣🤣
Cute joke.
How big it that how long and tall?
If you're asking about the go-kart I'm not sure I never actually measured it
@@JWangvlogs but you guys are funny . The driving in circles vid and this are the 2 first funny ones I can't stop laughing . The hotel scenes were hilarious as all
Can you call it work if you're having fun doing it? Nice April fool's joke
It’s actually pronounced “Peoria”
So that's how you say it 😂
wow these kids are boring and detached. Just staring with dead eyes or lost on their phones. Yikes.
Tell you what, do this prank on a group of sauced business people from some corporate event, might get the correct reaction.
