I use your youtube videos as my white noise to help me sleep at night. also I am autistic. i like 15 passenger vans, and Airbus A321 aircraft as a hobby. i also like Yamaha stereo equipment.
fun seeing someone drive on roads im fimiliar with. im from Sussex County but i frequently drive thru Newton with family to run errands or to go riding. nice video.
@@Jeepin290 They haven’t changed at all the past 11 years I’ve been going to school, so even if they did change, it couldn’t have been that much in the past 50 years.
@@paull2937 It really has changed- buses have AC, heaters, new GPS and camera systems, etc.. They haven’t changed in the past 11 years cause they’ve kept the design almost the same, by 2024 or so, they’ll look different as the semi variant of them (applies to the CE and C2 only) will be getting redesigns.
I like seeing the routines that the bus drivers go through. It’s very interesting for some reason lol. Great video! I hope to see a Thomas C2 POV soon!
same here I miss riding that vt365 bus 1 now im riding a 2022 safetliner c2 handicap medium size bus up to 9 passengers and 3 wheelchairs rows bus 1 with the cummins. 6.7 I mean the c2 rides so smooth though bus 1
The bus is so pristine and even though the bus motor startup and the bus is clean and I hope the students can get on a bus and have field trip and the only one thing is they need to clean out the inside of the bus
how times have changed, back in the 80s when i rode the bus to school it was the local farmers who drove us, buses back then had non of that safety checklist or scanning to do lol
I love your video.. keep up the good work I understand your listing of what not to complain about but like to comment so others would know .. at each bus company or school district they may have different pre trip procedures.. ours was a bit more complex.. we had to inspect also under the hood and also physically and visually inspect the S cams on our buses with air brakes and also brake lines on our hydraulic brakes and also do a brake test not just dump the air like you did. also we had to inspect every light lens to make sure they are not cracked or broken or bulb burnt out.. including headlight, tail lamps and warning lights .. but also inspect each interior light too .. now we only had to check the seats to make sure no student is left behind twice but hit alarm once at end of the route only if the warning lights have been activated. if you made a dry run say to go fuel up the bus and not activate your warning lamps no need to reset the child check warning system .. again as I stated each company or school district is different and have different rules. we did not have the electronic device you had to click on with the zonar system.. have a happy and safe driving with your bus
when we are young, we laugh when the driver says "quiet !"... 25 years later, its us who ask to kid "be quiet !".... it may looks a monotone job but excluding the bus checkup, it looks a real job-dealing with everything from inside-kids to outside-environment... "(- . -)"
i must say the VT365 sounds wayy more aggressive than the powerstroke counterpart of it! not only that you have the distinctive whine from that Alison! i could drive this bus all day and not get sick of those sounds!
@@lijiang2743they’re both turbocharged. There are some minor differences between the VT365 and the 6.0. I’m not sure what they are. I think one is they don’t put head gaskets in the VT365- I could be wrong.
I love the sound of that diesel the ic ce has, I’ve always loved the ce’s and the c2’a, bluebirds designs are straight ugly in my opinion, I ride a C2 to school every day but I’ve never been on an ic
Can you do more videos like this video?A school bus is my favorite vehicle and always has been.I call it the law.Red lights mean stop for a school bus.Its the law.obey it.
I love that CCM unit and my old bus has the same system when I was in School. Child Checkmate rules. Do you have access to a bus like a C2 so we can see what that type of bus is like?
We have C2s in our fleet as well. I usually don't know in advance when my bus is going to be in the shop for maintenance, or which bus they're going to give me, so it's hard to know when to bring the GoPro 😔
I've always wanted to drive a Bus. My Mom used to when I was a kid. One question, though. What's that little device you keep pointing at certain areas of the Bus and it beeps?
That's a Zonar wand, there are 8 zones registered around the bus, and as we inspect each, we scan a tag mounted there with the wand. www.zonarsystems.com/industries/pupil-transportation/
That happens when you turn the key on with the service (foot) brake applied. If you turn it on with the brake not applied, it just clicks. I assume it's running a check on some valves or solenoids or something.

Thats a nice rig with a nice sounding engine. Treat it good because its the same engine as the 6.0 powerstroke and we all know what a shit show it was for ford
Being that we were all kids once, I can assume we've all been curious about our bus driver. This, good sir, satisfies that curiosity. Thank you for making this video. I would like to ask a question if you don't mind, what is that beeping sound that started when you opened the doors? is that an alarm?
If you're talking about the rear door and the other emergency exits, I think that alarm is there to inform the driver in case one of them opens while they are driving. Either due to a passenger opening them, or getting jarred open by vibrations - which does happen sometimes especially on the older buses.
I think he’s talking about when he initially got on the bus. Pretty sure it’s an anti-theft alarm or something where if he doesn’t sign in within a set time, the bus alarms will go off. Just a guess, though.
We use the timer to confirm that there are no significant leaks in the air brake system, i.e. the pressure doesn't drop more than a certain amount over a certain length of time. The shaking is just me bouncing as I pump the brakes to release all the air and confirm that the emergency brake activates when the pressure drops catastrophically low
i have a older CE in my district that sounds like that but has a MaxxForce 7 engine in it and the engine sounds is the only thing that makes it my favorite spare bus darn shame my driver won't drive itwhen her blue bird vision goes for door switch repairs or regular Maintenance.
