I got to see this one before. But it's worth telling you again how great it was! You're a super driver with a great attitude. Take good care of yourself.😊
Is the bus new to you or an actual new model, the outside seemed mostly 1980s style and inside like 2015. What bus manufacturer is this btw? I have seen many old and new buses of very high quality and comfort, i was on a train replacment (setra coach bus)with a dark grey floor carpet lit by floor lights, it looked like a spaceship with a glass roof along the whole bus over the walking area, curtains and and LED light bars along the sides of the roof and buttons above seat are lit in blue. The light intensity would change whenever we approached a bus station. It was slightly similar to this on the interior except id prefer other seats for this video bus. But man the exterior feels so outdated. I've heard North america makes it hard to sell international bus brands there, so i guess exterior is fine for american standards. Similar with amazon delivery trucks, a 2019 model looked exactly the same as the 1980 model.
This is an actual new model, 2023 model year. The bus is a CX-45 manufactured by VanHool, which is a European bus manufacturer. Yes, the North American market is behind in bus design in comparison to other parts of the world!
I made the mistake of buying a black car one time and I will never do it again. Black looks good when it is fresh clean but it never stays that way for very long.
Actually this one kind of fell in our laps 🤣 We never order a color other than white. Most of the different color buses you see are orders for other companies that didn't finalize and we were able to buy them instead!
Well you did fine. That one car was crowding you and he kept crossing the line. I noticed that he did that a couple times when you got near Chicago! In fact you might have been in the edge of Chicago. Now that space that they wanted you to put it that into I don't see you in the top hat it's not good look for you.I don't think you you can pull a rabbit out of a hat. So I think that would be the only way that you possibly could get that big coach in that space. That coach does not fit under a bed! Now give that finger a rest when you count all the things in the engine that you're supposed to check because the way you shake that thing if you have kids. They should be scared to death of that finger. That engine on that coach is scared to death of what you did to it with that finger so it knows better and act up while you're driving it. Again you made a really good quality video. Enjoy yourself have a great evening...
Quite the opposite, actually! Prevost is the gold standard. The VanHool CX45 is one of the roughest riding buses and is wildly unpopular among our drivers.
@@alblua wow interesting...even with the air ride seat? Maybe you can do a video on comparison of different units at Peoria :) I'm well versed in cars but zero knowledge on motorcoaches. Always, thanks for bringing us quality videos!
As far as I know Van Hool in North America aims for a lower price market. I am guessing the rougher ride is a result of the European suspension settings. In Europe Van Hool is more in the mid-range market field.
@@_Jin_Kim_ Yes, even with the air ride seat! I've only had the seat bottom out (even with the seat on the stiffest spring setting) only on a VanHool CX-45 on the same potholes. I'm considering making a series of reviews with all the different models we have!
I tell you what I wish that when jams do his video that he does a fast track when driving a lest u don't do that that whats makes your video a bit better to watch
Super Shiny New Bus you drive to Chicago Alblua🏙🚌✨✨🎈🎈😎 It moves right along at a steady smooth pace but the blinkers are a little bit loud the tik tok tik tok haha. The mood lighting is nice too the green color and would be especially soothing to the senses during the late night hours. So how about the new bus smell is it the same as new car smell? Thanks for posting great bus videos I always enjoy to accompany you along for the ride👍 Have a Good One😊
Yes, the blinkers are quite loud now 🤣 The changing light colors is a rarity in our fleet. New bus smell is a little different than a new car smell, hard to describe!
Actually, the CX45 driver seat is at the same level as the passenger area. Prevost and MCI driverseats both sit at a separate, lower level than passengers.
I’m sorry you’re tied up with shaming and misunderstanding habits that you are not used to seeing. Not only do I wash my gloves after every trip, I take my gloves off interacting with customers as they are rough textured for better grip on the steering wheel. They are not comfortable for handshakes.
