Thanks for sharing this video

Ahh the legendary long nose bus. I have never driven one, I've only ever been given the snub noses. It can get a little warm in them but it is nice in the winter time, though having the big hump to climb over every time you get in and out of the driver's seat is a bit of a pain.

I’m a school bus driver from St. John’s Newfoundland Labrador love the C2s I drive a brand new 2024 safe travels to you just subscribed to your channel 👍

Great video, I'm from Brazil, I really like school buses in the United States, I play a game called Bus Simulator 21 that also has school buses like this one. Before starting the bus in the game, I also check that everything is in order, just like you do in the video. My dream is to visit the United States one day to see these buses in person, hugs and you gained another subscriber

Learning your inspection and how to drive a bus is overwhelming for the first 3 weeks for someone new, after that it's gravy. One tip I can give you, is use the Google maps street view to do your dry run and learn the route. That's how I memorized my routes when they gave me only 1 day to prepare. Best of luck!

That bus got a carbon fiber hood 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

We have first student here that does the following towns for bus yard 633 Alton,NH (town) Belmont,NH(town) Canterbury,NH(town) Gilford,NH (town) Gilmanton,NH (town) Laconia,NH (city) These places are in the USA

Ah yes the Saf-T-liner C2 with a black hood. Personally busses with black on yellow look nice especally with the gloss

love this☺☺☺!!

Nice video! Just a suggestion though, as someone who works for the same company you do, just at a different location, try to blur out any information that could disclose the company. This is what I do whenever I make videos with the buses where I work.

Hey, nice video! I'm from Brazil and you already got a subscription. May i have a question, this buses have elevator or some kind of access for students in wheelchair or with some kind of disability? Here, the school buses have elevators for this type of situation, since it's law here. And sometimes, you gonna see buses designed for tough roads and buses that once time used in public transport and after that, converted or just repainted for schools purposes!

GoPro has 3 major settings: linear (normal), wide, and superview(widest lens). I filmed this video on wide, because superview causes a bit of a loss of quality. The issue here also is that I didn't position the camera low enough to see the bus dashboard. The video is right on top of my head, so I have to point it down pretty low to see the dash and steering wheel. Side to side this video is actually pretty wide. I'm about to upload part two of driving through Calgary, so stay tuned.

Hey I’m a fan of buses

Nice video. I'm from Ireland. Just a quick observational question. What are those two small round mirrors in the front for? Thanks

@cmiller6352

6 ай бұрын

We call them "crossover mirrors", used for when students cross during loading or unloading. Even though the hood is pretty short, and there is a crossing arm that forces students to walk about 2.5 meters away from the front of the bus, we still want to make sure no one is crouched down in front of the buss before driving away. These mirrors allow visibility in that specific area.

I like the C2's however, Thomas needs to do something with the headlights. Even on low beam they blind oncoming drivers. It's almost as if they are not angled correctly.

@SB-ck9gq

10 ай бұрын

It looks excessive on video, in real life you don't even notice that your head is moving left and right. The reason I'm looking so much left and right is because school buses have 13ft of tailswing. That's more than any vehicle on the road. If you don't keep checking the right mirror, some day you're going to drag a car with your tail. Happens more often than you think.

Our districts top rate is currently $29.50 with guaranteed annual increases of 3% over the next 5 years...when the top rate will be over $34hr. We also get health insurance available to the whole family, not just the employee...with our max contribution to our premium currently being $120 month. We are also eligible to participate in our States Public School Employees Retirement fund, so guaranteed pension after 10 years. Work hours are a guaranteed 2.5 hrs in the AM and 2.5 hrs in the PM with 182 guaranteed paid work days for a total of 910 hrs/year. Beyond that we are a large district that is in never ending need of sports shuttles and field trip transportation, so those are available to us and awarded via bid and seniority. In addition there are a few dedicated mid day runs that are gobbled up by the most senior drivers at another 2.5 hrs. In addition to all of that, we operate a fleet of vans for special needs kids and small group transit...so even more opportunities there but at a much lower hourly rate. Plus there are several summer driving opportunities available. In all, if you're ambitious and stick around to get up on the seniority list, you can make $45+k plus Bennies per year. You're not raising a family on that, but for the right person in the right situation, it ain't all that bad. That said, yes...the $200/day flat rate would be nice and attract more drivers. 😁
