From my understanding, kids who need to cross the street are *supposed* to cross while the bus is still there to stop traffic. The bar on the front of the bus is to make sure the kids cross far enough out from the bus that the driver is able to see the kids, and doesn't start driving while one is still in front of the bus.

And the bar is there for the kids too, so they’re out further from the bus and have a wider angle to look for cars

I was a busy assistant and I can confirm the cross arm is to keep the kids from getting too close to the front so the driver can see them

Came here to say the same thing. Bar is so kids are far enough away from the front to be seen by the driver.

As a school bus driver I can confirm. The crossbar allows the kids to know where to stand and wait for me to wave them across so they can be far enough away since kids will walk directly in front of the bus otherwise and we can't see them without looking at our crossover mirrors that show directly in front of the bus. Also you have to wait with your bus in neutral gear and keep the stop sign out so no drivers fly by, which happens often sadly. There is a button for marking on the camera timeline for people back at base in case someone does this, I blow the air horn if someone drives by the stop sign as a warning, if they keep on going then they receive a $400 ticket, though most are lucky and the camera doesn't see their plate. Need a clean license plate picture in the camera in order for the police to pursue legal action.

The fan fiction line 😂 I can't even imagine how many times school bus drivers just think to themselves "really wish I didn't hear that"

When I used to drive regularly, my rule was, if you wouldn't say it to or in front of your grandma, don't say it in front of me!

The front bumper swinging arm on school buses is so that kids walk in front of the bus far enough away where the bus driver can see them over the tall hood!

I was a school bus driver/trainer in Kentucky for several years,one of the most satisfying experiences (for the most part). The state of simulation now is incredible. I am hopelessly obsessed with ATS (former big truck driver as well). Your contribution to the hobby is much appreciated.

As an Ex-Highschooler, this made me laugh because our bus driver was terrible at driving 😂. I was so happy during my senior year i had early leave and didn't ride the bus home.

Current school bus driver here, surprised you never said anything considering how lippy I've heard that high schoolers can be (though not as bad as middle schoolers). Generally have to be a good driver in order to pass the CDL B test to get your school bus license and endorsement, it is not an easy test. Have to answer about 100-150 written questions at the DMV, on top of 2+ hours of in-person testing driving, backing up, and knowing every square inch of the bus and what to look for. Though I am old now and never rode the school bus when I was a kid in the late 90's and early 2000's. By the time I rode the bus we had city metro buses for our high school.

Early dismissal was goated no cap you could skip the hassle of dismissal traffic

Former school bus driver here, the crossing arm/bar is so the kids who are crossing are within the bus driver's vision. Some kids tend to cross too close and the bus driver might not be able to see them. Crossing arms are intended for conventional school buses, not flat nose aka transit style buses. But on another note, I can't wait for the Thomas Buses to come out. I drove an EFX and I want to drive it again

Jeff, just play the game the way you want. All the haters and complaints can go on somewhere. Enjoy your content my man!!

High school pals can talk about absolutely anything, from a kiss to a secret agent. Anything! 😂

Jeff's inner bus driver came out while watching this video. Kinds of makes you wonder if Jeff was a bus driver in a past life and he is reliving it

As a bus driver I love this so much. It's funny to watch.

its crazy seeing these buses as an Australian when I was in high school we drove 12 miles on the bus and often they were coaches like the Setra buses on here, we did have some old school buses but they were used mainly for school sports days

“Accidentally kissing his cousin .”😂

Absolutely can appreciate a Billy Madison quote anywhere anytime a school bus is involved lmfao thx Jeff lol

Amazing job with my favorite school buses.

Yet another bangin' video from Jeff absolutely amazing

Growing up in Florida taught me to clench my cheeks at all times because no matter what, you're gonna fly around on a school bus. Potholes just make it a minigame of "Who can stay in their seat the longest!"

That cross bar is a very modern feature. They were never on our busses, but our drivers just kept the lights active until we were finished crossing the road. It was not until the late 80s or 90s when the stop signs were first illuminated. I think due to the game world being European based it naturally looks more fantasy. Probably see a lot more grime and slime if it was located in NYC (think 1984 Ghostbusters)

If you press F7 when using trackIR it smooths out the movement which stops viewers feeling sick when watching

I'm so glad you quoted Chris Farley from Billy Madison

Awesome as usual. I love this series. Have a good weekend, Jeff!

OMG me too! I've always been partial to Blue Bird school buses, primarily because I grew up riding them. One of the main reasons I clicked on this video was the All American Blue Bird on the thumbnail.

I love these videos. You vocalize everything I’ve wanted to say when having to chaperone on some of my daughter’s field trips and couldn’t. Keep up the great work!

😂 your comments at the kids are accurate to a bus drivers thoughts

I loved the Billy Madison shout-out using a line from 1 of the funniest people who ever did it, Chris Farley! This game is actually pretty satisfying if I must say so myself.. hope all is well with you & the family and the fur babies.. I hope you enjoy your holiday weekend my friend!

“Good to know that hasn’t changed.” It took me over! 😂😂😂

By protocol, our bus drivers were required to blare their horn when someone runs their stop light. I remember one day someone ran the light, and the horn got stuck, so we had to listen to a loud bus horn for 2-3 minutes before another bus driver got out of his bus and was able to get the horn un-stuck.

Love the Billy Madison references

I remember riding the school bus to school and My Father drove a School Bus for 6 or 7yrs and He actually drove for my Elementary School and Middle School. He actually help one of his Fellow bus drivers out when there bus Broke down. He actually drove a 1996 Bluebird School Bus and a Thomas School Bus. And the end of the school year in Brentwood Tennessee all the bus drivers would honk there bus Horn and Airhorn to celebrate the end of the school year

Might’ve said it last video but Jeff reminds me of a bus driver I had in middle school and in high school. He made sure you got home quick but it was a rough ride

I love the way you talk to the kids that’s how we real bus drivers are especially when it comes to them high schoolers

I love the random conversations in the background.

I love it when that kid was talking about the bus driver being the passenger and the kid being a driver, Jeff comment was the best (If you want to role-play go apply for ocrp)

I love the things you say during this series. As a dad of 4, I die laughing liatenung to you dealing with the kids, haha.

Have a good day Jeff

1:45 Hail to the bus driver bus driver

Yessss love the uploads!

The Billy Madison references are gold! LOL

That line at 8:44 from Jeff, highly relatable because of those kids.

yay thanks for making another one mate love it your so funny and have been for years

The old lady in green at the beginning shuffling across the street not caring 😂

Love the roll play ❤❤❤

At the end “maybe now he’ll learn.” To the kid you ran over 😂

great, grand, wonderful!!! NO YELLING ON THE BUS!!! LOLOL

Thank god more lmfao I’m dying 😂 I wish you were my bus driver as a kid haha

Gotta love the Chris Farley Cover from Billy Madison from Jeff lol. Another great video Jeff. Glad to see another one of Bus Sim with this update.

*29:07** Man that driver was so impatient.*

I grew up with those Thomas busses XD They were so ghetto but my Bus driver in elementary school drove it like he stole it. He would get me home so much faster than any other driver I had.

love the billy madison reference lol lucky no one thru there sandwiches at you

Great video Jeff!

OHHH I love your steering wheel setup :)

Get these damn kids off my damn bus! LOL. Funny driving!

hey jeff love your videos dude . this makes me think of when i got on the bus for school lol

keep this series up man!

I love your videos❤❤❤

I had a bus driver who was cool. He would speed up for bumps so we would go FLYING.

Great vid bud have a nice Friday night

Talking about his story when he went to school reminded me when I went to school the bus driver that drove my bus didnt care about speed bumps much , but it was so fun riding the back we with like jump off the seat for a second so fun

Dope video 🔥🔥🔥

It looks relaxing ! I do this in gta just to chill

Good to see u again jeff love the vids keep them up ur doing great don't let little things get in ur mind as long as u put ut mind to stuff u can do anything see ya jeff take care

"Hang on back there dummies." 😅😂

The payday screen comes up when you reach the next level, like when you went from 11 to 12 at the end of the video.

brilliant video...

"Hey guess what? Nobody cares" Best line i've heard in a long time 😂😂😂😂

1:30 Jeff sounds like Big weld from the Robots movie 🤣 Also the crossing arm is for kids like Jeff said to not run out onto the road but also it’s at a certain point where the bus drivers can see the kids.

Let’s go boys time for school

And also loving the content

They should implement the child checkmate system that makes you go to the back of the bus and hit a button and you are supposed to search the bus for sleeping children on the way back, maybe sometimes a kid will forget to get off the bus and you find them.

These kids were driving u nuts I know u wanted to smack one of them 😂😂😂😂😂🤣😆

earned new sub❤

I love school bus driver Jeff

50/50 school bus driver angry episode love this video!

So much kid just pushing into the bus 😂

Happy Friday to you ❤

Don’t explain yourself for having fun and enjoying it! Don’t listen to them haters

I had a bus driver that made me sit up front for always getting in trouble in the back of the bus, but he was still cool about it, and there was this street that had this dip in it, and he would always look at me, smile, and put the pedal to the medal and tell me to watch the back of the bus. When he hit the dip, everyone in the back 5 seats would literally fly up in the air a couple feet and back down. He and I laughed every time. Good times

Loved the Chris Farley.

Must be Pennsylvania with all the potholes. Jesus. Also I love how your yellow light was 15 seconds and the one for the cross street was just 1 second.

My friends mom who was our bus driver one yr let us have a paper fight going in to xmas as long as she didnt get hit with paper she was cool with it. That would never happen now a days. Also had another one who would bring his radio with tape deck and play his own music which was hardcore rap uncensored and this was in middle school. He was hella cool. Miss those days

Right, who cares about the potholes? 😂 These buses can take them..Dont worry if your bus starts vibration and chattering over bumps..means you broke it in 😅

You killed that brown child 😂

I love the videos jeff

So when I play, since the game allows multiple keybinds, I bound the STOP/OVERRIDE with the door, and the crossing arm all on one key (and the door also on a separate key) so I didn't have to focus on that so much. The concept is very similar to how a bus works (big observer here, LOL) as on the older buses with the hand crank doors, the switch was inside the crank frame and when de-pressed activated the reds. Upon door closed and the switch pressed, the reds went off. I believe on the newer ones, it's similar, just not as obvious. SO, for me, I steer with my mouse, so my binds are as follows... Accelerate - W Decelerate - S Left turn signal - A Right turn signal - D Ambers - Q Doors - 1, 6, E Reds - E Crossing Arm - E Hope this helps make things a little easier for you!

"Take over vehicle"....watch out for road pirates, Jeff.

Just roasting those children. Hilarious. lol

Best way i can think of explaining the payday pop ups is, think of how most games have a level up system with earning xp. But instead of leveling up in Bus Sim, you get paydays. Doesnt mean the run is over yet. I've had bus routes so long where i get 3 or 4 paydays before I finish them.

oh wow, just came across this in my 'suggested'.. I was subscribed to you many years ago (maybe around 10 years ago) when you use to play GTA IV LCPDFR... I lost my old account and now found you again, use to watch everyone of your videos... Sir you have another subscriber :) Glad to be back
