The GMY-382 shown in the video is an Ikarus 280.40A built in 1998. It was taken into service by Hajdú Volán in June 1999 and started working on local routes in Debrecen. It spent 10 years there, and was taken out of service in July 2009. It became redundant due to the change of operator, but as it was only 10 years old at the time, so it obviously did not head for the scrapper. It was bought by Bakony Volán, which put it into service in August 2009 in várpalota. For a while it was still running in its original colour, but later it turned yellow, at first with black bumpers and white doors. It was later taken over by ÉNYKK and later by Volánbusz. In the summer of 2022, it was used as a replacement for the Suburban Railway (HÉV) in Budapest. The bus still runs on local routes in Várpalota and on interurban services between Várpalota and Pétfürdő.
