    1:38 just to clarify: The company running the bus line is Czech, but Setra as a bus manufacturer is German (Founded in 1950, and today part of the Daimler Truck AG)

    • @Kilian600
      @Kilian600 Рік тому +6

      The manufacturer was called Kässbohrer, founded 1893 in my hometown (Ulm). SETRA = SE lbstTRA gende Karrosserie (self supporting body) was their invention. After 1995 it was obtained by Daimler Truck AG, which continues to produce now under the brand name Setra. Around '69-'70, Kässbohrer was the biggest bus producer in Germany.

    Hello man! Check out Bruce Wilson's clips from Dade City, Florida. He bought a red Scania truck (r144, if I'm not mistaken) from the USA and another white one, newer, from 1997, from Canada (it must be older than 25 years, so that it can be imported into the USA) and he is very amazed by the technology that exists on the trucks in Europe, even from that year and by the engineering how they were designed, nothing comes by chance or caught with clips. He was very impressed by the fact that the cabin is on airbags and the entire truck itself is on airbags, and you can lower or raise the rear axle from the remote control. If it's not too far from where you live, who knows, you might pay a visit to see a Scania truck in reality. This week or next week, he is going to Sweden to visit the Scania production plant, the truck test circuit and be amazed by the technology on the latest truck models and the way they drive. And not to forget, to buy and order a lot of spare parts for truck maintenance. Greetings from Romania! PS: see the latest Dacia models (the Romanian car brand), the 2024 Duster model has just appeared.

    In this video Setra is mentioned as one of the most known builders of luxury coaches. Another brand worth mentioning is Neoplan. Also a German brand, nowadays owned by MAN. You really should check them out. In the late 70's upto early 90's they built the coolest bus ever - Neoplan Jumbocruiser. A double-decker articulated bus. Enormous! Only 11 were built, I think? Personally I have seen 2 of them, one in Sweden (Malmö) and the other one at Dachau Germany. The swedish one had a kitchen with chairs and table in the lower back. Luggage in a big "backpack" on the buses backside. Sometimes an extra trailer for additional bagage. Sorry to say this bus crashed into a bridge some years ago. The bus driver forgot he had an extra floor and peeled of almost the whole upper floor. The bus had no passengers at the time, thankfully! 🥵
    Our family often took coach trips with travel agencies from Sweden down to central Europe. The travel in itself was half the fun, not just the final destination. Meet a lot of nice people. Visited Oslo, Prague, Paris, London, The Tyrol, The Garda lake (Italy) by bus. Things to remember!

    European coach (and truck) drivers can drive for 9 hours in a typical day, split into two 4.5 hours blocks with a break of at least 45 minutes in between.
    This journey will have required 2 drivers; the second one may have got on part-way through for his 9 hour shift, or the journey started with two drivers on board who swapped over periodically.

    As an answer to one question in one of your earlier bus videos - "how these big buses can manage to go through tight passages"? Well, most bigger buses with double axles in the back have back-wheel steering. So with one front axle steering and at least one in the back the bus becomes fairly nimble for its size.

    a popular dutch tour bus is the VDL Futura and previously VDL/Bova Futura(same story as with Berkhof).
    a popular bus here locally in the province of Utrecht where Syntus Utrecht provides the public bus transport is the Setra S 415 and S 418, they use longer Merceds Citaro G for busy routes and the VDL Citea 120 for a special line with a low crossing(and if not needed there elsewhere). they also use BYD(Build Your Dream, a chinese vehicle manufacturer) K9 electric buses

    I was a stewardess in RegioJet few years ago. And this is pretty funny to me. RegioJet is a czech company running national&international bus lines and also trains. When I worked there, the Flixbus started to pop up in Czech republic, and it was really tough competition, because they had prices like really, really low in the beggining. They had the first one double-decker which I had seen in the Czech republic also (and these are in the video, too). One year after I quit my job there, RegioJet quit the stewardess in buses (in national, i am not sure about international), so it absolutely lost the uniqueness, and then they quit a big part of buses lines. The company focused on train transportation mainly. And suddenly now - I see that they have the same double-decker repainted from green to yellow and buses are back 😂
    And the vending machines - I am not sure if it is vending machine, because it can be only the “menu”, and the stewardess sells it. If I am wrong, then… they figure out how they can rid of stewardess and still have the same services 😂
    Funfact: there was a beer to sell, but I wasnt allowed to sell more then two to a single person. Also, i always had only few of them in bus.

    Kässbohrer SETRA = SE lbstTRA gende Karrosserie (self supporting body). At that time it was the first bus with a body made of a self-supporting tubular frame with aluminum paneling. Until then, the standard was a rigid ladder frame with a separate mounted structure. It was also one of the first buses with independent suspension in front with air suspension and disc brakes. Was also one of the few manufacturers in Germany that used third-party units. You could have it with a Mercedes or MAN engine and different transmissions.
    Very good busses but they couldn't keep up with international competition and were bought by Daimler-Benz AG. Then it became EvoBus GmbH.

    I see more and more busses like this. Nowadays, the ticket prices of airline companies like Ryanair and EasyJet are pretty much unbeatable, so I guess that these bus companies offer similar fares but with the added comfort and luxury.
    I once travelled in one of these busses by the company Flixbus (we see one in this video, the green bus) because Ryanair and EasyJet only had flights that would arrive late at night and I didn't want the people I was going to stay with to wait for me that late. The nice thing, besides the comfort and having free Wi-Fi and all that stuff, it was nice when we stopped, I got outside to smoke a cigarette and people would start talking to each other, like we're in this together, you know? That doesn't happen in an airplane.

      I have also flown with Wizz Air from Oslo (Norway) to Bucuresti (Romania) ....a distance of over 2700 km ....for 30 Euro. But Wizz Air like many others put the seats so close to each other that there are no space for your legs.....you have only standing place ......or you have to leave your legs at home.
      Sadly is the information about legroom on plane not easily available. So it's just a lottery.

      No matter the manufacturer of those double-decker buses the height restrictions on vehicles makes such buses ridiculous and uncomfortable. I can't see the "luxury" with having to crawl around to get/in out of.those things. I'm not even close to be able to stand upright. So for me it is single-decker bus ...every time.... They have more room because of proper sealing height ...and they are equally well equipped ....and they are better to drive ....have better driving capabilities ....which makes them superior in every way. The only thing you can do with double-decker is to cram more people into a marginally bigger size box .....because it's overall height is like 30-40 cm higher than a single deck bus.

    I worked as a bus and coach driver for many years. Some of them were fabulous to drive and travel in, some of them... not.
    In Europe, there are chassis builders like Volvo, Scania and MAN, and body builders like Plaxton, Irizar and Van Hool. Some, like Setra, build integrals, ie chassis/body monocoques with a proprietary engine. Setra uses Mercedes engines; Mercedes also builds coaches but to a slightly more basic spec than Setra.
    My favourites to drive are MANs because the engine is so smooth and quiet. But DAF engines have a ton of power and Volvos feel unbreakable. Scanias are nice, too, especially their hill descent control.
    Driving double decker coaches like this Setra takes some getting used to - rearwards visibility is crap, you're sat low and the ceiling is close.

    Btw… My favourite Setra is 517 HDH. A single decker in the same size as the double decker but way much nicer both to drive and ride as a passenger. And about three times of loading space.
    Setra is sold in US. The main problem though is Americans replace worlds best drive chain from Mercedes and ZF with a Cummings diesel and Wilson gearbox. A drivechain 30 years behind Mercedes in development. On long distance drive the European drive chain consumes 20-25 liters/100 Km (9.4 GPM). A US equipped bus needs about double that.

    No disrespect but from Lithuanians prospective it looks standard bus or coach. Double deckers like this one are for international travel and normal ones are for intercity usually. Most of them are Setra some Scania and MAN for close journeys between towns some Turkish Otocars I believe and Isuzus. The only thing I cared about was that all of them had Wi-Fi 😂
    P. S. Please do a video on EmergencyScandinavian Lithuanian emergency vehicles. ✌🏻

    Yes, its a nice bus - but its a long ride as well. They may have a break, but not to often because that makes the trip even longer.
    I assume they start in the early night, because its much better to drive during the night. In this trip they have to go right accross Germany, and during the day that can be aa real pain in the back side in some regions.
    When I did airport transfer I also much rather drove during the night. That avoids getting cought in traffic jams and you can also put your foot down much easier and safer.
    But the best is not having to drive at all, like now after I retired. :)

    I traveled for almost 36h in bus across Europe. Let me tell you no matter how luxurious it is, it gets old real fast, you don't even get too much cool views as you almost exclusively travel by highways. For long trips and nice views if you don't want to take plane then train is much more comfy option.

    HELLO FROM PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC - this is a standard long distance REGIO JET bus - the only difference is that untill now it were IRIZAR busses - but since IRIZAR was taken over by SCANIA - SETRA was simply cheeper...
    Regarding the equipment is a standard for at least 15 years - the screens with "infotaiment" - movies, games, actual location of the bus on the highway, internet, wifi and untill reacently also stewardes on board offering free newspapers and magazines and free hot drinks, cold drinks for funny-low price - for every seat, plugs for every seat, tilet in the bus etc.. REGIOJET has been market maker for the whole europe since its beginning. Now he is bringing 2-1 seats for normal-low price also as a first in the market in europe.
    The company also have its train divission. Its 100% owned by its fouder - Mr. Radim Jančura

With the same bus. The AC bearings were broken. And yet, it was one of the best holidays ever. The personal association, rented from my work. Also called double-deckers, to take us to and from parties. But this one is very luxurious. Greetings from Spakenburg, Netherlands. yr Gerben T van de Veen yt Vebo Beton

I fell asleep as soon as the bus departed and was woken up by the german border police. The edibles fully kicked in at this poit and I also realized I still had some weed on me I forgot to get rid of before departure. The paranoia this gave me was crazy! Fortunately the cops searched only the one black dude on the bus and let us continue on our way. Fun times!
