"Low floor" meaning no driveshafts? Electric motors at drive wheels? Are the center wheels driven? In snow prone areas, computer controlled anti-slip and 4WD would be the ticket!! Cost more but...
I don't know that specific type of bus, but they usually have the engine in the rear and a drive shaft to the rear axle. This means you don't have a low floor for the rear seats, but that is typically fine since these buses have enough seats easily accessable. For such weather it would be really great to have more than two driven wheels. I would say with conventional driveshafts and low floor this is impossible, but maybe in the future we will see hybrid buses with a conventional driveshaft to the rear wheels and an alectric motor at the center wheels. It is an obvious concept but I am not aware of anything but prototypes existing in this area.
The bus driver problem was that he went too far over to the right. When it snows and the road is plowed you're not suppose to pull into bus stops but to safely pull parallel and with one side of driving tires in the black.
We have the same problem in NYC. From the beginning of time, all bus manufacturers should have made the artics with power also going to the middle axle so you could have an ordinary 8 wheel drive setup (back drive wheels, including the middle dual wheels) and they should have snow tires on every single wheel......all 10 of them. They would not need any electronic aids. Only what I mentioned just now. If these bus manufacturers did this, they would never have any problems in ALL parts of the world driving during snow seasons.
@*_•reshirm•_* Novabus is a canadian bus manufacturer... in canada, as well as many northern USA cities, it snows during winter... Novabus is supposed to be a bus enough resistant to cold
Thats why the classics and new looks were good
have they ever tried cleaning the streets?

@@danielrose1392 yeah this bus is a push bus not a pull bus.

ok bus driver expert
people slip between the snow pile and the bus step ,thats why you dont leave too much space
Noticed they just need to add better tires for the winter like winter tires

Only problem with this is how do you get a drive shaft to bend with the shape of the bus
Out finally thanks for that cop there
That cop praise him he helped him out
00:29 One bus stuck and another going out on a hook. 🤣🤣🤣
Is that a service car?
Where are the snow tires?
Huh
Was this recorded at Sheppard and Pharmacy?
Yes, This video was recorded at Sheppard & Pharmacy.
Try instaling tire chains on the bus tires
Now it spins got it spinning but now to get out
This is why you dont run articulated bus after a snow storm
Man Canada is cold to have snow like that in June!

𝓟𝓪𝓹𝓪 𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓴𝓾 lol
Had to be bald tires, there wasn’t even that much snow ice on the floor, plus the Operator could’ve did a better job
Tire chains
maybe the bus just slid into the curb ,that happens alot
Some of these drivers purposely get there bus stuck to milk over time
So stuck it won't let him spin his wheels tries moves by rocking but wheels not spinning
