[@raydelbc2006]

Nice you passed on cherry hill rd, the area I live in

[@petunia5835]

Cool.

[@pennsylvaniacoachlines_fanpage]

those newer gilligs kinda shift ruff compared to the older ones the newer shake the whole bus shifting gears

[@LeMulaEstGangxEnt]

Is it possible to make a full gilling drive?

[@kaa1135]

that was fun for me, gonna be a driver soon! why does it sound like you have a bunch of junk rattling around over every bump. AND, Does the bus need new shocks?

[@eugew23]

Ha, these buses are rattle traps. At least the ones at this agency are... This bus was pretty new at the time of the video, so all internal stuff shaking about...

[@640101vh]

Wow that bus definitely seems slow and sluggish. Definitely seems like it has economy mode activated

[@eugew23]

Very might as well! It feels a bit sluggish to me, too.

[@TellurideS13]

If it had the Allison B400R, it'll takeoff.

[@pennsylvaniacoachlines_fanpage]

@@TellurideS13 they probably governor the rpm on some buses to keep the drivers from taking off

[@daienaa]

I like it very much and I wonder why you changed gear to 1 and then back to D 🤔

[@eugew23]

I wanted to hold first gear longer. I find that those buses upshift too quickly.

[@daienaa]

@@eugew23 ohh okey then I know. i have been driving busses 🚌 now but only a computer simulator 😊

[@ejdsndnj]

Was this created by New Flyer?

[@normanreynolds9889]

No, it's not created by New Flyer. It's a Gillig, made in Hayward CA.

[@ejdsndnj]

@@normanreynolds9889 oh

[@eugew23]

Gillig has actually moved to Livermore, CA as of a few years ago!

[@normanreynolds9889]

@@eugew23 Thanks for letting me know Eugene. There will be many of more POV videos of you as Bus Driver coming up soon.

[@pennsylvaniacoachlines_fanpage]

do interior on the new flyer does resemble the gillig probably cause their parts come from the manufactuar

[@firebuffandrewphotography]

Sounds like a Cummins ISL engine

[@eugew23]

I think the ISL is the predecessor to the L9, which is what this bus has. Sounds the same though!

[@firebuffandrewphotography]

Oh

[@xXManxAxPartXx]

Do you ever have passengers on your bus lol

[@eugew23]

Lol I usually record when I don't.

[@basiliocruz8417]
