Absolutely. Knowing the balance between flow and recklessness is an important factor in city driving. Also, knowing your own limits in skillset is great to have.
Did a practice road test for Class A the other day and I almost threw a fit. NYC is chaos. People parked in the road everywhere, sometimes on both sides. Drivers cutting you off. People speeding around you because youre trying to be careful. It's maddening. I can't wait to move out of here.
awesome driving boss man, I use to drive for Megabus when they first started around 2008. I do not miss those NYC drives to Boston or NYC to DC runs. I now live out west driving for a small california city for their transit authority and absolutely love it.

Totally love how you kept your cool, despite being cut off and pedestrians walking infron totally oblivious that a bus is waiting for them to pass so he can be on his way. Kudos to you sir! And I totally love the sound of that Allison transmission
Having had driven on a university campus for a few years before COVID, my patience with pedestrians is rock solid lol. If there is a place other than a dense city that has a lot of pedestrians, it's a college campus.
i used to drive 53" trucks in and out of NY, was a nightmare passing thru gwb at any time i cant imagine how stressful a bus in the middle of the city has to be, respect brother!
Anyone driving in nyc goodness y'all have patience and skills you gotta have it ,nyc is the ultimate test to driving skills I assume ,test you on all levels every second 🤣
I love how tight the tunnel is. Back when I worked for Adirondack Trailways I’d put the Jake’s on the first MCI J models and man it sounded good in the tunnel
I hear ya NY is beautiful the traffic is so insane! It take you 10 minutes just to get 2 miles 😭😭😭 but you always do the best POV I appreciate it and love it
Average speed in midtown Manhattan during a work day is a about 5mph. It takes forever to get anywhere using the roads. Subway is much faster for getting from here to there.
I'm european, I drove a boxy RV through Edmonton Canada and just managed to avoid all overheight situations it threw at me, so looking at all these traffic lights and road signs and low bridges is nerve wrecking!
i et shook driving large su's in ny those drivers are reckless i could only imagine how much tougher it is being in a giant bus now that's skills right there i saw some turns you made i'm like how in the work did he make the right turns nice video man!!!!
I remember the first time I visited NYC. Like a fool we decided to drive into Manhattan. Next time I learned my lesson and used bikeshare and the trains, wayyy better experience.
Much respect, I remembered driving through Manhattan in a Fiat 500X and was already shaken up by every move afraid if I scraped anything and that was a very small car.
NOT impossible just a different type of driving. Cross town sucks, double parked trucks can move don't forget, usually left running and attended. Traffic looks light !
If I lived in a big city I wouldn't even own a car. Driving in large cities is hectic and usually slower than public transport. Not worth the stress imo.
@@Pres_NotSure sorry man. I couldn't imagine today. I used to take side trips all day and night. Always got the job done and back to the wearhouse in time. Explored NYC and the surrounding boroughs all the time. Loved it.
I know it's not the same, but I live in LA and this reminds me of the Los Angeles freeway system. Construction, lots of people and traffic laws are pretty much a suggestion. Good work on keeping your poise, I would have raged at that Cadillac in the beginning of the video.
I find it funny how the bigger the vehicle or "bus" the more likely everyone thinks you can stop on a dime and turn on a penny. They stop on a quarter and turn on a silver dollar. ...great video!!!!
People in NYC know a CDL is not going to run into them even if they act like jerks. What you have to look out for is the BMW drivers or the guys from the burbs driving pickups.
I just went to New York this week and I must admit it’s the only place I have personally been to that you are basically expected to drive like an a hole and always be in a rush
That's amazing how you get a birds eye view on the screen. I thought driving in London was bad to hell with driving one in nyc, how long is the coach? We have 15metre long with rear axle steering too
1:47 oh my-... ik anyone can posess the skill if they set their mind to it, and I believe I could too, but either way even doing so, I still felt like I would've sideswiped XD
Lol, I was about to comment how I could never do this but I totally forgot I used to drive a 26ft straight truck all over nyc a couple years ago. Worst job I ever had.
cameras on all sides film the floor and then a picture of the bus is simply placed in the middle to create the illusion of a top view, which makes it easier to comprehend for the driver
Yeah driving through NYC is not my fave thing to do. When I go visit family I generally avoid going through city which I normally can avoid. Once awhile I have to go into edge of city just by staying on highway. One year I had to drive down to Glen Island park in New Rochelle just on edge of city for COVID testing since I came from Chicago to visit families during Christmas. Thankfully I was tested negative on Christmas Eve and I didn’t have to quarantine for 7 days. It was a mess driving in new Rochelle and it took me two hours to go though the line.
NYC looks best in the rearview mirror
NYC is a magical city. ✨
It can make your patience and humanity disappear like that 🫰
pretty sure your city is much more fun
I drove through Manhattan in a Jetta and it was a nightmare. Much respect for driving this.
Did you ever drive on Hwy 401 in Toronto, ON during rush hour?
@@AntoshGill 401 isn't chaotic just slow

love how you're not afraid to put the pedal down, some people don't know how to get out the way in new york.
For keeping with the lead motorcoach and getting the tail past intersections, yes. Otherwise, dropping the pedal is reckless in cities
Absolutely. Knowing the balance between flow and recklessness is an important factor in city driving. Also, knowing your own limits in skillset is great to have.
That part he knows his bus and makes it happen I notice good job on driving filming and surviving
I love talking coach tours, instead of driving, much more fun to look at the sights.
showing intent is one of the best skills you can have while driving

Driving in NYC takes its own special skill set
The turn signal cameras are pretty cool.
This is a cool pov bro
I don't drive busses but this was cool to watch! I live in NYC, so I understand the nightmare of driving on the streets of Manhattan
HES BACK WITH ANOTHER BANGER!!!! 💯💯💯🗣️🗣️🗣️

3:08 he hit the truck 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😝😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Slime-Man-ExtremeThat loud pop sound. He’s joking that the driver hit the truck it passed. The sound was actually the pot holes in the street.
I love the POV of this MCI
Good to hear some newer buses are still powered by Detroit Diesel. I miss the DD50 engines in our city buses back in the day
Detroit hopped out the motor coach market, these were some of the last coach buses with Detroits, but they are planning on coming back in
@@Pa_school_bus_enthusiast Hope so, before the electric movement takes over
Just know, I would have gotten some White Castles. Best French fry’s ever!
Awesome! I’ve done San Francisco but this looks like a whole different level of insanity!
nyc is so beautiful
I know you would get used to driving something like this... But those few times must be incredibly nerve-wracking. This was great to watch.
Appreciate you always.
Never been to NYC, but this vid somehow makes driving there look like LESS of a cluster than Chicago or London
It blows
Once he gets through the tunnel he's no longer in NYC, he's in New Jersey.
lmaoooo glad to see your enjoying my city. cool to see a video like this, not many POV bus driving vids in the city. good shit.
Respect for your driving skills.

Do this while driving a manual them bus drivers in Vietnam they know wtf they doing
He knows how to drive 🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡
That 360 camera on the bus is an amazing feature it must be super helpful during the tight spots in cities

love the dash video display, that type of display should be standard on all cars
YOU'RE BACK 🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you for posting the video about driving the bus in NYC the traffic is horrible drivers try to go in front of you it’s terrible driving in NY
I'm a coach driver in London, yeah NYC looks just as chaotic. Definitely not for the faint of heart
17.67 usd a hour so it's 30dolars nzd they get here in nz to drive busses and I can say your find it way easy to drive here keep up the good work man
I do this literally all the time. I am working in Florida half a year and NY half a year doing this same thing. You get used to it.
I find it funny how the bigger the vehicle or "bus" the more likely everyone thinks you can stop on a dime and turn on a penny. They stop on a quarter and turn on a silver dollar. ...great video!!!!

Damn you have so many angles, I wish we had that.. our prevosts in MTA are the worst so many blind spots.
eagle eye camera system 😍😍
Nice drive
Im so glad that im never going to drive inside nyc ever in my life
Hold on babe Eugene posted a new video
Get outta here
8:30 woke up this morning and got yourself a gun.
Nice ride 👌
That's amazing how you get a birds eye view on the screen. I thought driving in London was bad to hell with driving one in nyc, how long is the coach? We have 15metre long with rear axle steering too
I thought la traffic was bad when I drove there for vacation but nyc appears to be an entirely different world of chaos
Que genial video
The driver in the gray sedan must be from GA. They like to ride their brakes too.
You are driving behind the Terp bus. That's where I work. University of Maryland at College Park.
Once you cross 10th on 41st just look for the Lincoln tunnel on the left and you will merge right in.
Ain't no way in he'll would I have a driver's license in newyork.😢
Drive thru the Lincoln Tunnel five days a week. Early weekday morings bus lane and all into the port authority bus terminal. Walk in the park.
1:47 oh my-...
ik anyone can posess the skill if they set their mind to it, and I believe I could too, but either way even doing so, I still felt like I would've sideswiped XD
We had to MCI J4500s and soled them for vanhools thay drive very junky
Pretty uneventful getting out of there. Nice vid
Breaks the law twice within the first minute. Yup, this is an NYC driver
😂😂🤡
That safety system is really aggressive about following distance
It is aggressively annoying, not to even mention the speed limit warning warning. Really hampers the experience on these newer buses.
@@eugew23The speed limit for city buses there is 50mph, right?
Omg your fans love you!!!!!

This must be an early weekend morning you got out off Manhattan wayyy to fast dude lol
how does that top view work on the dashboard

Could you drive a new jersey transit mci
Cool video but why are the mirrors so zoomed in lol
not using adaptive cruise control 😮
The best part of NYC?
Leaving.
All I can say from living here is the roads are ridiculous but somehow they work. I don’t get it 😂
i wonder if MCI D series have similar driving feels
this is like every midsized city in europe
