    The good thing about bus driving is that the cargo is mainly self-loading. The bad part is that the cargo can speak.

    Over here in the UK the main things that set bus driving apart from coach and truck driving are, if you do local service work you don't need a tacho, the shifts are set out for you so you know when you start and finish, the only thing worse is the money and if you aren't a people person it isn't the job for you.
    I've been a bus driver for 27 years with the same company so far, I love it and own several preserved buses too.

      ​@@iiparachuteregiment8800 If you drive buses you have the right qualification and can drive coaches also. As long as you have the full D licence and don't just drive category D1 minibuses. You need a CPC (certificate of professional competance) qualification which all bus drivers will have.

    why not have more bus videos? It would be interesting
    The advantage of driving trucks over coaches is that the cargo doesn't answer back or get travel sick!

    Stavros FYI the door on the driver’s side in the middle is known as the continental door for when the coach crosses the English Channel over to Europe so the passengers can get out on the kerb without getting run over if they were to exit on the normal side.

    You should take a driving lesson on a bus, will be fun. When I was wrapping up for my D class driving lessons they let me have a go at one of their trucks, lots of fun, but apparently truckdrivers seem to struggle with being able to put a fair bit of the nose over curbs.

    • @Rohan-ot5ji
      @Rohan-ot5ji 2 роки тому +2

      The front overhang takes getting used to, around the city as you said and especially around narrow twisty mountain roads. You have to wrap your head around the fact that the steered axles actually sit behind you and you have to steer earlier if you don't want to scrape or bang the front edges against a rock outcropping. The same goes for the caterpillar mirrors too I suppose
