10 year old and sounds so smooth and refined. Testament to the fine German engineering you can't hardly hear the engine or gear changes just the diff! Love these videos 👍
This bus seems a quite a bit quicker than your J4500! Compared to a transit bus, I love driving motorcoaches because they give me a bit of Zen even after doing an 8-hour shift... it must be that deep engine rumble. Beautiful U of M coach, because holy smokes, it comes in black too! Trying to squeeze out more power with the PERF MODE ON at 1:46?
It sure moves. Everyone who has driven both vehicles can agree that this is the quicker of the two. And it's definitely relaxing too haha. And of course, im gonna get all the power I can!
@@eugew23 Huh, I wonder why Maryland Shuttle UM stopped buying Setra coach buses. Nothing wrong with the bus and the lack of noise seems like a bus driver’s dream come true Edit: I’ve since realized that Setra no longer sells Coaches into the North American Market which is sad. Also sad that University of Maryland retired the Setra Coaches
According to @texasabbott, "according to an Allison vocational motorcoach manual, "MODE ON" button on the B500 makes the transmission shift at 300 rpm higher when going from gears [4 to 5] and [5 to 6] only. It makes no difference in shifting from gears 1 to 4.'
there probably isn't much overlap between your viewers and people who played the mobile game Bus Simulator Ultimate, but it'd satisfy me to play Melihcan's "Yan" and Cem Kılıç's "Nasıl Bir İnsansın" while watching your vids

Hello! I allways liked this spllited front windshield on USA vechiles..
Gretings from Croatia!
Love how quiet the air brakes are.
Seems like a very smooth and quiet bus. Built in GPS too, never seen that.

I would love to, but we do not carry those vehicles in our fleet.
@@eugew23 oh
Hi Eugene, which is the one you like driving in between this Setra and the MCI J4500 you test drived?
I enjoy driving both, but I prefer the Setra because of its superb comfort and power delivery.
Käsbohrer (Setra) ... in English it would mean Cheesedrill. :) German purrfection. ^^
yera are you from
What does the "MODE" button do on this coach?
According to @texasabbott, "according to an Allison vocational motorcoach manual, "MODE ON" button on the B500 makes the transmission shift at 300 rpm higher when going from gears [4 to 5] and [5 to 6] only. It makes no difference in shifting from gears 1 to 4.'
@@eugew23 So it improves acceleration and is suitable in the mountains?
