- Today we have another Setra drive. This time, I take you on a full express-run of my regular route in University of Maryland's fleet unit 0511.
My GoPro settings did not record at the normal settings, so I apologize for the strange framing and cropping.
Bus: 2011 Setra S417 TC
Engine: Mercedes-Detroit OM471
Transmission: Allison B500
Camera: GoPro Hero 8 Black - Авто та транспорт
Great driving. And 4:18 got me scared for a sec lol; great awareness and reaction time.
Really? If the car continue to steer right I'm not sure what would happen
Setra have always been superb. This one you're driving here really flies too 🙂
They sure do.
Thanks Eugene for another good video!! That Setra is a beast!!
4:21 nice and quick reaction
Really? What if car continue to steer?
Always love these deep low engine rumbles🎶😄

so wonderful beautiful bus and you drive the best Eugene
Such a great coach! I was able to test drive this for the US market when they were first introduced. Huge fan of the Setras! Great video!
I would have loved to drive one when they were new! Somehow, I don't suppose they were all too different, since these were so freaking smooth.
@eugew23 Absolutely! The smooth ride and suspension is simply indescribable 😁
I like how the controls are like right there in front of you you don't have to reach around or try to memorize what the buttons are at
Thank goodness that lexus realised you were in the right lane at the last moment
Yup! I was ready to go on the shoulder, but it was barely necessary.

better to be safe than sorry. that's why I never speed (more than necessary) unless i can see what's in at least 5 cars ahead
Eugene, that Setra is my favorite coach bus of all time. It sure drives good.
Agreed!

Fantastic driving, actually watching the video made me feel like I was a passenger 👍
Robbie Hagberg thanks for the heads up on the way home and I will not able to get together for the look at the house today and tomorrow could work for me
Perfect drive
It is just mind -blowing
Good job, bravo
Very good work
Direção defensiva está em dia. Parabéns.
EXELENTE VIDEO SOY NUEVO , EN VERDAD ME GUSTAN ESTOS TIPOS DE VIDEOS. SALUDOS Y BENDICIONES DESDE MEXICO
nice Setra Bus drive Video
Those buses ride nice, I’ve been on one of em before.
The 417s have independent front suspension. How do they ride and handle compared to a Prevost or MCI with a straight front axle ?
Any other big differences between a 417 and a J4500 or H3-45 ?
setra buses are very good nice driving.
So relaxing to watch aaaaaaaaah🥺
Hi Eugene what does that little button with a red light you push do??
Hi Rui, that button changes the transmission mode to "sport". It will hold gears longer for better acceleration.
TopClass, yes!!!!
gracias por compartir este vídeo
Good pro driver!
I like 2014 Setra S417 to have a Sky View Glass Roof with larger monitors, middle door with lavatory, and 3 point seat belts.
Damn i want to be a bus driver in Europe because you
Vídeo muito bom !
Very nice 👌👌
Thanks for the video, you can make a video with the function of each control.
Which do you like better, this or the MCI?
While I like the modernness of the MCI, I like the control layout and way the Setra drives better.
Loved the ride! Now back to playing Fernbus :D
Great!
Can you make a video on the controls of a bus?
A setra specifically. I have a 1997 s217 hdh and man.. the manual doesn't explain well enough.
In Europe, all buses have 62mph speed limiters. So jealous to look at your speedometer (lol)
Ah I suppose that makes sense (100kph). Here, there is no universal standard! The Setras are limited to 74mph (120kph), our MCIs are limited to 72mph (116kph), and our Gilligs (city buses) are limited to 65mph (105kph), but I've heard of other agencies limiting their Gilligs to 55mph (89kph). Interesting, huh?
@@eugew23 so interesting and so different than in Europe :)))
@@eugew23 With some agencies, mechanics decide top speeds if they think the vehicles powertrain configuration (choice of transmission and axle ratio) and default top speed will run the engine too hard. A transit bus with a 4-speed Voith and a typical short axle ratio (5.13:1) will provide decent stop and go urban performance but will make the engine run hard at high rpms on the highway, and so the agency I worked for will govern NovaLFS with 4-speed Voith transmissions at 56 mph, and the same LFS with 6-speed ZF or Allison transmissions at 65 mph. We also had Prevost motorcoaches with different combinations of axle ratios (3.81/4.10/4.30/4.56), engines (435 hp Volvo D13 and 350 or 400 hp Detroit S60) that resulted in various levels of acceleration and hill-climbing capability and cruise rpm (all were limited to 69 mph). The motorcoach with a 400 hp S60 and 4.30 or 4.56 axle ratio was a jetliner-like beast to drive, out-accelerates normal traffic when the light turns green and merges easily on highways.
@@ChillDrive The MCI 102DL3 that I drive is 75 mph (121kph).
They won’t do that where I live as the roadside tax collectors need their daily fix of revenue. They invite you to speed, then pull you over and ticket you.
The Setra drive is a full express university of Maryland's unit fleet of 511. 3.
Interesting, I had no idea that Setra did business in North America!
AWESOME sounding bus, although my heart is still with the smooth sounds of the J4500. Is the S417 TC a smaller bus? It sounds like it (can't see, is why I'm asking) :-D Great video as always, brother. :-D
They're both about the same size, full size motor coaches. I think they're both around 46 feet (~14 meters) long. Our Setras seat 56 and our MCIs seat 54, but have the optional table.
@@eugew23 Oh, great. Didn't know about the optional tables on the MCI's. Never been on a Setra so from a rider's standpoint, can't do a comparison.
You make nice video's. What cam equipment do you use?
I have been using a GoPro Hero 8 Black for a while now. Works well.
Thanks
Anybody would be able to explain why us Setra has much shorter front and rear overhangs ( in process longer wheelbase and larger turn radius)) than euro Setra? Is it about us regulations , if yes what's the underlying reason(s)? Thanks.
Efectivamente es por la regulación de 🇺🇸
Busão é bonito!!!
What's that lever on the right side of the steering wheel you keep bumping
Engine brake/retarder controls. Setras have five settings for engine brake strength.
Wow I want to drive one so bad they look very relaxing to drive
Where are you going now?
may i know the America Bus drive license, can be use for the whole life ? is there any age upper limit ? wish some bus driver can answer me, thanks !!!
I don't know if there is an age limit, but once you earn your commercial drivers license, you must also obtain a DOT physical card and maintain its validation.
Isn't the OM471 a Mercedes branded DD13?
That is correct!
Wish Scania and VOlvo also become popular. I will American manufacturers step up their game and release new buses
What’s the top speed ? In Europe all buses limited to 62 mph.
This bus was limited to 74 mph.
nic drive
Is the University gonna buy the new Mercedes Tourrider when it goes on sale?
I doubt it
I actually found a liking to this bus due to a video game. There not bad I just wish the games engines were more like the real deal itself.
4:18 quit dangerous 😮. Hope you save .
Bus down to see you next president
Just got my CDL any advice?
Congrats! Just take it slow, and leave lots of room, and have fun. Good luck!
@@eugew23 thank you! Maybe I’ll see you around, I’ll be driving in the same area :)
Montgomery county this is :D I saw the sky diving building
It looks new York or long Island or New Jersey
Your lane maintaining abilities are outstanding, I feel like to keep such a colossal machine centered you can’t trust your instincts. Maybe the height perspective adds to that feeling of being way outside of your lane when you’re in the dead middle.
Thanks - it's not easy, but it helps to look far ahead.
Which country is this
USA
👏👍
15:06 Yo Eugene what’s the stick on the right do I always wondered
On Setras, that right stick controls the strength of the retarder. There is like 4 or 5 settings and they are STRONG.
@@eugew23 thanks for tellin me I learn sum thing new everyday 👍
Daimler needs to bring the newer Setras to North America.
Would be nice, but I think Diamler/New Flyer/MCI and Setra's relationships are on the rocks and I think it is preventing Setra from bringing their 500 series products to the US.
@@eugew23 Setras 500 series would be a perfect competition to the MCIs, VanHools, and the Prevosts
Yes, but with the full windshield version
Nice Mercedes stering wheel.
I subbed
Appreciate it!
Not bad
Are you usa?
Yes
The steering wheel is exactly the same as in Mercedes and Freightliner trucks!
DAIMLER
The bus is quiet with the engine at the back
he was chocking the wheel
can you drive bus with manual transmission?
Those are a rarity in the US. I think older buses like the MCI MC9 have a five-speed manual, but pretty much all modern buses in active use are automatics. I'd love to get my hands on one, though.
That’s the same steering wheel that the freight liner cascadia use
That's because both are owned by Daimler, the Mercedes people
4:20 that Lexus...
Scary at 4:20. People don't really pay attention.
hola, si pusieras la camara un poco mas hacia arriba estaria genial, aun asi te doy like, saludos !
Hey I want to watch by the rain?
MÉXICO🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🌮
Ññññññ
imagine how this bus would sound with a 350 hp Cummins L9
I think at this point he’s sort of got tired of reading my comments so uhh
Oops.
I'm sure an L9 would sound great!
