- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Part 2, a continuation of the 2020 Blue Bird Rear Engine Transit pre-trip. Take a look inside the 2020 RE transit drivers and passenger areas. Air brake safety features and functions are also demonstrated.
You really know a lot about school buses. I worked at Thomas Bus in engineering for 13 years. We really could have used somebody like you in the quality department to make sure all the buses were in proper compliance.
Thank you for your comment and kind feedback! Ooh, I think it would be very beneficial to have driver representation for feedback on the production of school busses.
I would love to see that happen and would be thrilled to take part, if ever the opportunity presented itself.

Your video are always incredibly helpful. As a trainer, I always refer and share links to your videos. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your very kind feedback, Nicholas! I’m glad to learn the video’s have been helpful for you! I enjoy sharing my passion with others and hope to spark interest with others to join our vocation. Thank you!
RECENTLY I am applying for a Shuttle Bus position at AVIS in Los Angeles Airport. I have a CDL A w/Passenger. Your video is a great refresher for me. I just wanted to say Thank you. Good Job!
Thank you for your comment and kind feedback.
Wonderful video!! Really helped me as a person wanting to be a bus driver.😉
My school bus 10 has the same emergency windows! It has 4 windows and 1 back door and 2 hatches!
Just an observation, if you start the bus without your seatbelt on. In most states it’s an automatic failure during your test. Make sure you check with your local DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES. I like your videos, they are done as one should approach the task.
To include testing, don’t rush you are in control of the pace.
Not on a closed course, in Ohio….but yes, in many other states, what you said is accurate.
I am a trainer for Kyrene School District in Arizona. You videos are great!
Thank you, Michael! Have a wonderful school year! 🚌🚌🚌
Thanks for the extra videos
Can you do a video on just the school bus brake tests? I think it would be an important thing for people to learn .
I will be working on several new videos, I will probably put that one in as well. Thank you for the suggestion, Julius.
Excelente saludos desde Colombia
Thank you...
You're welcome!
hello miss therese I'd like to see the engine all accelerated the stronger it accelerates the more it tank you bay
All Buses Should Have Back Up Alarms When In Reverse, I Don’t Know Why Not All Of Them Have This Feature.
Ii agree, though it likely has a lot to do with the cost to the district and funds available to the district.
Actually it’s a 2021 RE
I think on the transit bus like that one the bluebird, do you have much more blind spots when backing. The reason I think this is because there is no lower window because there is no emergency door in the rear unlike a conventional school bus what is a larger upper window and lower window on the rear emergency door.
With the RE transit, you need to rely heavily on your mirrors. The exit door windows on conventional and dog house Bluebird, are definitely an advantage, when doing any type of maneuvers, particularly when backing.
@@SchoolBusSass You still have quite a few blind spots do you?
With that particular type of bus, most of your blind spots are towards the rear or the bus, otherwise, you’ve got a great view from the front. I would say fewer blind spots on transits, for the most part.
@@SchoolBusSass Oh Really?
I think the Thomas C2 has huge blind spots. The connection between the windshield and where the windshield meets the drivers window, there is a metal frame, about 2.5/3 inches wide. It causes a massive blind spot. You need to really rock and roll in your drivers seat to look around before proceeding.
There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to both.
I didn't see her start up the bus and made sure the air pressure warning light went out between 60-80. And made sure the gauges went back to between 120-125 , to make sure the governor cut out.
3:00 mark a safe start is done and the air brake gauges are discussed at that time. The brake tests are conducted around the 6 minute mark.
hellooooo therese you are fantastic all accelerated I would like to hear the engine all accelerated the stronger you accelerate the more I like it very much razie hello
hello you say that you will show me the school bus all accelerated
good morning madam I would love to hear the school bus all accelerated engine the stronger it accelerates the more I love it this video and beautifull if you start the engine is start to accelerate very hard strong thanks so much you're fantastic hello
Can you do bus monitor/aid training and make a video on the same bus but in the back of the bus to the school
Are you looking for special needs aide training or general population?
Yeah
Let me know if this is what you had in mind

It is thanks!
Very good job.
Thank you 😊
for as checking your service brakes, you need to drive the bus 5 miles with your hands off the steering wheel
Idk about that
If A Bus, Has A Reverse Sound, Does It Always Have The Warning Sticker That Says It Does?
I will have to confirm, but I believe if the alarm is factory installed, the warning sticker is applied. What I’m not certain of is when the feature is added after market. I will research and post what I find out. Thank you for the great question.
Hi How are you? My name is Tim. I also hold a CDL but mine is a class A for an 18 Wheeler. I drove for 12 years. I really enjoyed your pretrip review. How long have you driven a school bus? Also you remind me of my school bus driver from my childhood. She was really nice and fun to be around. I used to chat with her on the way to and from school when I was onboard. She was driving me and other students to school and summer camp trips too. Again appreciate your video. Timothy from Southern NJ.
Good afternoon, Tim
First of all, thank you for your comment and kind feedback. Both are really appreciated. I have been driving school busses for 20 years. I started driving up near the Cleveland area, and now drive for a district between Dayton and Cincinnati, Oh. It is so good to learn that you enjoyed your school bus driver growing up and you have many fond memories to cherish. It would be my greatest joy to know that when my students are adults themselves, they look back at their time with me and feel the same way....so, kudos to your former driver, job well done! :) All the best to you, Tim!
@@SchoolBusSass Thank you again and be safe out there. I also subscribed to your channel so I rang the update bell for notifications. I look forward to more bus videos from you Therese.
There should be a couple in the coming weeks. Thanks, Tim.
@@SchoolBusSass your welcome Therese my pleasure
I wonder why most school buses don't have air conditioning? To me , it would make sense to have that. It's in all cars and trucks.
For many school districts, air conditioning is too cost prohibitive. Particularly if they have much cooler temperatures for a large portion of the year.
I know some school buses have video cameras and audio. Do you think it should be mandatory in all states to have that ?
All of our busses have multiple cameras on the bus. I don’t know of too many districts who do not have them.
I wonder what is the seating arrangement for the students for the buses for covid 19 and are they required to wear masks?
This will vary in every school district, based largely on state guidelines or mandates.
I noticed that the steering wheel is adjustable. Can you explain why? I thought it wasn't adjustable
To accommodate the vast array of drivers shapes and sizes. Many older busses did not have this feature.
If you want tons of space in a Type D, get a Blue Bird All American.
I can bearly hear her.. Video great quality though
I created a new, brakes only, video with a mic. I hope that helps.
Wait hold up so what you’re saying is that red button says will Emer
?
Are there electric school buses and if so what are the good and bad things about it?
Yes, there are electric busses out on the roads. The biggest advantages to having electric school busses, would be in fuel savings, no emissions, and ultra quiet. The downside to the, all electric bus, would be the initial purchase investment, which is almost three times more than an ICE. A full charge will only allow for about 100 miles of travel, between charging. There are likely other advantages and drawbacks, I just do not have enough experience with the electric bus to know what they might be. Blue Bird actually brought a demo bus for us to take a look at. I'm hoping I will get an opportunity to drive it...even if it is only on our lot. Talk about quiet!
What is the maximum number of people that can be on a school bus and how much does these buses weigh ?
Well, it depends on the bus. There are sever different sized busses... 65, 72,77, and 84 passenger busses. I drive a 77 passenger International IC CE. When the bus is empty, it weights about 13 tons or 26,000 lbs and is about 38 feet long. The Blue Bird RE transit, is 40ft long and up to 33,000 lbs.
If the school bus stop sign is not working, what is the backup plan for the bus driver?
If the school bus stop sign stops working after the driver leaves the bus lot, they will use their override loading lights. This is a switch that bypasses the warning lights and goes straight to red. Then, get a replacement bus ASAP . If the problem is discovered during the drivers pretrip inspection, the driver would change to an alternate bus.
you should never operate a bus if the warning lights not working. You should immediately pull over and call for assistance. Letting the stop sign come out without warning the drivers, could cause a disaster.
I Know All Buses In Your District Have The Audible Reverse Sound, Do Your Buses Have The Reverse Cameras?
Unfortunately, they do not. I’m hoping eventually backup cameras will be standard on all busses. It would just make sense and add an additional safety factor.
@@SchoolBusSass I don’t think the buses in my district to either Some of them have the back up alarms but not all of them do and I feel like all of them should have the back up alarm at least. And I agree that they should all have reverse cameras. Though, It like we have to do with the cost and what the district can afford. The cameras are probably too costly to install and repair for an entire fleet of buses for some district areas.
I find it interesting that backup cameras are standard on every car on the market, but not on school busses. That doesn’t make sense to me.
What state are you in?
I thought back up alarms were required on all school busses.
@@SchoolBusSass they should be required! ( The reverse beepers ) on all school buses! IDT I should mention my state though for the sake of my safety.
I understand
buon giorno signiora therese mi piace molto questo video però devi accelerare forte forte più forte accelera più mi piace moltissimo grazie mille sei fantastica ciao signorina therese
How many miles can a school bus go with a full tank of gas?
On average, a clean-diesel school bus can travel about 510 miles on a tank of diesel vs. only 270 miles on gasoline, based on the same standard-sized fuel tanks.
Well done
Thank you 😊
I feel that all school buses should be air conditioned . I've been on hot school buses and it is really hot inside , especially the seats.
Many districts cannot afford this feature, it is too costly for an entire fleet of buses and costly to repair .
The Service Door Closes So Fast! That Can Easily Hurt A Student! That Would Scare The Hell Out Of Me!
They do close rapidly, I’m not sure if that is something that can be adjusted or not. I prefer the air door to the electric door.
As long as you wait until all children are seated or are in their place of safety, the speed of the door closing should not be a problem.
Has covid 19 affected how school buses are inspected and are states requiring things to make sure they are safe and clean ?
States can make recommendations, but it is up to the individual school districts to make sure they create safe policies, and protocol to ensure the safety of both students and staff alike.
What type of gasoline do these buses use?
Currently, our entire fleet, is diesel. Though there are busses which use gasoline, and there are even some busses that run on propane. We actually had a few propane busses when I first started in Centerville. Diesel is currently the most efficient and cost effective fuel for school busses.
ciao signora therese mileti peccato questo video mi piaceva moltissimo solo se acceleravi molto più forte era ancora più bello vedere accendere il motore del school bus e accelerare forte forte più forte accelera più mi piace moltissimo è che dura molto molto di più grazie mille sei fantastica ciao
I will see what I can do, Cataldo.
@@SchoolBusSass buongiorno signora therese mileti mi credevo che dovevi accelerare forte forte il school bus vorrei sentire il motore tutta accelerata forte forte ma lo so che non vuoi accelerare forte forte questo video si sente poco quando stai accelerando scusami mi dispiace non ti scrivo più scusami se ti do fastidio grazie mille ciao
@@SchoolBusSass you're sorry if you make me feel the engine all accelerated the stronger
What does the yellow noise suspension button due?
Hello, Lennox
Great question! The, noise suspension switch, shuts off all heaters, fans, and defrosters. The switch is designed to be used at railroad crossings. It’s makes it much easier to hit one switch to control noise than to try turning each individual switch at every rail crossing.
@@SchoolBusSass oh cool, that is a great gadget. Now I know, thank you! Keep up the great videos!
Thank you!
Can you do a pre trip on the other kinds of busses in your fleet?
I will see what I can do. Is there a particular type of bus you are looking to see?
@@SchoolBusSass Thomas c2 and Ic re and a handicap bus
@@SchoolBusSass IC RE Please all in one video.
I will work on it.
I’ll see what I can do.
Out of all of the school buses you have drove, which is you favorite bus and why?
I am currently driving a 2017 International Conventional bus. I like how the bus handles, drives and maneuvers. This is my fourth year with this particular bus, so I am very comfortable with it. I do, however, really like the Blue Bird transit busses. I prefer the dog house engine over the RE, but both are very nice and have great turn radius's. I am not a fan of Thomas busses, though they have great mirrors. I am not a fan of the International RE...lousy mirrors and horrible turn radius!
1989 S 1800 with DT 466 Mechanical engine 250HP with air radiator shutters, low air pressure wig wags, and 5 speed manual with 2 speed axle, 10,000 front axle 21, 000 rear axle air brakes air horns, air operated service door with butterfly hood hatches, best part was spoke wheels and 2 speed axle.
Why is this test so hard ?
Try not to feel Overwhelmed by the pretrip portion of the CDL exam. A large portion of the pretrip is nothing more than repetitive phrasing. Then, once you’ve learned under the hood, much of that information is repeated on the back half of the bus.
Can you do some videos on the school bus break tests on different models of school buses that are in the fleet ? I wonder is the brake test different depending on which bus or are they all the same?
I'm not exactly sure what you are wanting to see. The emergency air brake features on air brake busses, are the same. I believe the only different type of brakes on busses would be hydraulic brakes. I do not have access to hydraulic brake busses.
@@SchoolBusSass probably a video just on the school bus brake tests .
Air brakes are air brakes the fundamentals are the same only thing different may be the dash guage on make of bus, rest is same merritor q plus brakes shoes and gunite slack adjusters and haldex, bendix, or mgm brake chambers
