Hi Albert. So you are the system developer AND driver for PCC. I really admire you. you got a lot of stuff at your age. keep it up man! a lot of people want to be like you. Because it needs a very unique set of skills for a person to be able to code a software and also command some half million dollars luxury motorcoaches I'm working hard finishing my study and aiming to join a local transit company as a driver. too bad being a transit driver is one of many underappreciated jobs in my country. but that's what I love doing and enjoy love your videos.. keep them coming
OOOF! Even a passenger, those directionals would drive me CRAZY!!! :-D Hey, Albert! Been enjoying your videos for quite some time. Enjoy the sounds of the Prevosts and MCI's. Even the TourRider video was great. My heart belongs to MCI though. Keep up the great stuff, my man! :-D
Albert, I'm sorry, but this video is too difficult to watch because you're wearing the camera on your head. I get that a good motorcoach operator should keep his or her head moving to see everything,( I used to drive one for a charter and tour company based in central Massachusetts, then did scheduled line work for a large company from Springfield, Ma.), but it makes for bad videos.
Yes, we have moved all 6 Prevost H3-45 buses in our fleet to Urbana! It was quite an ordeal transferring the Prevost part inventory and have run out of space in our garage as well
Wouldn't operating smaller shuttle buses on that route be less of a logistical nightmare (although you made it look so easy), or am I missing the bigger picture? You're not always going to have demure, respectful, and mindful drivers like me looking out for you, making those wide, wide turns!
Small shuttles would create more of a nightmare for our operation! Our schedules are long distance line runs (3+ hrs). Weekends tend to be sold out enough that multiple buses are required per hour as well. Small vehicles don't offer the same human capacity, much less so for luggage room. We have had smaller vehicles before, but we have almost completely phased all of them out for reasons ranging from comfort, economics, and luggage capacity. The markets we serve warrant a full size motorcoach!
I try to upload at least one per video! If not, usually members will get early access to videos before they go public. I've been quite busy this past month, so I'm quite behind on editing videos
We still have VanHool buses. I'm not fond of the CX series. They ride very rough and are prone to leaks and gaps in panels (most of my VanHool videos, you will hear whistling). The weather and roads we have in the Midwest are very rough on vehicles, so the Prevost and MCI are far superior in that regard. However, I will give credit to the CX series cabin interior product, especially in the newer models.
I always enjoy your videos, another Bus night driving video would not be bad. The Prevost H3-45 and MCI J4500 2007 are the best!
I have a couple night driving videos! I still haven't edited them yet, need to find some time to get them done
Thank you for your videos of driving new Prevost buses
Thanks for the ride Albert!😂
You're welcome! 😅

love your videos.. keep them coming
Haha, I like doing too many things 😅
Transit drivers are very important to a local community, good luck in your endeavors!
Awesome video brother
Thanks!
You welcome brother

Haha, they are a little loud! Thanks for watching 😁 MCI definitely has my heart as well, it's a solid and well designed bus
I’m from there btw love your vids man

No apology needed! I know my videos aren't for everyone, and that's okay; I just like sharing :)
Love the vids
Thanks :)
I had wondered if you be making a drive along video in one of the older Prevosts.
Now they're in Urbana, so I am able to now!
I always hated that turn at 6th & gregory when i drove the 60 foot. Tight & lots of people nearby.
It's a challenging turn to negotiate for sure!
I'm guessing Urbana depot is getting some Prevost base from there!!!!

Hello Driver.
What are some good recording devices that are inexpensive. Thanks
It's not inexpensive, but I use the Insta360 GO3 for all my POV videos. I haven't used any other POV cameras
when you're a bus

Hi! How often do you upload uninterrutped member only videos?
I try to upload at least one per video! If not, usually members will get early access to videos before they go public. I've been quite busy this past month, so I'm quite behind on editing videos
How many motor coaches are in your fleet and i love watching your videos
We have almost 50 full-size motorcoaches in our fleet!
are there still a lot of Van Hool in your fleet? what do you think of the CX series? how it drives compared to MCI or Prevost?
We still have VanHool buses. I'm not fond of the CX series. They ride very rough and are prone to leaks and gaps in panels (most of my VanHool videos, you will hear whistling). The weather and roads we have in the Midwest are very rough on vehicles, so the Prevost and MCI are far superior in that regard.

DD 60 are best engine
I love the Series 60! :)
Has PCC phased out and sold off its single axle 35' and 40' coaches
We still have two CX35 coaches in the fleet; the remainder are all 45 ft coaches
Do you like the Mercedes buses?
I do like them! :)
