That's on Hillside Avenue & 169th Street where the n22 & n24 buses stop. I know that place so well. And either one of them going to Hicksville got broken down while making it's passenger pickup. That one sucks for NICE.
i didnt see break away chains or even tiedowns (you must account for 51%of the loads weight and secure for that 51%. i also did not see any light bar on the back of the bus.. no high-vis and no gloves or boots...... this guys a danger to himself and the public
sup B Same thing. NICE just operates in certain burrows. Mainly Long Island, which actually isn't considered a burrow, but rather just a suburbs outside the city. They are mta buses, they just use a different name an logo/color scheme to differentiate the service from the normal buses within the city limits.
Zakai Williams nice bus is a private bus system ok.Common sense will tell that it is not run by mt.Mta li bus has not operated on Long Island since 2012.January 2012 nice bus started service do your research before putting out fake news loser.
Last bus I dropped like that had a neutral interlock between the drive shaft and tranny. So no disconnecting the knuckle.... Sad to see if that guy lost part of his foot is something fell off or broke! Must be safety Nike’s! Good to see him hook up the air override!! Don’t see that often. Now just need manufactures to have a light override for the lights on the rear ends!
NICE Bus always been having many breakdowns left to right and thank goodness I never rode on the Nassau Inter County Express Bus but I call it Nasty Inter County Express for getting lot of mechanical problems and issues of their buses and out of service
No safety chains, no tie downs, no towing lights, and severe lack of Personal Protective Equipment (Safety vest, steel toe boots, reflective clothing, etc.). Either this guy threw all of his training out of the window or he wasn't trained properly or given the right tools at all. Also, I find it difficult to believe that the driveshaft on this bus was pulled before he drove away in it.
What the hell, he didn't chain it down to the underreach, add breakaways, pull the drive shaft, or run lights. Just pick, supply air, and roll. Super unsafe. Hit too big of a bump and that thing could jump right off.
3:29 whoever manufactured the tow truck just slapped on a pair of identical 1999 Ford Econoline tail lights and put one upside down on top of another lol
no safety work boots, no reflective vest, no gloves, when he goes home with a splinter in his hand he'll might learn something. Well at least he stowed his gloves away after leaving them on the rear of the lift.
Spot on! I was thinking that throughout the video, then scroll down to see this as the first comment. I might sometimes handle rough wood with bare hands at home if it's not worth the time to find gloves, but this guy had gloves and was handling large boards.Lack of work boots and reflective vest are good points. I'd also add that he should wear long pants.
This isn't MTA.... Must be private bus. Also the tow truck driver who isn't professional cuz of not follow safety rules. If it's MTA. He's officially FIRED. No question about it.
No chains, no breakaway chains , no drive shaft pulled…. I hope he’s just going down the block at a very slow speed to do all that in a safer location.
the nice bus services screwed the n20 and n21 on January 17, 2016 this is what happened they made the n20 into two different bus services n20g and n20h. The n20g runs from flushing main street and great neck and the n20h ... don't care any more and the wait at great neck to go to hiskville or flushing it always feels the bus drivers are sleeping
That was nice tho is this guy going to beach or is a tow truck driver he's in shorts and tennis shoes and he didn't secure it with any safety chains either.
Wow! Looks like this dude just fired himself. Like all the comments below, complete disregard for safety! Hope he felt "so cool" hooking up so fast. What a douche...
WOW - A) most MTA tow jobs are done on OT, B) That guy worked too quickly - must have been a probie, C) because the tow jobs are done on OT, the guys ALWAYS take the time to take every safety step not only in the hook-up but prepping for traveling down the road - chains, light bar, tying up the air/electrical lines, pulling the rear axles and above all, they NEVER wear shorts & SNEAKERS on a job. Just that cracked 4X4 would have stopped the job until another piece was brought to the site. D) they drive slow! Yup, they sure do - that's 35 tons behind them. They don't want any surprises jumping out in front of them a.k.a bicyclists, pedestrians, etc., etc. Many people say these "SAFE" guys "milk the job" because their on OT, BUT you'll never see any of them get hurt or an UNSECURE/ RUNAWAY bus. Their slow, methodical and above all - SAFE!!
That doesn't wash. If a vehicle is using a petroleum product to power the vehicle, no hazmat placard is required. As a truck drive in my 19th year and having a hazmat and tanker endorsement on my license, I have never heard of such. Also, many Class 8 trucks are now fitted with very large CNG tanks behind the cab to power the vehicle and none I have noticed have any hazmat placard on them. Also, since this bus is displaying hazmat placards, the driver is required to have the hazmat endorsement on their license. Your statement would also preclude any diesel fuel truck from being placarded just for carrying their fuel.
I work for the transit union In Buffalo and notices that too. I always chain and fold the stinger to hold tension. Those little pegs cam slip out on a decent bump
During car free day on Sept 22nd, I boarded 12:30pm n72 Hempstead Bus and bus was 10 minutes late at first stop, Conklin St/Route 110 and female driver saw the wheelchair passenger, but she had to stop short because trailer truck almost made her miss bus stop, but she got it. Soon as I saw wheelchair, I lifted up the disable seat because two of us were only on the bus. And she told the wheelchair passenger she never secure. I help her little from watching proffessional MTA and Bee-Line drivers securing wheelchair.

Worst bus service ever in years! NICE really sucks when these "painted over buses" on the 1826 & these people are towing this piece of garbage & Ed Mangano runs the crap company. Broken down 24-7-365 days a year. Hot & cold, rain & snow. Where everything goes wrong, those NICE buses won't last that long. Orion buses sounded like crap & I remember riding number 1800 on the n23 bus to Manorhaven. Thanks Ed, you really did a number on those former MTA buses & now you named yourself "nice" & the drivers that I rode "aren't so nice at all!" Maintenance crews are short & the company didn't get enough funding since the hostile takeover. Nassau County is fuming mad already & I was talking to some riders & quote: "Ed Mangano, executive of Nassau County gots to go!"
you are right the n.i.c.e. bus company is the worst bus service is New York history, when it was mta long island bus it was the best service you could asked for but then came 2013 and things happen and you know, that NICE Bus company sucks
Marcella C I do remember what was going on with "n.i.c.e." (nassau inter-county express) & the company itself & they hire so many drivers & they do not know the area & location so well. And when I paid the fare & the Metrocard said "read error" because the machine wasn't working right. And worse of all, buses break down & left the customers stranded in the middle of bus stops, then a bus driver takes it out on everybody & gets mad for no reason whatsoever. They need to be fired & Ed Mangano impeached as the county executive too.
The buses are not crap, the people that operate these buses are garbage. The maintenance that supposed to take care of these buses, are lazy bums getting paid to poorly maintain these cool buses.
+Afra Riley Yeah, especially when buses break down & look at the people who done poorly on maintenance those former MTA Long Island Buses & here's the real problem is that we already lost a lot of former bus drivers & the people who done a lot of work of buses are out & maybe retired. Since the hostile takeover began, MTA Bus who got the drivers who was from the College Point Depot did cover the bus routes while a major overhaul was underway, the whole system was in shambles & the takeover was so bad & new drivers doesn't seem to follow the former MTA Long Island Bus routes & here's the dumbest part is that the drivers are asking & telling the customers about "what should I go or where to turn" so these are the newest drivers who badly trained & doesn't know what direction they're going. And mostly the bus drivers are giving the customers the sarcastic & the meanest attitude that every bus rider really hate & I rode with the buses for more than 30 years. More problems on it's way.
+Rein Negroni Well they need to get reliable workers to operate these buses properly. Westchester county bee line , they keep their buses in tip top shape. I remember when Queens surface, when they were in service, they kept their buses horrible conditions at that time when they were in service.
I'm very disapointed 'cause he is not barefoot, shirtless and using only a speedo. It seams it will be the next step in "HIGH STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONALISM TOWING BUSES"
I've towed a million vehicles, although never a bus. I did 99% of them in shorts, and many in sandals, but I always had my safety vest on... I can't understand why anyone would work in traffic without one.... [EDIT: no safety chains? must be nice. DOT here would eat your firstborn if they caught you doing that.... and what about pulling the drive-shaft? are transmissions that cheap?]
![Rob49 - On Dat Money (with Cardi B) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/fTFS58mHJh8/mqdefault.jpg)
No safety chains , no tag lights , no gloves , and I can’t speak on the drive line could be front wheel drive . But damn lol
they're so used to breaking down that the tow men don't even care anymore lol
No chains no safety chains no light bar
He didn’t put his safety chain out highly dangerous
No chains anywhere, wow
I actually didn't recognize it but the place where this video is being filmed is a few blocks away from my home. That is so damn cool.

This is not a MTA. bus. This is a NICE bus. MTA has their own tow trucks and workers to tow
sup B Same thing. NICE just operates in certain burrows. Mainly Long Island, which actually isn't considered a burrow, but rather just a suburbs outside the city.

who cares :) right ?
NICE Bus always been having many breakdowns left to right and thank goodness I never rode on the Nassau Inter County Express Bus but I call it Nasty Inter County Express for getting lot of mechanical problems and issues of their buses and out of service
Correction: it’s NICE bus
I'm afraid the drive shaft will need to be removed, the transmission will fry!
Or axle shafts if the driveshaft can’t be removed.
10 miles max at 45 mph is about all you'll get.
no safety anything while towing and securing the bus lol no tow lights not one chain
No safety chains, no tie downs, no towing lights, and severe lack of Personal Protective Equipment (Safety vest, steel toe boots, reflective clothing, etc.). Either this guy threw all of his training out of the window or he wasn't trained properly or given the right tools at all. Also, I find it difficult to believe that the driveshaft on this bus was pulled before he drove away in it.
yes indeed
Nice 9055 but no drive line no lights?
Another Prime Example that NICE is anything but NICE.
That's a Nice Bus
title of the video couldn't be more misleading. Not a nycta bus or towtruck.
What the hell, he didn't chain it down to the underreach, add breakaways, pull the drive shaft, or run lights. Just pick, supply air, and roll. Super unsafe. Hit too big of a bump and that thing could jump right off.
absolutely!
Exactly, towing and recovery veterans like Ron Pratt would probably be fuming with rage if you showed them this video
Not to mention his steel cap boots and high visibility clothing
3:29 whoever manufactured the tow truck just slapped on a pair of identical 1999 Ford Econoline tail lights and put one upside down on top of another lol
Lol
1993*
what about the breakaway chains
wow nothing done right that guy wouldnt be working for me
That is Nassau county bus oporations
where is the bike rack all busses in so cal have them
by the looks he even missed the correct towing points
Perfect 👍
Supreme performence
Nice Bus 1826 Break Down
Tow Truck
Nice Nassau inter county Express
Long island tow company.. nuff said. Most companies are unprofessional on long island. Wish the NYS police pressure them more.
Was it 169st Jamaica
I gotta be “that one” that says something where the trolls start 😂. LOOKS LIKE SWIFT AT ITS FINEST IN THEIR NEW DIVISION 😝
this is nice bus, not the mta
no safety work boots, no reflective vest, no gloves, when he goes home with a splinter in his hand he'll might learn something.
Well at least he stowed his gloves away after leaving them on the rear of the lift.
true
no budget for buying safety protection

not to forget not using any sort of tie downs or safety chains.
Can afford a $100k truck but not 50 bucks in safety gear? right.
there's a difference with the MTA and nice this is nice bus
Lots of passengers still don't know NICE Bus is not part of MTA.
Impressive.
Nice=Not The Bus I see everyday
that is not NYCT bus that is nice bus
That is not a MTA Bus, that's a NICE bus. BIG difference. Other than that the wrecker is a common sight with NICE
David Pujadas all under the same umbrella. MTA
@@Ant-mj9wf wrong. NICE is owned by transdev. MTA is part of NYS
@@Ant-mj9wf No it isnt
Well that’s a rare site to see
This isn't MTA.... Must be private bus. Also the tow truck driver who isn't professional cuz of not follow safety rules. If it's MTA. He's officially FIRED. No question about it.
Dood That's No Private Bus That's A Nassau County Public Bus
@@Ray-wd6qt it's a private company. Public transit
Nice.. Long Island bus
No chains, no breakaway chains , no drive shaft pulled…. I hope he’s just going down the block at a very slow speed to do all that in a safer location.
Its funny how much is needed to tow a small bus in the US.
Never knew those bus were FWD.
I don't think it is
Where’s someone like Ron Pratt when you need him? 😐
who knows
That compartment he opened and plugged into taps to the buses signal system including four way flashers that were working.
It was for air not lights
*How to repo a bus*
DAMN

no chains or tiedowns? neither a light bar.. wauw. unsafe as F
This is the Best Tow service In the universe
يبي
Are you kidding me??? all the other comments pointed out the tow operator just screwed up considerably in numerous different ways.
WHERE IS THE SAFTY ON THAT GUY? DIDNT USE THE GLOBS, AND THE BOOTS? THE WORK JAMPER OR CLOTH , THE GLASSES... VERY VERY BAD....
That was nice tho is this guy going to beach or is a tow truck driver he's in shorts and tennis shoes and he didn't secure it with any safety chains either.
Wow! Looks like this dude just fired himself. Like all the comments below, complete disregard for safety! Hope he felt "so cool" hooking up so fast. What a douche...

isNT mta its transdev a private company
this is NICE bus, under transdev
Looks like jhon cena brother.
No safety chains? Where is the DOT?
I'm trying to figure out why the bus has a hazmat placard on the front.
Unit is Propane powered bus why there a sort of hazmat logo on front .
That doesn't wash. If a vehicle is using a petroleum product to power the vehicle, no hazmat placard is required. As a truck drive in my 19th year and having a hazmat and tanker endorsement on my license, I have never heard of such.

And it’s not the UN number for propane on that placard. Maybe LNG?
lems18902 nail it .. UN 1971 Natural gaz red sticker
This bus is powered by Natural Gas. That's why
Sooo.....the front bumper of the bus and that power cable are gonna hold all the dead weight of the rest of the bus? OK then....
not mta nice.. but dang they dont have to use chains?
BusTV Chan nice dont even maintain their buses
I work for the transit union In Buffalo and notices that too. I always chain and fold the stinger to hold tension. Those little pegs cam slip out on a decent bump
