Really cool, having lived regionally my whole life, I’ve never really considered or thought much about public transit as it doesn’t exist really outside of the cities. I mean some skeleton dysfunctional stuff exists but nothing you can really use in day to day life. Had a few trips down to Brisbane recently and I’ve really got a new appreciation for public transit. It’s a real shame it’s so bad in regional areas.
Fantastic, we are screaming for drivers at the moment :D The 40 / 50 loops just go around the inner city, there is a Southbank loop that is operated by Toowong Depot.
@@busman108 The 86 I think it is, for the for South Brisbane Loop. Assessment centre is on Monday. I'm a tad nervous haha. You've told me a few times now I should pass with flying colors. I'm remaining positive. the only thing that might set me back is being blind in the left eye. Which the recruitment team is aware of. I am keen to help the community and drive buses.
hey mate, where are your cheat sheets/ what do you use for navigation? im a driver here in Adelaide and we still use cheat sheets. im guessing you guys have gps?
When you join, you get 2 weeks route training and are given maps of all 80 + routes. We don't have GPS, but after about 4 - 6 months you know 95% of them off by heart.
@@LachieVidsTransportVlogs yeah I like the TAG's, problem is many roads and turns are to small for the tail swing. Hence why they stick with B7's and B8's
@@busman108 steering wheel logo gave that away! I have friends who work for VDI Yutong - got to see one of them deliver their display D7 to a guy from Tamworth in NSW at the Australasia Bus & Coach Expo last year

I have always wondered what is the yellow button for in-between the door buttons.
The city loop bus
This service goes past South Brisbane Station yeah, Near QPAC or did I miss that ?
I love these videos and I'm looking at Applying

I’ve been wanting to get this service with the yutongs where do I find it
Can the volume of the indicator be turned down? That would drive me nuts.
busman what is the worst bus to drive ? ive heard the MAN artics are bad but are there any other ones ?
Is it effectively one pedal driving?
Break and Accelerator, so I guess it is.
Is your driving very slow? and is it necessary to lower the bus at every stop?
40km/h is the speed limit in the city, I lower the bus out of habit in one motion
@@busman108 i see you lower the buses in other vids, so do the other buses require lowering or is it just bad habit?
New Go pro?
Yeah, finally!

Most routes have signs pointing out where to go along the way.
@@nicholasbyrne6485 they are great until some kids turn them the wrong way (happened before!)...
@@busman108 is it two weeks to learn 80+ routes?
@@paulsp2693 yeah, but you are given maps of each that you can take along with you.
How do the yutongs compare to the Volvos? Are they better to drive? I know that in G the drivers hate the MAN artics
Yeah the MAN artics are gutless wonders, the Yutongs are the quickest in the fleet.... But are not very spacious.
@@busman108 I wish BT bought more Scania's, they seem nice and all of the Hornibrook drivers really like them

@@LachieVidsTransportVlogs Subbed to your chan btw, keep up the good work :)
@@busman108 Thank you
Camera mirrors ? I see video screens looking like mirrors just like the Merc semi..
Yes, we had normal ones but they didn't give enough vision.
Is this any fun to drive?
Yutong?
Sussy bussy
Gotta be a Yutong E12?
yep

Да, странно, что мотора не слышно... Они тоже очень быстрые
What an awful indication noise to put up with
My morning bus’s indicator goes ‘beeeep, beeeep, beeeep, beeeep’ so annoying, I can hear it all the way up the back of the bus, that’s how loud it is
@@Thunderbirds404 Oh lord, I’ve never heard such thing in Perth
@@Tysxno this ain't perth, this is in Mildura (north west Victoria)
@@Thunderbirds404 Yes I know it’s not Perth…
sounds like an ATM machine but u havent heard E200/E400 MMC indicators
