@42luke93 for me, the RTS was the first power steering bus I drove. So it surely didn't feel like one of the older GMCs, but it didn't feel that cheap.
Those GMC coaches were the best transit buses ever built. What a travesty that they stopped making them, at the same time that GM stopped making motor homes. With the larger wheels, padded seats, power steering and great visibility, it was a pleasure to drive them every day. Then we had the advent of crap Canadian Flyer buses, with their low floor height, choppy ride and hard as nails seats that were always too tall, and a smooth ride became a thing of the past. Eventually, in the recent years, Edmonton has seen fit to provide air conditioning for the drivers, something that was done decades too late. Other municipalities had been on the ball and provided modern conveniences much earlier.
The buses in the facility are serviced by mechanics and are completely safe and following inspection guidelines of the NSC... So drivers only have to do a quick look
@@levyan4718don’t believe that, I picked up a bus after the previous driver supposedly did their post trip, and then it went into the service lane where a technician was suppose to do an inspection too, and then it comes to me. Somehow, they missed both steer tires with wire exposed, which wouldn’t be caught had I not done a proper inspection.
random question? does anyone know what style farebox was in the bus in this video. My local transit company used them right up until a few years ago and then went with a smaller older looking farebox.
The dangerous driver was hilarious!
Proper attitude, makes all the differences. Noted❤
I drove a city bus for 15 years from 1975 to 1990. I drove that same style bus.
did you ever drive the newer RTS models?
@42luke93 yes. I drove the RTS models.

I heard RTS was cheaper feeling to some drivers that commented. Not sure if this was true for all drivers.

Also, "Do an outside inspection of the vehicle" guy promptly fast walks the whole bus in 10 seconds. "LOOKS SAFE"

That looks like a "Duncan drop box." We used the same type of farebox at Golden Gate Transit when I drove there.
why aren't these guys wearing hats?
This is so old damn

Distracted driver looks like David Suzuki
the bus driver was a transit driving instructor at that time.
BUDDY DOESNT HAVE A VEST!
He's indoors!!!
The lady bus driver is cute.
That’s Linda
Looks just like Lynda Carter. Even the glasses remind me of the kind Diana Prince wore on Wonder Woman.
