2001 Thomas MVP transit

I’ve always said I’ve absolutely hated these buses but today I had the pleasure of driving a 2001 Thomas MVP transit and I loved it . Hope you all enjoy . Try not to laugh at me holding on to the side of the seat when I turn . I’m just not use to driving a transit style bus . But to say I’ve never drove one I handled it like a boss .

Yes!! Sometimes you gotta get into it and lean into!😎 I know exactly what you were trying to get it to do at 1:11😆❤️ Only real bus drivers know. This is my new favorite video on KZbin now for sure, thanks for sharing!!

@@taterjordan5628 You're welcome! I'm graduating from college this year to become a teacher and I'm looking to buy an MVP to convert into a mobile learning lab for my students. If they're ever interested in selling this one or the other one, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

These r rlly old buses, do you like them?

I would love to hear this bus run threw all of the lock up gears. Can you try to get a video of getting it up to 45-50mph?

[@taterjordan5628]

It’ll be a while before I drive that bus again but I’ll see what I can do

Is this one a handi cap!

[@taterjordan5628]

No regular size

[@thud9797]

Guess they don't teach push-pull steering here.

[@taterjordan5628]

I definitely don’t use that method . Very uncomfortable and misleading especially if you are not a transit driver . At that time I was very new to driving a transit

[@chandelure102]

the engine sounds a little off, was it replaced?. it doesnt sound deep at all.

[@taterjordan5628]

It’s a activity bus not a SCPS Bus

[@taterjordan5628]

It also only has 90,000 miles on it

[@chandelure102]

@@taterjordan5628 that's amazing but also under used though too. guess not that many field trips in the past. i was just confused to because of the air brakes. those air brakes sound like a normal school bus mvp than an activity bus.

[@taterjordan5628]

@@chandelure102 we have 4 activity buses all together. We use them equally. So that’s why the miles aren’t super high. And yes they do. It’s set up jus like a regular mvp. 95 mvp caterpillar motor . 95 gear selector . 2001 brake and accelerator.
