Yea

[@Elliott__unconquerableFW]

Yes

Yep

[@michaelschindall1843]

Yes.

[@christopheralthouse6378]

Can't believe you still have 95s in service! 😍😍😍😍 Just looking at them and hearing them purr takes me right back to my elementary school days, I lived in Columbia County, FL and my regular bus was in that era, numbered D56...I miss that bus, it was fairly new at the time and just a beauty to behold...😊

[@keepontrucking9788]

Thanks for sharing the startup video, the 95 internationals were favorite brought back memories of when I use to drive school bus in 96 when they were one year old only difference is ours were all manual transmission buses with 5 speeds and 7 speeds and air brakes, and mostly DT 466 or the 444E engines They where fun to drive

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

7.3 T444E’s for days, One of my favourite engines from international

[@canpete1]

Jordan Lowe ElevaTours Canada I love them too

[@finncampeau4922]

I love how they sound!!!!!!!!!

[@lucaslex9327]

What about the VT365 that's my favorite

[@PatrickBaptist]

Yeah I love the good ol 7.3s as well, mate them to a Allison MD3060 and you can't get any better... Well add water/meth injection and a bigger turbo.

[@nowhere2471]

@@lucaslex9327 Yeah but if only their reliability was as good as their sound XD

[@newfoundrooski]

You’re so lucky to get to see all these Internationals, yet here we are hanging on by a few Thomas FS65’s.

[@FBHSswimmer2006]

Love me some 7.3L T444Es. One of the best engines to ever be built, right with the old AMC 4.0L Inline 6. The CAT C7s were alright, but I preferred its predecessor the CAT 3126. The older buses truly are "oldies but goodies". They don't make them like they use to.

[@Tiger9194]

1202, I love the startup chime

[@guitarmansegovia]

Blue Bird has an interesting start chime.

[@fordman2698]

I've never seen anything bessides Bluebird, because that's all Wasatch County would buy. Now I'm up to college at Utah State University, and they use Thomas buses run off of CNG. I'd like to ride in an International some time.

[@PatrickBaptist]

I live in an IC bus. I wouldn't have a blue bird, their customer service is beyond uncaring, after the school district gets rid of it, blu bird couldn't care less about the 2nd owner of their product. I'd go with either IC or Thomas, their products are better built anyways.

[@0312Productions]

You may have to snag me one of those “CE200” emblems off of one of those ‘04s when one retires.

[@christhelongislandbusdude]

My favorite is the 5.9 Cummins and the C7

[@EmeraldPlaysThings]

6:47 I was expecting the CAT C7 to be a bit quite because its in a relatively new bus, but no. I was seriously startled when that things started.

[@schoolbusguy4554]

Lol. The CAT's are really loud engines even from the factory they were pretty loud.

[@ag6371]

CAT C7s are larger than Cummins engines

[@moronsafetybot662]

In my area busses get replaced every 16 years, my old 2002 ic ce still worked fine but they replaced it with a 2018 ic ce with a Cummins the old one had a dt466 now the spare we have is a 2003 ce 300, some new busses are being replaced with old ones for the rest of the year, like bus 643 had a 2006 ce now the got a 2003 ce I’m not sure if the 06 broke down though,we got a few propane visions, an update bus 606 a 2005 ce broke down

[@RailfanAndrew]

can u pls do an updated version?

[@willicd102892]

Those last few 05 visions sound like they have the 00-02 cat 3126 starter from the FS-65s.

[@Bluebirdvision91]

willicd102892 AfterMarket Delco Remy starter. Not an original CAT starter.

[@BigBlockCheese]

The diesel fumes intensify

[@IllinoisElevators]

I wonder if the 1995 3800s are still here lol.

[@BusDriver71]

If all of that fleet was air brakes, it would be perfect!

[@carwashslayer4235]

You have no idea how much I love Air Brakes. The sounds are so awesome.

[@michaeljandreau7341]

I agree but hate the beeps if pressure is under the low air alarm warning when starting but like the satisfaction of governor cutoff. I love the Amtran cutoff big whoosh and the blow of air from underneath the bus unless i'm using that bus to pick up pre-school kids; they tend to get frightened by it but they all laugh when you set the brake, they like that weird sound.

[@parker3859]

I could do this all day

[@valvebread]

Note that some DTs are good at starting up

[@fnafaututorials]

This might be the best fleet ever!

[@canpete1]

Those steering wheels on the bluebird 3800s need to be washed

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Peter H doesn’t help

[@iceeyy8618]

Great video. You are actually why I started getting into buses.

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Iceeyy I really appreciate that! I’ll be uploading more videos soon!

[@allgaming4045]

Somehow this was oddly satisfying

[@GLOATINGMAPLE01]

You should put a truck stop like lot in that field

[@ag6371]

Most of the 95 buses have jackknife doors and buses from 97 onward have normal outward doors

[@arronwilliams391]

i seen a light on dash saying dont drive me today i think

[@chasefranklin568]

I’m sad that 95-44’s battery died because that bus because the DTA360s sound great.

[@Bluebirdvision91]

chase franklin check out the bus I bought. It has the mechanical dt466 and they sound exactly the same.

[@chasefranklin568]

Oh thanks for the feedback. Nice video. Loved seeing the variety of buses

[@chasefranklin568]

And plus can you do a start of all of the buses that were dead or the door was locked or it was trash infected

[@chasefranklin568]

Here’s a hint so you don’t have to rewatch the whole video: 00-65, 04-87, 00-76. I already saw 95-44 start so you don’t have to start that one. But if you don’t want to then that’s fine with me

[@ag6371]

DTA360s sound like 5.9 24V

[@MMPRBLX]

btw 2008 2009 2010 bluebird vision dashboard looks like volvo dashboard

[@JoshuaGalka]

Amazing!

[@shaynewaite5329]

what a delay on the 2008-2010 range bluebirds for everything to come on

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Shayne W Yeah. It’s a computer delay. I kinda like it. Forces drivers to wait for the computer to do its checks.

[@stix_onsticks7701]

School buses are the best

[@PatrickBaptist]

Man all those ATA545s?

[@ag6371]

The dashboards on the 1995-2000 school buses are very low as the seats are probably higher

[@shaynewaite5329]

the 05 visions don’t sound like cat starters

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Shayne W The last two visions 05-90 and 05-91 have aftermarket starters. DelcoRemy to be exact

[@shaynewaite5329]

Fredriq Craft ahhhh. they are cheap. one my my districts buses has one and it takes like 30 seconds to fire usually it takes a genuine cat 10-15

[@Bluebirdvision91]

[@shaynewaite5329]

[@fordman2698]

@@shaynewaite5329 my thoughts exactly. Also, Fredriq, what stops you from getting regular Cat starters in those busses?

Did your school district ever have any transit style school buses in the fleet? IC REs/FEs, Thomas HDX/EFX, or Bluebird All American FEs/REs?

Where the 3800 bluebrid

[@mysticcollector8258]

In my district instead of like 09-77 it’s 20339 the first three letters oddly enough being the year of the bus then the last to the driver code

[@c.m1xrr469]

mine go like this 208094 the first two digits are the year, second two are carrying capacity of the bus and the last two are like the code or order of the bus in the yard of that year model.

[@mysticcollector8258]

Ok

[@MMPRBLX]

04-81 fans and 04-86 fans sound the same I guess and here are the timeline for a quick comparison: 12:13 and 14:50

[@jackschissler255]

I noticed none of them were Air Brakes 😥. And it looks like most drivers really abused their busses.

[@Bluebirdvision91]

Jack Schissler actually. Two of these were air brake equipped. 95-44 that didn’t start and 95-43. And unfortunately yes.

[@patriciagreene7482]

Get some 2019 out there

[@SunsetChaser3]

Very true!

[@dman1908]

I’d rather have air brakes then squishy brakes (aka hydraulic brakes). Had a friend who drove for a district that had both and he was saying more of the hydraulic brakes was failing more then the air brakes. Such was brake pedal going to the floor, feels like brakes was going out, parking brake cable snapping, etc. Air brakes buses rarely had a problems with their brakes, I drove more buses with air brakes so I would prefer them over the squishy brakes lol. I have driven the swishy brakes buses a few times and wouldn’t be my first choice (and a I had the parking brake cable snap on me when I was setting it to park as well).

[@schoolbusguy4554]

Different states vary from laws. Where I live we don't require CB's or Cameras. If there is an issue the driver pulls over and whips out their phone.
