Bus 16 Ride Along - 2006 Blue Bird Vision

Riding bus 16 as a sub bus in the morning. Bus 16 is currently one of our oldest buses alongside buses 17, 2132, 222686, 222716, 222746, 222766, and 222786. Bus 16 is used as both a sub bus and a field trip/sports bus, Bus 17 is used as a field trip/sports bus, and the rest are First Student sub buses. This is a nice bus, however I still prefer IC CE's. Bus 16 has been decommissioned as of July 23, 2023 and sold on August 3, 2023.

My School District Had Some Used 2006 Bluebird Visions They Was Kept As Spares Until They Retired In 2021

[@BabbaIsKool]

Oh fun, I've ridden a bus like this a few times when I Lived in GA

[@OfficialMilkyFoxChannel]

This reminds me of the first gen vision I saw not too long ago. It was pretty old.

[@YummyHappyKikiTheCat]

And I love how exterior light monitor blink while amber on I never see that before

[@leteizjordan298]

Our 2002 2003 and 2004s do the same thing but they just retired this year

[@ChrisnFugo]

First gen Vision buses are nearly 20 years old, manufactured in 2003 for the 2004 model year.

[@seanl258]

I got a question why do the warning lights on that light monitor at 2:57 blink like that it blinks differently than any other light monitor that I seen

[@bus213]

I’m guessing it’s the way the light monitor was designed.

[@MP-ph6ob]

I’ve seen light monitors that flash like that on EFXs

[@seanl258]

@@MP-ph6ob yeah I’m pretty sure it’s because it got strobe indicators for the warning lights

First Gen Visions are basically A3 FEs with noses.

Ya, even the headlights are interchangeable

It gives me A3RE vibes, lol.

At least it has the 16 lamp exterior light monitors. In my area the newer bus only have 8 lamp incandescent light monitors. Does your main bus have 16 lamp light monitor?

[@bus213]

My main bus also has a 16 lamp light monitor, albeit a different style.

Where are the other kids?

[@bus213]

I am the only student on my bus, no one else rides my bus. In all seriousness, I do not show the kids getting on or off the bus for privacy reasons.

[@coltonstigall32]

I would also take a CE over these. I don't like the hood design of the first gen Visions. The 2015-present models look better.

[@rosiexmaddiekendall293]

in my opinion, i dont like CE's. IC has never been a like for me and idk why. i like bluebird the most, but thats just my opinion.

All of the kids here in NH that ride buses can take there masks off unless your school requires them for school and on the bus.

[@hobbsfamily2705]

Where’s 3753?

[@bus213]

The driver of 3753 was absent on March 2, so for some reason they had bus 16 cover for it. As for March 3, 3753 did return that morning, however I think bus 16 didn't know about this so it came to pick me and a few other students up anyway.

BAD bus

[@daltondick5223]

That bus driver has no clue how to drive a bus properly. The way he just opens the doors while still going 30 is unacceptable. You are REQUIRED to fully stop before opening the door and starting the reds. He needs retrained or fired.
