Bus Driver: Interior Tour 2010 International CE

[@jffrocks]

A trip down memory lane for me. I was a school bus driver when I was going to college back in the late 1960's. Back then I drove a 1958 Crown Coach with a 779 cu inch Hall-Scott flat six cylinder gas engine midships under the floor. Non synchro 5 speed, no power steering, and drum air brakes. I loved driving it.

Trip down memory lane for me here. I remember back in 2012 we got a new bus on my run, 2012 IC with the newer DT engine. Boy was that a beast. I miss the old days back even just 10 years ago when the International diesels were still alive.

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

Same. Well we can thank the environmental FuCc up agency for that one.

[@yellowbusguy]

I've just come off of a 2001 IC. The 2010 is an updated version of that one. I've had no experience with the Maxxforce diesel other than riding in one. They are more smooth and quieter inside than the DT466 models. The front suspension looks different, from the little I've been able to see so far and the updated body really looks different to my eyes, especially the tall windows and high backed seats. Looking forward to driving it tomorrow.

[@hunterpaksi1207]

Who noticed this? He showed the hazards on the switch panel, but there was still the hazards button on the steering column.

[@bikeblvd]

I did

[@yellowbusguy]

There is no "park" on the transmission. You can shut the bus down in any gear and it is secured from rolling with the park brake, however it must be in "N" to be started. I just noticed the extra four way switch my self today.

[@PAPERandPENCILguy]

Awesome bus. I wish i could be riding in a CE, but for now i'm stuck in a very old freightliner/international by thomas.

[@saftlinerc2]

You said youve never drove the particular model, the IC's are cadillacs of buses. Nice smooth ride for both the passengers and driver

[@andybub45]

The school busses in our district didn't get radios until this year.

[@hey_its_jake]

Yeah, JCPS really should invest in cameras. A few of the older buses I had on route a long time ago had them, but i don't think they worked lol. I think some of the 07 Thomas's have stereo's but I don't know if they work. I know one of the ones I had before I graduated had speakers installed but no stereo.

[@shannonjackson5931]

I love buses

[@yellowbusguy]

These are equipped with the Maxxforce engines. Very smooth and quiet.

[@jffrocks]

I was young and strong. Never gave it a thought.

[@aeastman16]

In June 2006, Allison actually upgraded the automatics in the buses to 6 gears

[@aeastman16]

@Brian Presley sixth is often electronically locked out. Even the old MD3060 had a sixth gear but it had to be unlocked with Allison’s software

[@saftlinerc2]

Yea I rode a 01 CE also. The newer generation one is obviously better.

[@yellowbusguy]

We really need the cameras to keep an eye on you guys. I'd rather have a stereo than a/c.

[@yellowbusguy]

Yea, that's what it is, 6.4 liter, 200 some odd HP paired with the good 'ol Allison transmission. Haven't even heard it run yet.

[@TechOut]

Why hazards on the switches and on the steering

[@cockandballtorture5167]

I used to ride a 2010 IC CE (1007) but the driver retired, so I now ride a 2009 IC CE with a new driver

[@peterjohnson7710]

All International Engine are made by GMC. The Max Force is a Dietorit Model

[@RigsOfRodsFan]

Yeah, I like the tall windows too. Lol.. So the bus stays in "D" when it's parked? So there is two 4 way flasher switches? Wierd.

[@yellowbusguy]

I have no idea what trans it is, I haven't read the manual yet.

[@KiloByte69]

Is there a fantasy bus driver program available?

[@yellowbusguy]

It loses some of the charm when you add students and parents into the mix.

[@JordanBus-gd3ui]

Are u in Kentucky?

[@yellowbusguy]

Jordan 217 Yep

[@yellowbusguy]

I bet it was a real chore to drive!!

[@roof4216]

Nice bus

[@yellowbusguy]

Was one of my all time favorites out of all the buses I've driven. Had this one for four years.

[@roof4216]

Do you still have this bus

[@yellowbusguy]

No. I drove a '03 Freightliner for part of this year and then a '99 International followed by a '02 International. It was an interesting year.

[@roof4216]

You just got one more subscriber

[@greatlakeswi6796]

Why are there 2 4-way emergency flasher switches

[@yellowbusguy]

I have no idea. This is the only bus I've seen this feature on (2010's).

[@greatlakeswi6796]

+yellowbusguy What my guess would be is if you were at a railroad crossing, you could use the same hand for the noise kill and the hazards, since it is placed next to each other

[@dcviper985]

I once found a desiccated banana peel behind the drivers seat on a Gillig Low Floor.

[@yellowbusguy]

I found a real minnow one day.

[@michaelcousens9120]

I'm almost 14 and love buses, especially bluebird. Freightliner buses suck, there too loud and slow, I rode on a 04 Thomas when I was in NC in 2010. And it was loud and slow. Had no parking break.

[@yellowbusguy]

They all have parking brakes. The one you rode likely had hydraulic brakes, so you wouldn't have the woosh air noise you are used to hearing when a air brake bus pops the brake.

[@michaelcousens9120]

yellowbusguy true, your company doesn't have any Bluebirds? I ride a 2015 Propane Blue Bird vision Roush, it's quiet and axcelerates smoothly

[@michaelcousens9120]

and I'm in Connecticut now. We don't use the older models, we have the 2016 Saf T Liner c2, all our international buses are Cummins

[@michaelcousens9120]

but your 99 is a decent looking bus,

[@yellowbusguy]

The Bluebirds we have are 44 passenger special needs buses with chair lifts. See my video, "Hanging Out at the Bus Compound". They aren't well liked by drivers or mechanics.

[@vj3137]

Here in Ontario, there's no such thing as amber lights on a school bus.

[@northeast_rail9606]

SkyDefender that is Incorrect, There are some Buses in Canada that use the 8-ways. I think what you are talking about are the 4-ways. Okay

[@vj3137]

+The New Jersy School Bus Fanatic I was talking about Ontario, not Canada as a whole.

[@jefferywhite9910]

They are becoming more popular. A company in my area has switched their whole fleet of buses to the Thomas built, with amber and red flashing lights.

[@vj3137]

You probably live in Wisconsin or Saskatchewan.

[@jefferywhite9910]

[@TheArchDemon729]

not much of a blue interior the i remember

[@mariasimental6074]

[@jackschissler255]

I guarantee if it it has the Maxxforce Engine, IT WILL be a shop queen. (I see you in many spares) LOL. The worse POS engines they made

[@MrSuperVids]

Jack Schissler If it's MaxxForce 7, then definitely a shop queen. That engine SUCKS.

[@coreydallmeyer67]

Crap,I just bought on me of these

[@Penguincop24]

4 way flashers = hazard lights. All modern day cars have this button.
