Our busses don't say next bus stop the. Rd it just says the the rd I like the bus but the thing is why put seats where wheel chairs go to sit as people can be on then a wheel chair could want to get on😮

I'm astonished by the number of bangs and rattles that you pick up on these videos? Considering the cost of these buses (models from other manufactures appear to suffer the same problems too!) it's about time the manufactures attempted to design out these irritating squeaks and rattles! Good video by the way.

the road surfaces dont help

[@markfinney4157]

True!

[@lmlmd2714]

It actually is like that on a lot of buses as well. I was without a car for a few months and used the bus every day for work and was shocked at how vehicles which costs hundreds of thousands each are shockingly put together. Leaky windows, cheap rubber sills, exposed screws and rivets all over the place, no air conditioning so everything is dripping with condensation, zero consideration given to ergonomics for passengers (doesn't look great for the drivers either). It's particularly striking when you've used buses elsewhere. I used the buses extensively in Singapore and found them to be much higher quality.

[@markfinney4157]

@@lmlmd2714 The motor industry has moved mountains to reduce NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) so today they are virtually zero rattles. The manufacturing process for buses has greatly improved, especially in terms of weight-saving but keeping the whole ensemble together as a solid unit, appears impossible due to the fabrication methods. Parts are mostly bolted together rather than welded has on truck cabs. The other issue is suspension and the costs of expensive 'air ride' systems, which would add considerable costs per unit? The long-term answer is better roads, improved structural integrity and magnetic ride fitted to all future vehicles, once a system can be supplied at realistic costs..

Is this a guided bus, or does the driver have to steer on the track-like section starting at 13:25 ?

[@jamesmoss5675]

Its guided, driver doesn't steer whilst in the busway.

I use the V1 every time I’m going to visit my grandads

I want to know how you end up selecting which bus routes you will film next. If you ever end up taking the National Express route 230 or route that would be awesome.
