Inbound Peak hour under the setting sun, Brisbane

[@jasonmoore7854]

Loved the intro and outro. Some great of views of the city in the background. Just loved it.

[@busman108]

Thanks mate, will continue to do as much as I can... I work nightshift now, so starting around 4pm. Which means I can only record the first 1 or 2 trips due to sunlight

Glad too see the bus man is back

Nice one Bus Man. 50 Dollars well spent.

When I am grown up, I want to be a bus driver!!

[@TheDragonFire123]

It's never been easier, too; many operators won't even consider a non-MR licensed driver, only TFB does even bother with C classes.

[@lolmaster-qd4xw]

bus man what is the hardest bus to drive in bcc bus fleet ? i’ve heard MAN artics are hard to drive.

[@busman108]

MAN gas Artics are terrible, though Artics in general are easier to drive around corners etc. The most awkward bus to drive in the fleet at our Depot is the purple electric busses.

@@busman108I’ve heard so many drivers complain about those shitty yutongs, The BZL’s are better in so many ways!

[@lolmaster-qd4xw]

@@busman108 I didn't think that the yutongs would be harder to drive. What makes the yutongs awkward to drive ?

Can you do a video with little insight about the job ? Tips tricks and how do you remember routes when started ?

[@busman108]

I'll work on one, yes :)

[@Yitao_Su]

Hi there Bus Man, I just wondering does the company have any BYD buses in Brisbane?

[@ollie7446]

Great to see you back Bus Man! Are you looking forward to those new metro buses coming into service? Have you test driven one yet ?

[@busman108]

it's going to change a lot of the routes, many will stop at the start of the busway to reduce inner city traffic. I haven't driven one, but the test metro is at our depot and have had a look at it. I'm not keen on driving those as there will only be 2 routes, that gets boring after awhile heh.

@@busman108any tips on how to memorise routes?

[@busman108]

@@junng6848 the DCU shows the next stop, on turns down streets that are easy to go past... Write down the stop before the turn on your map (you are given all route maps). Then you just look at DCU for the stops.

What kind of card do you guys use for tap on and tap off

[@yeahno8969]

what license category do these buses get classed as? looking at getting my HR but want to get a bit of time on the MR first + license requirements delaying HR a year over MR

[@TheDragonFire123]

The basic old rigids almost certainly are just MR licensed vehicles, whereas tags are HR.

I am a sussy bussy

[@JasonLee-r5c]

mate, how many hours it take in one shift normally, and only one shift per day?

[@jamesalexander1647]

From 7 hours to 10 hours depending, most shifts are 7:36

[@busman108]

There's a few categories and shift types. Early's, Twilight's, Lates, Brokens and casual / charter shifts. Early's, Twilights and Lates are around 8 hour shifts (more or less). Broken shifts are 4ish hours in morning and the same in the afternoon with a gap in the middle (permanents are paid for that gap in the middle).
