Morning School Rush in Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop

[@kcasarez]

From my understanding, kids who need to cross the street are *supposed* to cross while the bus is still there to stop traffic. The bar on the front of the bus is to make sure the kids cross far enough out from the bus that the driver is able to see the kids, and doesn't start driving while one is still in front of the bus.

[@cityofseattleroleplay]

And the bar is there for the kids too, so they’re out further from the bus and have a wider angle to look for cars

[@smokeyace433]

I was a busy assistant and I can confirm the cross arm is to keep the kids from getting too close to the front so the driver can see them

[@smokeyace433]

Bus assistant*

[@TheMrDrMs]

Came here to say the same thing. Bar is so kids are far enough away from the front to be seen by the driver.

[@casedistorted]

As a school bus driver I can confirm. The crossbar allows the kids to know where to stand and wait for me to wave them across so they can be far enough away since kids will walk directly in front of the bus otherwise and we can't see them without looking at our crossover mirrors that show directly in front of the bus. Also you have to wait with your bus in neutral gear and keep the stop sign out so no drivers fly by, which happens often sadly. There is a button for marking on the camera timeline for people back at base in case someone does this, I blow the air horn if someone drives by the stop sign as a warning, if they keep on going then they receive a $400 ticket, though most are lucky and the camera doesn't see their plate. Need a clean license plate picture in the camera in order for the police to pursue legal action.

[@arizona7377]

The fan fiction line 😂 I can't even imagine how many times school bus drivers just think to themselves "really wish I didn't hear that"

[@TheYellowSchoolBusDude]

When I used to drive regularly, my rule was, if you wouldn't say it to or in front of your grandma, don't say it in front of me!

[@MrDaddieD]

Former school bus driver here, the crossing arm/bar is so the kids who are crossing are within the bus driver's vision. Some kids tend to cross too close and the bus driver might not be able to see them. Crossing arms are intended for conventional school buses, not flat nose aka transit style buses. But on another note, I can't wait for the Thomas Buses to come out. I drove an EFX and I want to drive it again

[@subjectc7505]

As an Ex-Highschooler, this made me laugh because our bus driver was terrible at driving 😂. I was so happy during my senior year i had early leave and didn't ride the bus home.

[@casedistorted]

Current school bus driver here, surprised you never said anything considering how lippy I've heard that high schoolers can be (though not as bad as middle schoolers). Generally have to be a good driver in order to pass the CDL B test to get your school bus license and endorsement, it is not an easy test. Have to answer about 100-150 written questions at the DMV, on top of 2+ hours of in-person testing driving, backing up, and knowing every square inch of the bus and what to look for. Though I am old now and never rode the school bus when I was a kid in the late 90's and early 2000's. By the time I rode the bus we had city metro buses for our high school.

[@subjectc7505]

@@casedistorted When I was in school, we couldn't really talk on the bus especially when covid hit but the people I rode with wasn't that bad, a few bad apples but it was pretty chilled. Other routes were pretty bad both in the morning and evening.

The front bumper swinging arm on school buses is so that kids walk in front of the bus far enough away where the bus driver can see them over the tall hood!

As a bus driver I love this so much. It's funny to watch.

[@rajullamsal1426]

By protocol, our bus drivers were required to blare their horn when someone runs their stop light. I remember one day someone ran the light, and the horn got stuck, so we had to listen to a loud bus horn for 2-3 minutes before another bus driver got out of his bus and was able to get the horn un-stuck.

[@shayneramsay1388]

its crazy seeing these buses as an Australian when I was in high school we drove 12 miles on the bus and often they were coaches like the Setra buses on here, we did have some old school buses but they were used mainly for school sports days

He actually help one of his Fellow bus drivers out when there bus Broke down. He actually drove a 1996 Bluebird School Bus and a Thomas School Bus.

When he hit the dip, everyone in the back 5 seats would literally fly up in the air a couple feet and back down. He and I laughed every time. Good times

[@nace888]

So when I play, since the game allows multiple keybinds, I bound the STOP/OVERRIDE with the door, and the crossing arm all on one key (and the door also on a separate key) so I didn't have to focus on that so much. The concept is very similar to how a bus works (big observer here, LOL) as on the older buses with the hand crank doors, the switch was inside the crank frame and when de-pressed activated the reds. Upon door closed and the switch pressed, the reds went off. I believe on the newer ones, it's similar, just not as obvious. SO, for me, I steer with my mouse, so my binds are as follows... Accelerate - W Decelerate - S Left turn signal - A Right turn signal - D Ambers - Q Doors - 1, 6, E Reds - E Crossing Arm - E Hope this helps make things a little easier for you!

[@SkittleKicksPlays]

That cross bar is a very modern feature. They were never on our busses, but our drivers just kept the lights active until we were finished crossing the road. It was not until the late 80s or 90s when the stop signs were first illuminated. I think due to the game world being European based it naturally looks more fantasy. Probably see a lot more grime and slime if it was located in NYC (think 1984 Ghostbusters)

[@tuddley]

I didn't watch the whole thing because of the game content, I did because Jeff's reactions. When he turns on his humor switch he's unstoppable, like in the MLB days.

They should implement the child checkmate system that makes you go to the back of the bus and hit a button and you are supposed to search the bus for sleeping children on the way back, maybe sometimes a kid will forget to get off the bus and you find them.

Best way i can think of explaining the payday pop ups is, think of how most games have a level up system with earning xp. But instead of leveling up in Bus Sim, you get paydays. Doesnt mean the run is over yet. I've had bus routes so long where i get 3 or 4 paydays before I finish them.

[@Armor23OnPatrol]

Flat nose school buses mostly exists in America, often called a class D or transit style school bus. It’s basically used normally for picking up and dropping off kids before and after school at certain stops on main roads. It’s very less common in Canada and we typically have class C long nose school bus. Also the crossing arm is used so kids don’t get too close to the front of the bus, where it becomes a blind spot. Some buses have it and some don’t irl. They should actually script traffic violating the bus with the flashing stop sign in game tho. It’s actually more fun to honk at the idiots passing a stopped school bus with flashing lights. I know a lot of bus drivers get more frustrated with cars passing a stopped flashing bus then people crossing the road lol

[@angelina20161]

[@CeeJai_K]

I always thought the front bar extending was to keep kids from crossing too close to the bus where the driver can’t see them. When I was in school in the 80’s most buses didn’t have them and I’ve heard of drivers running over kids as they thought all kids had finished crossing.
