✓ BUS DRIVER'S VIEW LONDON ROUTE 3

[@liamkennedy8864]

Respect to the guy at 3:25 who greeted the driver with a smile

[@0210mick]

Should be normal

[@SykeMediaTV]

THANK YOU DRIVER .. just thought I would say it, as none of your passengers did!

[@kieran6057]

usually you say it on the way off

[@IslamIsPeaceful786]

@Carlos Santos Roque you don't get that.. They are all grumpy and ungrateful

[@anonymousdoe3755]

where i live in the us lots of people take buses also a lot of drug addicts ride the bus and do drugs on the bus. everyone of them says thank u including the drug addicts getting off the bus

[@coenvanvenrooij5996]

I'm a dutch busdriver and this is fun too watch, a bus on the left side off the road.

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

Excellent driving. Thank you for the ride

[@joshuahalla.k.a.controlla6333]

Great video.☺️ I love these buses, they are one of my most favourite buses in the world especially the Voith Gearbox version of this bus.☺️

[@L1am4728]

Such a good memory the old buses 😢

[@davidmansell6461]

As an ex bus driver in Cardiff, I always tried to give the passengers a smile and a cheery hello, some responded but most ignored me, as if I was a mechanical part of the bus.

[@thatbusdriverguy4182]

I think some passenger’s not use to bus driver speaking

[@innfield8836]

Best not to get involved with them.

[@0210mick]

I used to do this but switched to only saying hello if the passenger starts

[@franmartinez774]

I didn't know the bus CCTV records audio? Great video!

[@TheCaterhamBusGuys]

i miss alx 400s

[@GaryHayward]

So who didn't jump the video forward but waited the five minutes with the bus? 12:40 Watching the traffic going by and listening to the indicator ticking had me all chilled out.

[@pizzasubs]

think I was advised that when he made that stop at around the 12:17 mark, he advised the passengers that he had to wait there for around 5 or so, and that was because they try to arrive at all the stops within a certain time, no earlier or later, right????

[@richardgeorge8612]

I worked several London us routes in the 1990s no's 13 205 7 292 114 H18 H13 and a few more back then we didn't have screens at BTS in Borehamwood and London Soverign as it became then moved to Edgeware. Personally I felt that the publics reaction to the screen being fitted to away any interaction between the driver and the passengers

[@itsshalevfromtaxidashcamer9390]

I really want to ride red buses in London! Perfect driving! 👍😉

[@MrChoycey2a]

Good video as I just got thru with abellio in battersea and will possibly drive the 3 or 159 route as those I know

[@robhines4537]

Route 3 has used the Boris buses for the last 18months or so, becomes N3 after midnight running to Bromley North

[@chermeups]

Idk i love the sound of bus riding. It makes me miss the trip

[@tranlife]

perfect idea, to film bus route!

[@sonuchadalavada5193]

Those narrow roads give me so much anxiety

[@munaali4119]

You can come oscr Friday evening 😊

good driver thank you soo much

[@roIlercoaster]

i score my bus 410! at 9:99

[@busdriver3978]

Very cool

[@AndrewJackson-vl6ue]

I drive a bus in Canada and our fare evasion is really bad. I've watched about 3 of your videos and not once did someone ask for a free ride. Do you guys in London have to deal with that at all.

[@Lifereportage]

+Andrew Jackson yes we do, but many drivers choose not to bother in order to have a better life. Occasionally you get pulled in by the garage manager for not checking, but if you do check, you get in trouble on a daily basis, which means stop the bus and call the police and then you get pulled in anyway. The authorities want the busses to keep rolling, but they will blame it on the drivers if they're not collecting fares. It's very unfair world.

[@andyo6713]

Depends where you are i think, in York its pretty smooth going, hardly any trouble hardly any fare evaders

[@thatbusdriverguy4182]

Nice old bus

[@Firewertyhn6817]

nice graphics! like a next-gen!

[@pengting1003]

Brummiewellington dumbass it’s a joke

[@pizzasubs]

gussing that at that one stop where he said he had the hold the bus there for about 5 or so was because he is required to be at each stop at a certain time, no earlier or later and the next stop after the one where he held the bus he was going to be early for, is that about right?

[@terry141186]

Correct running early is an absolute no no. There's hundreds of reasons for being late absolutely zero for running early. They are strict with it where I drive too.

[@pizzasubs]

@@terry141186 Totally understand what you are talking about, Dont know if they have them there but for our bus service, at every one of the bus stops they have a placard saying the times that the bus is supposed to be there at the bus stop, and like you said, the goal for our bus service is to be there at the stops right at the times that are listed on the placards or whatever they are called, no later and hopefully no earlier.....

[@terry141186]

@@pizzasubs yeah we have real time displays on every stop and all buses are tracked via gps and send live times to them.

[@evangelizarepreciso8855]

Good morning people here in Brazil stand the arm up to stop the bus (this movement is used to indication to the driver ) but i've dont seen no indication of passengers . Need you to stop on all bus stops ?

[@Lifereportage]

If there are people waiting, then you must stop. New rule in London.

[@pizzasubs]

Happen to know why around the 14:00 mark or so that he was advised to hold the bus at that one stop for that 5 minutes or so ???

[@dsugamer5415]

Andrew Silva bus might’ve been early.

[@Lifereportage]

Buses run on a timetable and if a bus is running early, it must wait in order to leave an equal space between the bus in front and the bus begins, so that people don’t wait forever at bus stops. For example, let’s say that a particular bus runs every 15 minutes. The bus of 8:00 is on time, the bus of 8:30 is also on time, but the bus of 8:15 is running 10 minutes early, which means that it shows up at 8:05. At this point between 8:05 and 8:30 there are no buses. The situation gets even worse if the bus of 8:30 runs late, which happens more often than not due to traffic. For this reason buses that run more than 2.5 minutes early are heavily penalised by TfL (Transport for London) with a fine of £100 per minute. Hope this helps:-)

[@metroman5587]

@@Lifereportage But as I am assuming the 3 is a high frequency route, isn't it meant to be run by frequency and not by timetable?

[@canman5060]

The fare was 22p during off peak in 1978/1979.

[@EnviroEnviro]

so he spelt crystal wrong then

[@mindyabiznessthatsalljustm8134]

This is great! Just one thing...are there no blinker indicators on the dash?

[@lennoncroucher6960]

Classic Shoeplay there are just very hard to see because of the lighting

[@forevercomputing]

No idea what a blinker is, you will get information as to what your vehicle is doing. Lights, full beam, air pressure for every tank, fog lights, signal switch, hazard switch. Modern ones may display voltage and also display vehicle height if the bus needs to be lowered.

[@scorpionwolf9729]

Ciao, video interessante. Sei con l'Arriva? Per diventare autisti di bus a Londra la selezione è molto rigida oppure è una cosa fattibile?

+Giando Menico Ce sempre bisognio di autisti di bus a Londra, bisgonia avere 18 anni, e essere ottimo a guidare, meno di 114kg. Poi, ti insegiano loro come guidare, ma per Londra bisognia anche essere bravi con le persone

[@gabrielhessayon3957]

+Giando Menico No, la linea 3 è gestita dall'Abellio però per guidare un autobus dovrai avere più di 18 anni ed avere una valida patente classe D. Poi, li ti insegneranno a guidare

I almost sat through that 5 minute stop. I'm not very smart.

[@robhines4537]

Is he checking his headway? Seems to be driving a bit too fast?

[@kd84afc]

That's why his going fast lol, Gotta keep that bus icon in the middle, Slow driver usually creates the gap they don't want and causes the driver to rush to maintain the headway, And when I was TFL driver that was my biggest concern, It the system is extremely flawd.

Are buses manual or automatic?

[@theexperiencer6604]

All school buses are manual when driven by school bus drivers. Depending on what country you're driving a public bus in, it will either be manual or automatic. They would make it automatic so that the driver can focus on the road or manual to put more stress on the driver :/.

[@forevercomputing]

If it's a service bus going around the town, or like a double decker like this, it's auto. Coaches for long trips are manual.

[@denismaftei691]

somebody know how much km per hour did he go? 10q
