Return to the MCI J4500 on a Schedule Run

[@berylwhite2983]

I enjoyed the ride tremendously. I felt like we kind of got cheated because we didn't get the thank you for choosing Peoria charter on the PA system but other than that it was a wonderful trip it was an excellent video is a wonderful way to start out my Tuesday morning. Enjoy your day your super nice guy

Oops, sorry I didn't record any announcements! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@berylwhite2983]

@@alblua You've got to understand I feel like I am a privilege customer! I think I'm a VIP on Peoria charter with a special driver. You are super

[@Uranium-238-Eater]

I noticed you carry your inspections very thoroughly, the hand pointing during the inspection and the white gloves while working is so Japanese! Chefs Kiss!

[@alblua]

That is where my inspiration for how I do things come from! :)

[@ednajohnson8771]

I love your videos on experience driving a Charter bus

[@alblua]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@jayo_z]

I miss seeing the road... but I like the sound from the back better. This was a great video!

[@alblua]

This was sort of an experiment! I may try placing a mic instead and record video from the front another time

Hi Albert, Canadian articulated city bus operator here! I've never used rain X on the wind shield before, do you find it very effective? You've made me consider buying a bottle and try it out. Thanks for the idea!

[@alblua]

Yes! It definitely helps. I always used Rain X on my own car, but this was my first time using it on a bus. There is a visible difference of water beading up and being easier to wipe off by the wipers where I applied Rain X.

Very Cool ride through the town on the J4500 Alblua👌 I really like the looks of this bus especially the camera angle on the rear wheels the rims are so super shiny clean and so is the body Super Spectacular to admire fancy bus! Do those monitors play movies and if so does the signal come from satellite or how does it work? Hope your scheduled run went smooth and had some time to stop for a good meal at the city diner🍔🍟🥤😋 Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video😊

[@alblua]

Kudos to our wash crew and maintenance team that keep our buses looking good! The monitors are connected to a DVD player or HDMI input, no satellite connection.

[@LukeoftheTauri]

Hi! I love your attention to detail!

[@alblua]

Thank you!

[@robertfinley6288]

I like the camera placement in the front. Do the same drivers drive the same line schedule every day or does different drivers drive every day?

[@alblua]

Our schedule runs have dedicated drivers that drive a designated route. During capacity increases, charter drivers will drive additional buses to boost capacity.

[@football11248]

Does this bus have 290,000 miles on it at 1:57?

[@alblua]

Close, ~250k miles on the odometer

[@christophercddelrosariocoish]

On Van Hool CX-45, you can put a camera on the window if you can change views, can you do it in your next video?

[@alblua]

I'm not sure what you mean, but this was a one time experiment recording from the back.

[@christophercddelrosariocoish]

@@alblua I was thinking rear facing camera as the front part facing the traffic

[@alblua]

I'll give it a shot!

Hey there, Albert! 👋

Hey! 👋

​@alblua Have bumming news. The Milwaukee Brewers game against the Cubs I was scheduled to go to on June 30th got canceled. 😫 I am still going to a game, though. It'll be a month later on Wednesday, July 31st against the Atlanta Braves. My buddy who was looking forward to going with me can't make it to this game unfortunately because he has to work.

[@rogerr.7228]

​@@albluaI'm still riding with the same bus company. Lamers

[@alblua]

That's a bummer! Hope you still enjoy

I like your videos but I do not like this camera placement. I would prefer if you returned to your old camera placement. I like seeing the road, not the back of seats.

[@alblua]

Noted! This was a one time experiment, don't worry the videos that come later go back to regular POV views :)
