It's a vary absorbing subject. The are many types of buses, many books on the subject and memorabilia too. Loved Routemasters, RTs and RFs since childhood. Attended a preservation group at from 14 years old, back in '79. The chief let me drive an RT and RF, preselect gear box. Great stuff!

A great little snapshot of a really nice piece of transportation , as a child I would look on in awe in the early 1970’s at the Louth to Grimsby bus route

I once drove a 1938 London Double Deck Bus, without having a Bus Licence. The South Australian Police wanted the Bus relocated but couldn’t find any Bus Driver to do it. I told them that I could drive the Bus, if under Police Direction. Thus I had 4 Police Officers, behind Me, downstairs. 8 Police Officers, above Me, upstairs. And 8 Officers on Police Motorcycles surrounding Me. Two weeks later, at request of Police, the Department of Motor Vehicles gave Me a Bus Licence for everything up to and including Articulated Double Deck Bending Buses.

Does this bus come with power steering or is it pure elbow grease? 😅

Pure elbow grease, strong muscles and good reactions. Great fun.

The problem with buses is there is never a bus stop where you want to start your journey and there is never a bus stop where you want to end your journey. Also they are slow, don't run often enough, hot in the summer and cold in the winter.

You must know that your complaints are grossly overstated, inaccurate, and poorly considered given this video's intended audience. For over a century, the public has found that the tremendous utility and cultural benefits of bus travel overcome your sort of grievance.

If you want to use buses regularly then move near a bus-stop.

The problem is not with the buses but the people who try and use them !
