Old video, but still quite relevant. I started driving bus in the late 70s in the Army. Later (80s & 90s), I worked for several schools on weekends driving activity buses (everything from true motor coaches to traditional yellow buses). Today, in retirement, I am again driving activities for our local school district. A couple of years ago, while on a vacation, I was sitting behind the driver on a tour bus. She was a fairly new driver (well trained, good and safe, but new). She got into a real tight situation in an area in Dallas. I could sense her panic. I calmly informed her that I was a bus driver and talked her through the situation....slow and steady. After she got through it I told her, "Good job! You have the skills, you just lack experience and the confidence that comes with it. No need to be embarrassed or feel ashamed. Just remember your training and don't let anyone rush you." She notified the company afterwards of what happened, and they reviewed the on board video. I was offered a job by the company the next day! I turned it down...I'm retired!

Driving a bus is all about timing. If you’re out of sync with timing, you will just not drive right. Timing to turn, timing to brake to a stop, if you cannot estimate time and distance, you will be forever fighting that bus.😢

Greyhound taught the 4 feet from the curb and they also taught the push-pull method of turning the steering wheel as this forced you to go slower and keep the turn tight. If you fly around the corner spinning the wheel you invariably end up wide leaving you open for a squeeze and a chargeable accident. And on the double left turn a cool thing they said about the purpose of keeping to the outisde lane is to look where you can see and block where you can't.

Good old training video. I passed the Commercial Class B with Passenger and Airbrake endorsements written/multiple choice test. This is required to the drive the VTA, Valley Transportation Authority, city bus in the region encompassing San Jose, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Campbell, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Milpitas, and the Palo Alto area. Very excited and nervous when I'll get to train behind the wheel.

Congratulations on passing the test, all the best in your career. I've been a bus driver in Canada for 13 years, it's a great career

Very true video. Knowing where your rear wheels are is very important so as to not cut corners or drive over the curb.

Something I will do on a new route is I will use google maps to size up intersections before I do the run with passengers. Anticipation, not precipitation!
