the big left pedal is the brake !!! and the right is the accelerater !

Solaris is Polish manufacturer and trademark, and that dachshund is sign for whole Urbino series.

So weird to see buses I've been using my whole life and have taken for granted (mostly the Solaris) seen as something special

The Iveco Crossway at 5:50 is from Brno's public transport system. It's specifically rigged out for the route to the city's airport, hence the luggage racks you saw in it.

I used to work for the local bus company here in Auckland for 20 years in the workshops and can tell you the 'bendy' buses are the easiest to drive and manoeuvre around the streets. The 'main' section has a short wheel base and the trailers have a steering axle that tracks the driving wheels, so they corner really well. (Unless it's a 'pusher', engine in the trailer, which we never used) That small pedal on the right is the gas, the long floor mounted pedal to the left is the air brakes. All vehicles have right hand gas pedals. Air brake vehicles don't require a "Park" on the transmission as air brakes are fail-safe (they require positive air pressure to release).

The trolleybus is made in cooperation between Solaris (Poland) which makes the mechanical part and Škoda (Plzeň, Czechia; this is a separate company that makes trams and trains, not the VW-owned one making cars) which provides the electric drivetrain. SOR is also Czech-based (Libchavy) bus company making mostly city buses. And this Iveco most likely comes from the Iveco's Czech plant, former Karosa (Vysoké Mýto). That's what you get when you check a video from Brno's public transport company's garage. :)

The pedal layout is normal. Right pedal gas left pedal brake. When I was a bus driver I preferred the bendy bus over the normal one. It was more fun to drive. Greeting from Romania 🇷🇴

The Mercedes bus has gone into as the eCitaro, not quite in the form presented but close. My town has placed a big order for them.

3:48 --> Try OMSI 2 🙂

The right pedal is the gas, it's just a different pedal suspension method (common in cars here). There are other layouts as well. I've always preferred driving the artics, I don't know why. Yes, they take some practice, but somehow the driveability is better than a solo/classic/rigid (depending on how we call it). Seeing in the mirror the back nicely snug against a curb in a corner is so satisfying 😃

5:08 These are test connections for the compressed air system/brake. 5:13 That's a battery disconnect switch on the left and a military jump start socket on the right. Easier than pulling out the battery drawer and using the usual clamps. 9:10 This is the exhaust with diesel particulate filter and catalytic converter with the injection for AdBlue. For you I think it's called Diesel Exaust Fluid.

I moved to the city of Portsmouth in the UK 14 years ago and was excited to see the “HoverBus” on the bus timetable. It was the courtesy bus to the hovercraft terminal at the seaport!

Solaris a famous Polish scifi novel by Stanislav Lem.

Hi' Your first photo is from our garage!!!

You should check out the new mega-bus that's being introduced in Prague and Bratislava: the Škoda-Solaris 24m (or Škoda 38 Tr). It's an absolute beast od a double-bendy bus!

1:24 Solaris is a Polish Brand that was some time ago (just couple of years ago, when Solaris already had a large market share) sold to Spanish consortium CAF. But the Main HQ and Factory and design offices are still in Poland. The bus on the video is Solaris Urbino gen. 4 18 meter version. Solaris makes Diesel, Hybrid, Full Ev and Hydrogen Busses. So there are multiple configurations for Urbino series. For internal Combustion engines multiple units from diferent makers are used. Urbino series uses engines from MAN, DAF, Iveco and Cummins (Cummins are most popular in CNG models). The range of power is from 228 KW (310 HP) to 271 KW (368HP). Also the Urbino Series has 9,12,15 and 18 meter versions. The one from the Video looks like basic spec for gen 4 12:06 First phone to have wireless charging was Nokia 920, it was relesed to market in september 2012. As for car google says the first car to have it for phones was 2013 Toyota Avalon

12:06 Nokia Lumia 920 had wireless charging, and that was released in 2012, so at least 12 years ago

Something I saw here in the Netherlands. A bus driving where the mirror was missing (I only saw one side). I thought: "Well, shouldn't he be fixed first?". But then I paid attention, and all the new buses were driving without mirrors. They use camera's instead. It narrows the blind spots, as well as a decrease in the need for fixes. Mirrors, being the one thing sticking out, are just more susceptible to damage.

The second one is for airport duty, hence the cargo space for luggage.

SOR is Czech manufacturer actually made 10min from me in small village Libchavy (SOR Libchavy)

The red + white design is traditional, we had it like that even before the trams became electric. (Yep, horse pulled wagon on rails were the thing for public transport)

14:10 "random design feature" That is the cover for the engine bay. Most european low floor bus have the engine in the far back on the left side.

Those extended mirrors on the SOR should become standard features for all oversized vehicles worldwide. They allow for full view both to the side as well as to the front of the vehicle. This is a safety feature when small kids walk or run in front of the bus. If they run immediately in front of the bumper they can vanish in a blind angle for the driver. Those mirrors have two angles of view, one of which shows the immediate front of the vehicle. Most modern European busses offer a lowering, tilting suspension that lowers the entry side to make it easier to enter for wheelchairs or parents with strollers. They can lower and tilt the whole bus body almost completely to the height of the curbs. Under the center door there are often extendable platforms for wheelchair users. Obviously there are specific spots for wheelchairs to occupy, which have to be vacated if occupied by non-handicapped people.

Yes, the red buses and a trolleybus were in Brno CZ and I even recognized the places they filmed them. The asymetric rear end is quite common on city buses. They often have the engine stuffed into as little space as possible in the left rear conrner on the floor of the bus. Then is some they create a shaft on top of the engine for the radiator, the exhaust system and such so you have a corner with no windows on the rear left. What it looks like from the inside you can see around 3:20.

The biggest problem with that future bus concept is that it's passenger capacity seems to be about a fifth of a regular bus of the same size. Also, asymmetric back sides are common, that's where they stuff the engine and related stuff - vertically.

In my city, Varna, Bulgaria we have same Solaris buses, and some fully electric.

The Iveco Crossway is for more rural service, their city bus would be the Urbanway (and in fact has an asymmetrical rear, as the engine sits upright in the corner). Those rural busses are only low-floor until the middle door (usually marketed as "low entry"), allowing for more powerful and robust engines and are much cheaper to build. And being cheap was the key to success for Iveco to almost dominating this market segment for a while (however the new MAN Lion's Intercity LE also sells like hot bread now…). The "Future Bus" looks like an eCitaro with fancy (but not very space efficient) interior.

Those Solaris buses are produced in Poland. It's a private company based close to a city of Poznań.

the new ones from Brussels (STIB) even have leather on the seats ! they're Volvo, and honestly they're the best ones I've ever been in - so are the new metros and trams ! they look even better than the ones shown in the videos (except the concept that will never make it into production)

Different rear designs if the engine is placed vertically (like the Solaris) or horisontal with a full row of seats above.

The second bus in vid is airport line bus in Brno, thats why there is luggage holders inside

Cool. first peak and it is the urban buses from my city. it has on side DPMB whitch stands for Dopravní Podnik Města Brna / Transport Enterprise of the City of Brno.

Fun fact about that dog. It's a dachshund and it symbolises that the bus is low floor. Many polish cities (Solaris is a polish company) have some regional symbol on the dog, like a traditional hat. Also if the bus is electric then the dog has a power cord with a plug for the tail

first bus was solaris made in poland. Busses can have different type of seats, with different colors, they all have ability to bend, ,but if person in wheelchair driver will come out and deploy bridge, very nice driving, ac at summer in all bus, heating at frozen winter for passengers, also usb charging points are ussual, so passenger can charge its phone, payment ussually installed by 3 party are basically either with card of city where you p[lace money for tickets or you can have phone and pay from phone. there is different layouts inside some can have bicycle space, and for wheelchair spot as standart. also there is internet wifi hotspot in busses. Thats similar solaris drives in my city. but other buses also , colors outside ussually used for stickers as commercial, also inside there can be screens with bus stops multiple variations.. city decides. those which are for winter you may see outside elements a must for winter near tyre arcs and so on, as snow can here become issue, what happens than it freezes -35 dgrees and even -20, than it gets snow, gets ice again melting again frost and so on. near arc starts to develop ice snow much solid like rock, ussually on cars you go and kick with leg to get rid of it as its starts eating tyres. btw they are fast and very nice to drive. they ussually have DNR. driver never touch basically he clicks D and it drives than he stops he doesnt need to do anything. That button N is for probably towing if it brakes. Also many i saw now have sorta hybrid , than they stop at red engine shuts off, seen those. Busses which you see with huge antenas on top are trolibuses. they are driven only by electricity only. there is power lines above where they need to connect, very quet only electric engine sound which is actually nice sound on those. better than diesel sound. Trolibusses came from soviet unoin even :) thats howe old they are, basically eastern europe was using ewlectric buss for ages ahead of time. today busses loosing driver autonomous already released by volvo for testing

A major reason why US Buses tends to have only 2 doors: There are always some people that try to sneak via the back doors into the bus without paying. 🙄 Seattle (King County Metro)has some Rapid Transit Bus Lines that feature up to 4 doors for faster on/offloading and you are actually encouraged to enter via the backdoor as well, provided you have a ticket. These buses also had frequent Fare Enforcement people checking tickets, but due to complaints that "the poorest keep getting fined" the Enforcement got dialed down... In the Hamburg (Germany) Metro area, one gets on/off buses/trains/ferries totally without checkpoints - an honor based system that would never work in the USA 😂 (Though in Hamburg there are Fare Enforcement Officers too, often not in a Uniform, and if you get caught without valid Ticket, the fine is hefty. If you are caught a 3rd time, you go to Jail! 😅)

yes, and Škoda also manufactures trams

4:16 :)))))) LOL Of course that is the accelerator on the right side and that big pedal is the brake. Most of the buses has no clutch and has automatic transmission. Those coach buses that runs on hilly terrain has manual trasmission, because it is more important to control the torque there.

"But the roads in Europe are so small" Amazing isn't it? These memes never die.

anecdote from my life that might interest you! I left a post on your video aboutUS/Canada busses a while ago about the "modern" technology from the 70s that we used. I did my apprenticeship as a truck/bus mechanic in the 80s when the 70s busses were being phased out because of their age, and the switch from the expensive and complicated MAN "pulling" busses that we used to the "cheaper" pushing ones, that we still use today, led to very expensive damage in city traffic, because the bus drivers were used to the "pulling trailer config" that following the path of the "tractor" through the steered rear axle and by switching to the new busses where the driven last axle has no steering that "pushed the entire unit" the unsteered drive axle did not follow the "tractor" in the curve. The "long-established" bus drivers had to learn to go around the curves further than usual because the "trailer" did not drive in the same lane and thereby damaged cars and street corners when they turn to early out of habit

The seats you were wondering about are faux leather, but the previous ones were cloth, kinda plush. It was probably an airport bus, hence the luggage racks. Our long distance buses are not too dissimilar to American busses in layout, however, these are used so much that long distance bus operators like Flixbus or Regiojet rotate them every 5 years or so, so they are very modern and comfortable.

You do need to check out the long distance busses here in europe. the more recent ones are so so good. super comfy. especially the 2+1 seating ones, leather recliners.

My home city Brno mentioned and recognized, tonight we drink boys! 🍻 🇨🇿

Bus Simulator, it's on Steam. It's been going years so there are different year versions. Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop is the latest.

The Mercedes Future Bus is an autononomous bus. They filmed the commercial in my hometown Hoofddorp in the Netherlands after several months of testing. We have several dedicated bus lanes in the area, so it was ideal for Mercedes to test it here. The bus lanes are seperated from other traffic by means of traffic light and other safety features. The busses always have priority and almost never have to stop for traffic lights beacause they communicated with eachother.

All of the busses in my region in germany have USB connections where you can recharge your phones with today, so wireless charging isn't that off.

The right pedal IS the throttle, of course 🙂

The first bus is city bus, 18m long. The second is suburb style 15m (hence third axle to support weight), third is city bus again, 12m one, and the fourth is 18m again. Merc seemed to be suburb class, 12m. These are typical lenghts for Europe buses. There are also a small ones, 9-10m as supplementary ones. Cosindering trip lengths, city buses ride on routes within cities, mostly between 5 and 15km, with stops in range of few hundred meters. Suburb buses usually go on routes up to 50km, and they usually serve city to suburb. There are also tourist buses in Europe, for inter city/inter country trips. None of these was in this specific film, however one of these you've seen on picture at 15:50, and l;ater on a few Setras. And yes, this film was made few years ago, it shows. Nowadays electric buses are becoming standard, and they're even more sleek. :)

No Škoda bus in this video, I´m surprised. Škoda have some nice bus history and present as well.

Hi, a side note. You have been commenting on Euro Trucks. I don't know how far apart you are from Bruce Wilson a youtuber who has two Scania's. Take a look as his pages. He has just been to Sweden and Finland to look at and drive Volvo's and Scanial. Keep going with this thread it's great! Richard across the pond.

in my town Solaris Urbino, Mercedes-Benz Citaro and MAN LionCity are very popular but we have also a few electric bus from BYD (Chinese Manufacture)

2:36 Here in north Czechia, we have those Urbino 18 buses, and the route that I take, has six 90 degree turns and the bus has to drive fully in the wrong lane to turn wide enough.

you definitely should take us on a bus tour somewhere around your place, it would be very interesting especially because you yourself don't use them!

There were only 2 section buses, but there are 3 and 4 section buses as well - they are quite a challenge to drive. I once saw on KZfaq stucked Belgian VanHool 3sections bus in a turn And Neoplan and SETRA are the world's Rolls-Royces of buses

6:36 This is definitely a coach. Buses and coaches are called 'bus' in any language I know except English. Many non-native English speakers refer to coaches as buses or long-distance buses because they simply use mirror translation.

In Latvia we have also Solaris urbino and Mercedes benz citaro.

Some of the rolling stock of the Trolleybus San Francisco are in fact Škoda 14Tr, albeit adapted to U.S. standards.

we have those articulated buses in Norway, its like driving a car with the engine in a trailer. in winter time those buses are sheit, get stuck everywhere, cant cope with snow.

Solaris buses are great. The newer models in trolleybus configuration get the travelling experience as closest to trams as possible for a bus to be.

Pedal layout is simply a matter of the steering column being in the way for anything else

As you big fan of Skoda. There are Skoda trams. I live in Wroclaw Poland and we have pretty much of them

6:33 We have three types of buses. City buses that stop every 400 meters (500 yards) with people getting on and off. Long-distance buses that pick up passengers from city A or city B, which is several hundred kilometers/miles away, a few hours' drive from city A. Suburban buses that pick up passengers from city A and transport them to nearby towns, which may mean up to 100 km (60 miles), they stop every few km/miles and every few minutes. In the first case, the process of boarding and disembarking passengers deserves special attention. You need a lot of wide doors, a lot of space in which people will be able to move from the door to the interior of the vehicle and back, a lot of standing places, because after all, if you're going through the proverbial three stops, it's not even worth sitting down. In the second case, you need a comfortable place to sit for everyone, plenty of space for luggage, and the number of doors and their width, as well as the width of the passages, must meet safety requirements. The third case is actually the most interesting, because it all depends on the route. The longer the route and the fewer stops there are, the more the bus should resemble a long-distance bus, but the shorter the route and the more stops, the more the bus should resemble a city bus. The bus visible at 6:33 seems to be such an intermediate solution. It is a city bus with a large luggage rack, taking up a significant part of the space intended for standing people, and in the rear raised part there are many seats facing the direction of travel, like in a long-distance bus. Such a bus could easily serve the Warsaw-Kozienice route on national road 79 through Piaseczno, Baniocha, Góra Kalwaria, Magnuszew.

Hehe, they are from Brno, I am using them daily. Btw. that Mercedes "future bus" does not have many seats, it looks like it is for 10 people, so it's probably just a concept.

With many articulated buses the rear axle can also steer and thus follow the driven axle much closer allowing the bus to take tighter corners than e.g a semi with similar length semi-trailer with fixed axle.

You would probably find the Citroёn U55 Currus Cityrama and the Ikarus 55 intersting as well. Futuristic buses not from 7 years, but from 7 decades ago.

I'm not sure about these shown in the video, but most of the buses in Ústí nad Labem are actually power by CNG.

I live in Ontario Canada, and we have a number of buses like that here. AND they are very clean. As well, you can get on at almost any door and tap your card.

I liveed close to Leipzig, Germany for 16 years and they have Solaris busses like the Urbino 18 IV in their public transportation fleet. This bus has it's name from the size it has (it's 18 meters long and the 4th genration of Urbino busses...) Now I live in Salzburg, Austria and here we have Solaris Trollino III - a trolley bus a bit older than the shown bus...

Probably the bus at minute 6 is a city bus to the airport. That is why it has the configuration of an urban line bus but with all the additional space for luggage inside the cabin.

Every bus driver ive asked say bendy busses are actually easier to drive since the front section is 35ft instead of the standard 40 and the trailing axle tracks the center one exactly so you pretty much only worry about the front section.

Nice, that footage is from Brno depot, I live in that area and its a pretty big place with maintanance as well, lots of trams and buses

3:50 There was actually a bus simulator in development by SCS Software (authors of Euro Truck simulator), which was named Euro Coach Simulator, but as far as I know, the development has been halted.

Your fascination by the busses is kinda funny. I use some of them almost every single day as I live in Prague. The long bus is

6:00 Similar busses run in Innsbruck (Austria) as suburban busses, connecting the towns and villages around Innsbruck to the city.

We have these in my town for some time now. They are all pretty good. But we have this thing on Sunday, there are always few lines reserved for historic buses. You can take a ride in some nice old buses from the 90s and 80s and sometimes even older.

Pilsner Urquell is better beer with praga :))) ....nice video about Solaris bus .Aimlivee in Ostrava .In Ostava, we have one of the best urban transports, namely trams, buses, trolleybuses. DPO dopravni podnik Ostrava.And as always your video is very good. thumbs up and greetings from Ostrava Czechia

The SOR and Iveco buses are build in Czechia, SOR is originally czech and built in Libchavy and Iveco, bulit in Vysoké Mýto, was known as Karosa before Irisbus (now called Iveco Bus) bought the company in 2006

well, all of the videos you watched (except the one with mercedes) were took in Brno, Czech republic. The first one is standard bus. The second one is one which drives from Brno airport to main train station. The third one is another standard one, which you can meet everywhere in the city. The fourth one is, as you correctly realized, a trolleybus and you can usually meet them on lines 25, 26, 27, 36, 37. And, yeah, this is the "other" Škoda, the Škoda Plzeň, which makes trams, trolleybuses and trains.

2:18 I drive busses like that about 4 days a week. It's not harder than a regular, except if you drive on roads with just 1 lane. You need to judge space for pulling over very carefully, and also realise the turning circle is larger, while the rear part definitely comes to the inside of the corner. But these don't need much room on the outside of the corner, unlike the standard busses (about 1 meter space needed) or busses with rear axle steering (2 meters clearance needed possibly). 2:56 They look a lot bigger in person, it must be a camera effect 6:19 room for wheelchairs and baby carriages is there usually, I guess the operator chose to have luggage racks there. I suspect it connects to an airport or so.

Great reaction as always greetings from The Netherlands

Buses in Brno, very comfortable, agile and really cool ones, the Iveco is the one for the route to the Airport. The pedals, left (brake) right (throtle - drive by wire) most of them run on CNG. And yeah, they fit amazingly in the narrow streets, specially the articulated ones. The cloth seats on the SOR bus are comfy, specially in winter, only thing I do not understand about them is the waste of space behind the first door, there are no seats. The red buttons are for the doors indeed, driver can choose to open all of them or independently.

As a Dane we also have busses like this on routes with major numbers of passengers. And busses with a low floor for ease of access. And now also Electric busses, as they are easily charged during operations, so that is an obvious addition. We also use systems with an electronic card being just held close to a point in the buss or by trains, for easy central payment for all traffic.

6:05 last axel has steering

You should check the Neoplan Megacruiser and Jumbocruiser. They are beasts!

Solaris Urbino 18 is a low-floor articulated version of the Solaris Urbino series buses designed for public transport, produced by the Polish company Solaris Bus & Coach from Bolechowo near Poznań in Poland. It is the second most popular (after the Solaris Urbino 12) Solaris model in terms of the number of units sold. Since 2005, the third generation of the Urbino 18 is produced. In addition to the basic model, which is powered by a diesel engine which meets the Euro V emission standard, there are versions produced to meet the EEV and fueled with CNG or the second generation hybrid bus model.

Solaris is a Polish factory located in Bolechów near Poznań. They produce combustion, hybrid, electric and hydrogen-powered buses. Their interiors depend on buyers' preferences. Skoda is a Czech manufacturer.

6:33 we have theese types of buses with storage racks go on raute from main train station to airport and back. It's because people traveling between theese two points have more than just backpack and it would usually take up space for one more person. Here, you can stack them almost to the roof.

I used to be a service bus driver in Cardiff the capital city of Wales. We have a lot of Mercedes Citaro 12 metre buses.They are really lovely vehicles to drive as Mercedes really think about the driver when designing the bus. We used to have 18 metre Scania Omnicity bendy buses in Cardiff but they were all phased out in 2022 after 16 years in service.They have been replaced with double deckers which are a lot less time efficient as the stairs are a big problem with getting passengers on or off quickly at stops on busy city service with numerous stops .

If it wasn't for the electronic tickets, it wouldn't matter so much if there's 3 or 4 doors, everyone would need to enter front door to buy a ticket. Well, I remember you pointing out the exact model you find most American in the last video, compared to that one specifically I can understand why you find these looking futuristic, but the other 2 American models didn't look that antique. I think the major difference would be the low floor which makes it a lot easier to use the bus for handicapped people, as well as those with a baby cart or bike. The seat cushion isn't really that great in city busses.

The Solaris was so clean because it probably just came out of the depot and has been cleaned the day before. The dog is the symbol for the low-floor. Every Urbino has it unless it has been taken off by the operating company for livery reasons. There is no Park on buses. You hit "N" and engage the parking brake.

A family friend of mine drives both 12m and 18m busses and she says there's no real difference just have go a bit wider in turns; in tight 90° turns it's more of an annoyance more than anything but we have like max. 5 of them, the tightest of them gets bendy busses every 20 min (5am-10pm (driver changes 1pm-3pm) except one bus (of 4) is replaced at 7pm (during summer the 12m bus will drive till like 2am on a slightly different route)) + 12m at the same frequency between 12pm and 6pm(Monday-Friday except national holidays)(one changing drivers at around 2pm and other is a bus coming of another line) + a couple of other lines utilising 12m and couple times a day 10.8m county line busses aswell.

You probably have noticed that there also are a lot of trams in Europe with the very latest in high-tec design. However, the restriction of having rails in the road I think is going to be replaced by developing technology which "takes care" of the rear of long articulated "train" vehicles to function independently, thus doing away with the need of guiding rails in the road. With regards to overhead cables, it will be a similar story as battery technology eventually replaces their requirement. You notice that in Britain we have double deckers. In other countries they have not always proved popular and while they may operate on some routes, there is no other country where they are universally used, and certainly not in the countryside.! There is also the matter of low bridges, and the British over the years, have excavated under every single bridge that in the past had proved a problem with height clearance. In Europe, town and city-centre bus termini are usually situated side by side (usually called an Interchange). In countries like France, there is usually a free micro bus which circles round from the Interchange, through the historic shopping centre (often squeezing down tiny cobblestone precincts along which cars are banned). In Britain, you'll often see this as P&R (Park and Ride) where the terminus is in the suburbs (where people leave their cars), then taking motorists to the city centre Interchange (where cars are often banned). To get info on free town centre buses will depend on language, e.g. in France you look under "navette gratuite". In any country, most people check on-line beforehand, before arriving at a town they're not familiar with. In Britain we have "Traveline" which lists absolutely everything, from "what time you need to get out of bed" to how many feet you need to step from station to bus stop, do you have to change buses, how many minutes will you wait for your connection, is it the same bus stop, or do you need to cross the road.? Hope you didn't find this text too boring.

I’d gladly chip in with info on NYC buses (even though I’m Hungarian myself): NYC buses have 2 doors. Ingress happens only via the first door. Egressing is allowed at both doors. NYC buses are semi-low floor. The forward section is lowered while there is an elevated platform after the second door. (I guess for the engine and tranny etc.) There is a pneumatically operated wheelchair ramp built in the first door’s doorway. (It is quite intimidating when it slams on the sidewalk). European buses are mostly completely low floor as they have their engines in the left rear corner of the pax compartment. There is a (mostly hand-operated) wheelchair ramp at the second door. NYC buses have a touchless payment terminal too at the driver’s cabin. Getting on American buses can take a lot longer as only the first door is used for that purpose. Especially for disabled folks like me whose steeds must be anchored at the designated spot by the driver. As American buses carry a lot less people the kind/asshole pax ratio seems a lot more favourable than here in Hungary.

The first bus is actualy realy nice for driving, much easier than the "normal" 12m, at least on dry road. Litteraly drove with the same model on my 9hr shift yesterday :-D

San Diego has buses with racks like the Iveco but only on the buses used for the airport route.

1:16 This is my workplace. Brno Medlánky depo DPMB. I have the same bus, only with the number 2672. 6:41 this bus is modified for the line from the airport to the city center. It is adapted for transporting a large amount of luggage.

4:45 This dog is different between versions of the bus: a) normal one (regular bus, on the video) b) with electric plug instead of tail (fully electric) c) with leash (trolley) d) with one leg up ('low entry') e) with double blue hearts (hybrid)

15:00 In our largest city that tablet would have a 90% change of being returned. I have myself returned few dozen phones, tablets and credit cards. And got my phone back when I lost it one time.

for the mercedes electric bus: this is the manufacturer advert. the seating would be very different in the real thing. you do need more than 20 seats to make it interesting. city buses are often asymetrical in the back because they are low and you still need to fit in all engine parts.

The types of buses like the solaris on the first video usually operate in big European cities were there are a lot of big and wide roads

14:00 All of the buses this days are like that because in rear left is the engine and in the right is window.
