An out and back from Maryland to NYC warrants a quick drop-off and leaving Manhattan as quickly as possible. Went pretty smoothly this time around.
Vehicle: 2020 MCI J4500
Engine: Detroit Diesel DD13
Transmission: Allison B500 Fuel Sense 6-speed
Chapters
00:00 slow in Times Square
03:48 dashing to the tunnel
05:00 Lincoln Tunnel and all its glory
08:32 NJ-495 scramble to I-95
13:04 freedom

love how you're not afraid to put the pedal down, some people don't know how to get out the way in new york.

@hobog 16 күн бұрын

For keeping with the lead motorcoach and getting the tail past intersections, yes. Otherwise, dropping the pedal is reckless in cities

@eugew23 15 күн бұрын

Absolutely. Knowing the balance between flow and recklessness is an important factor in city driving. Also, knowing your own limits in skillset is great to have.

awesome driving boss man, I use to drive for Megabus when they first started around 2008. I do not miss those NYC drives to Boston or NYC to DC runs. I now live out west driving for a small california city for their transit authority and absolutely love it.

Stumbled on this video so I subscribe. 0:13 - 0:25 Looking all the way left & behind bus, people don't realize how dangerous this turn is - stupid people like to sneak in last second or walk angle toward front of bus. These MCI sure looks smooth like an old Cadillac. 4:30 11 O'clock Old Greyhound Depot now Quill Depot where I got my CDL in 87. Thanks for the tour. retired nyct bus operator.

Totally love how you kept your cool, despite being cut off and pedestrians walking infron totally oblivious that a bus is waiting for them to pass so he can be on his way. Kudos to you sir! And I totally love the sound of that Allison transmission

Having had driven on a university campus for a few years before COVID, my patience with pedestrians is rock solid lol. If there is a place other than a dense city that has a lot of pedestrians, it's a college campus.

Did a practice road test for Class A the other day and I almost threw a fit. NYC is chaos. People parked in the road everywhere, sometimes on both sides. Drivers cutting you off. People speeding around you because youre trying to be careful. It's maddening. I can't wait to move out of here.

cameras on all sides film the floor and then a picture of the bus is simply placed in the middle to create the illusion of a top view, which makes it easier to comprehend for the driver

Yeah driving through NYC is not my fave thing to do. When I go visit family I generally avoid going through city which I normally can avoid. Once awhile I have to go into edge of city just by staying on highway. One year I had to drive down to Glen Island park in New Rochelle just on edge of city for COVID testing since I came from Chicago to visit families during Christmas. Thankfully I was tested negative on Christmas Eve and I didn’t have to quarantine for 7 days. It was a mess driving in new Rochelle and it took me two hours to go though the line.

That silver car towards the end is either new in the area or just a nervous driver. They kept going slow and I think they were trying to let people in from that on ramp just after the tunnel. those type of drivers just gets on my nerves at times.
