I like taking people on a drive. Come with me as I drive cars and buses and whatever I can get my hands on.
POV Bus Drive: Getting the Hell out of NYC in two MCI J4500s

Today, we are driving an ND1 Miata RF, Grand Touring trim with the 6-speed manual. This has the 2.0 liter 155 hp motor that the US received prior to the updated 184 hp engine found in the ND2. This being the RF (retractable fastback) model, it comes with a metal hardtop that makes it look rather sleek, but it is not a full convertible, more of a targa body style.

Does this company not sue the overhead charging pantograph thing? Not sure what to call it
That screaming jimmy at the back
Drive it like you stole it Big E!
That video makes me fall a sleep
I don't know if u got a bus license 🪪
Is the same steering wheel of the International semi
17.67 usd a hour so it's 30dolars nzd they get here in nz to drive busses and I can say your find it way easy to drive here keep up the good work man
Wow today's buses look like a lot of fun to drive. Wish I could drive again.
Why does it rattle so much even if it's electric? Is it the suspension? Or just a lot of really loose objects every where?
The quieter the motor, the more rattles you hear. Low floor buses are typically more noisy regardless of whether they are diesel or electric.
On our gilligs in New Mexico if you sit in the back you hear the turbo flutter
“Getting the hell out of NYC”? 🤨
We had to MCI J4500s and soled them for vanhools thay drive very junky
Wish we drove J4500s we drive those damn CX45 vanhools
Your bus sounds like junk
My city has these busses
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.
Awesome! I’ve done San Francisco but this looks like a whole different level of insanity!
Did that car hit the bus at 9:45?
I don't drive busses but this was cool to watch! I live in NYC, so I understand the nightmare of driving on the streets of Manhattan
All I can say from living here is the roads are ridiculous but somehow they work. I don’t get it 😂
Good to hear some newer buses are still powered by Detroit Diesel. I miss the DD50 engines in our city buses back in the day
Anyone driving in nyc goodness y'all have patience and skills you gotta have it ,nyc is the ultimate test to driving skills I assume ,test you on all levels every second 🤣
is it just me or did nobody get on
8:30 woke up this morning and got yourself a gun.
That’s one of my dream cars🥺
Range, power, specs?
lmaoooo glad to see your enjoying my city. cool to see a video like this, not many POV bus driving vids in the city. good shit.
Wow I was just thinking about you. You’re with DASH now and no longer with the University?
Cool video but why are the mirrors so zoomed in lol
That's amazing how you get a birds eye view on the screen. I thought driving in London was bad to hell with driving one in nyc, how long is the coach? We have 15metre long with rear axle steering too
To give you a perspective New Zealand since the mid 90s had been churning out super low floor buses while the USA was still producing these beasts. The last major high floor order was in the mid 90s.
Yeah it's crazy how late North America kept making high floors. Gillig made the last high floor in 2008. They did also start making low floors in the mid 90s but it did not catch on until a while later.
Would it be funny if I told you the engine model in these is probably the same as some buses in New Zealand because they used American Made Cummins for some bus models.
That's very interesting indeed
@@eugew23 Especially when every single component besides the engine and accessories was made in China. Cummins has Chinese manufacturing so its big hmm.
3:08 he hit the truck 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😝😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pretty uneventful getting out of there. Nice vid
Omg your fans love you!!!!!
I got it up to 82 on the drive down!
Sheeeeeeeesh
Do you hate driving through NYC, or?
I'm sure he loves it and hates it clearly in video looks like you have to stay in your toes every minute
The turn signal sound sounds like an Actia
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.
That safety system is really aggressive about following distance
It is aggressively annoying, not to even mention the speed limit warning warning. Really hampers the experience on these newer buses.
Much respect for you. Wow that tunnel seemed very narrow. Great ride a long.. motorcoach operator was my dream job.
Sometimes I really wish Mercedes-Benz still using O405 design on their new buses like Gillig do to theirs new buses
What lovely video, love this buses.
i wonder if MCI D series have similar driving feels
✌🏾
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.
Hold on babe Eugene posted a new video
Get outta here
People are such jerks in NYC, I know, born and raised in NYC and still live here.
Do you drive full time? I recently got my CDL-B with passenger and school bus endorsements and drive for a charter company part time.
I used to for the University of Maryland. I only do charters part time now.
@@eugew23 NYCT Transit needs Bus Operators think they still hiring. better benefits / pension & more $$$ than charter / school. $ 60,000 first year after 5 you probably can make $130,000 + if you like to hustle. I retired 2020 Feb right before Covic & work O/T made $134,000 gross 2023 to pad my pension.
@@masonloh1411 Thing is, he probably don't want to get shot and spit on at work though.
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.
