I rode 12 school buses back before I graduated. Thomas C2 No. 594 (I reckon it's a 2006 or 2007 probably retired summer 2023) was decent but garbage. A bluebird RE No. 19 (retired) A Thomas flat nose FE No. 164 (retired) A first gen bluebird vision No. 192 (probably retired) A short IC CE No. 739 (unknown) A bluebird vision like RE No. 186 (probably retired) A short Thomas C2 No. 107 (retired) A bluebird Freightliner No. 721 (most likely retired) A flat nose genesis No. 311 (retired) A bluebird International No. 160 (retired) A IC CE No. 784 (still in service I reckon) A Thomas C2 No. 188 (probably retired)
All 3 are privately owned, and if I had to guess he probably bought it from a state that has strict requirements that a retired school bus can no longer resemble a school bus to be legally driven on public roads, and he’s probably not the first person to own it since it was retired from school service.
All 3 of these busses are probably now privately owned and no longer in service for a school district. Some states require that for a retired school bus to legally drive on the street it can no longer resemble a school bus any longer, yellow must go, safety lights must go, stop arm gets pulled. That blue one was probably purchased from a state that has those requirements and this person is not the first owner since it’s been retired.
Thats not cold starting lol. Where I work the buses park in a heated shop at 40 degrees no need to wait for the grid heater starts right up. We got one old vison like that one I dont drive bluebirds but I would drive that over the new vision our vision has a 5.9l cummins. Rest all run 6.7l cummins
Nah that sounds more of what a Caterpillar would do lol Cummins been pretty dependable and served me well Cat on the other hands been a big smokey turd
I’ve never heard of such a thing happening with any, luckily anyways this bus is super low mileage and was treated very well by the school I purchased it from
BLUEBIRD IS SO ADORABLE
LMAO IT used to be my district!
That yellow bluebird bus sounds awesome with caterpillar diesel power 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

I like the first bus I go on bus 428
So what happened to 106 and 39? Sorry I have not been in the loop
My mistake for not mentioning it actually
106 was sold to a school
39 I sold to one of my good friends
You work as a bus driver?
Nope, these are my personally owned buses
My favorite is the Thomas C2 tho you can put them on high idle they warm up faster
what company did the CE come from?
@@itzryan_1 Baldwinsville CSD
At Wendy Hill Elementary we have a bus 46
Why do you have a blue school bus?
All 3 are privately owned, and if I had to guess he probably bought it from a state that has strict requirements that a retired school bus can no longer resemble a school bus to be legally driven on public roads, and he’s probably not the first person to own it since it was retired from school service.
Why Is that bus blue?

@@itzryan_1 they’re definitely cheap lmao
The C2 I paid a good amount on, but 420 and 46 were cheap

I’d take the Thomas if it had a cat or mbe motor not that pos Cummins that will be blowing a head gasket really soon unfortunately
Nah that sounds more of what a Caterpillar would do lol
Cummins been pretty dependable and served me well
Cat on the other hands been a big smokey turd
@@ThatOneLT1 you’ve gotten lucky so far our Cummins keep eating fuel pumps and blowing head gaskets when they get up there and high mileage
I’ve never heard of such a thing happening with any, luckily anyways this bus is super low mileage and was treated very well by the school I purchased it from
@@alex84896 yeah
