The Italian bus driver was giving instructions to the others and telling the other bus driver that there were other busses ahead...Amalfi is fantastic to see....thank you so much for reacting to Italy 🇮🇹 ...we are so underrated in Europe everyone talks about Germany and that's fine but Italy is on onother level...ciao
Those bus driver's must want just 0,5-1meter wider roads in these locations.
there are more narrow roads and pretty landscapes in the alps. for decades we went from germany to a campsite near venice, but for many years there was no autostrada (neither brennero nor villach udine), causing it to be an extra 3-7 day minivacation, and we always took different roads and probably have done every possible pass that exists, including _passo san boldo_ (passo sant' ubaldo) and _monte grappa_ which would be worth more reaction videos. it can be searched on wikipedia and youtube (mostly with bikes, eg SJwjzFwV-5Y which has german commentary and chapters, but also seems to have "mostly acceptable" automatic subtitles for english).
btw: we were there several decades ago when there was much less traffic, but also the road had no traffic lights yet to alternate the direction, tunnels (with 200+ degree turns inside) had no lamps, and black road in a black tunnel with possible opposing cars was a bigger challenge and honking was an absolute must :-)
@@Anson_AKB Hi! I'm from Bassano, at the feet of Monte Grappa. I can confirm Passo san Boldo's really something to see, best by (motor)bike! Mountain roads are quite narrow here, you know, most of them where built before cars and in most cases there is very few room to broaden them anyway. But this is part of their charm!
Non ha detto "5 o 6 pullman( poi non ho capito) macchina" qualcosa? 😂
@@GuitarRock86 eh parla in dialetto campano, anch'io (da veneto) non ho capito niente...
I‘m from Germany and have been to Italy like 25 times and I really love this country and its people. My wife and me visited Amalfi Coast in 2015 and it as so beautiful. We had a little Jeep Renegade (daily commuter) at that time and I was glad to not have a bigger car there on these roads.
You can understand!
Jeep Renegade is already at the limit xD
Yes - European roads are small - VERY SMALL. That's why we laugh sometimes at american SUV's - We're like " Oh man, you're not gonna be able to drive that here".
I think you mentioned it a couple of times . In the Netherlands car chase too. Our roads are not wide. And to be honest, Im thankful for that.
Makes them a lot safer!
at least in the Netherlands there are almost no mountains... I live near the Alps and roads wander a lot here... :v
@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 Not entirely true btw
@@NanescuRadu1 unless you cant drive on a narrow road because you're to incompetent narrow roads generally are safer
Yeah, for us the Ford Ranger is big. Once I saw an imported F-150 and I was like "Is that a house?"
Italian here, it's not only Italy but all Europe, our city are centurys old so the road weren't made for car or busses
Not old, ancient.
@@aldocuneo1140 They are ancient because they are centuries old.
Italy roads aren't for fainted hearts drivers . Its common in USA say : you drive like an italian....in reality majority i know wish they could .
1:20 yes thats the Horn, he uses it before every corner so oncoming traffic knows someone is coming, its pretty scary if you are not used to it.
.....a horn that no one inside a bus/car/truck ...whatever....around the turn would have no chance to hear..... it's just pointless theatre... You don't have to go longer than to Switzerland or Austria before you will find roads that easily can match the one in the video... There the bus drivers just solve the upcoming problems equally well ....but without all that theatricals....
@@Dan-fo9dk well it is italian bus driver lol... no offence to italians but they kinda tend to be theatrical, and i think they enjoy in that, we all know it, but we still love them.. dutches are direct and blunt but we still love them, former yugoslavs, oh we can be and often are a lot of things lol but hopefully others still love us. at least i hope so. we all are europeans with our own things and characheristics wich makes us be slightly different from each others, but at the end we all share same continent, a lot of history, memories, mixings, friendships, loves , vacations etc.. we all are like bunch of siblings or group of friends with different personalities..
@@Dan-fo9dk Everyone can hear the bus hornes, the theatre is just your idiotic comment
@@Dan-fo9dk you never been on any kind of this road but yeah big mouth on the inet.....
@@boredutopia well theatrical maybe but not for this. Hearing the horn pretty much saved my life once in a blind curve.
I'm an italian student, i live in a small town and i take a public extra-urban(?) Bus to go to school. For my experience, my bus goes to REALLY small two sided roads (even two camions menage to fit there somehow) and the bus drivers are forced to use the horn to make others know that they are there. However when its morning and its still dark out they won't use it, instead they will flash their lights so that the citizens that are still sleeping won't be disturbed, but drivers will still be able to communicate.
Have a great day/night everyone!
(I'm sorry for any English mistakes)
I was just here in September of last year and the amount of skill these bus drivers have is just absolutely insane.
Brava. When I travelled Europe in the mid 90’s we had an Italian coach driver, Enzo. He was phenomenal where he could put the coach.
I have driven a lot of miles as an Australian but, credit where credit is due 👏
Enzo Ferrari?
this is real life TETRIS with buses!😂
I grew up there. The filming was evidently done in the middle of summer, at the time of maximum traffic. If two local bus drivers meet, there is no problem either the problem is small and easily fixed. The trouble is created when it is full of tourist buses, driven by people who don't know the place and panic easily. And to all this are added the cars of tourists, who rightly don't know how to drive on that road. I will always remember my father-in-law who was terrified and trembling all the way down the road from Agerola, which is the town above where these shots were taken. The town is about a thousand perpendicular meters above the sea, so imagine what the road might be like. Which then joins this one.😁
Italy is one of my favorite places to travel to.
Nice weather, amazing food and beautiful nature/cities.
This happens EVERY DAY during tourist season on the Amalfi coast. The stretch between San Pietro and Amalfi town is particularly 'fun'.
Bus driver is beeping the horn to notify traffic coming his way. Common thing to do in Italy
I'm Italian and I'm quite proud to say that if you learn to drive here you can drive everywhere. Btw he was saying that there were like 5 or 6 more busses ahead and that cars are unable to pass at this point.
From this video we understand why in Italy are so popular micro cars like FIAT 500, Smart, Ape Cars etc.
Hi, I just watched your videos for the first time and I really like them, but most of all I love to hear your enthusiastic comments ❤ Ciao dal Veneto, northern Italy 😊
as an aussie we dont say honk we say beep reason he is beeping so let other drivers know that he's coming the other direction
Note to myself: if ever visiting Amalfi - take a (motor) bike.
I'm a truck driver myself but squeezing anything larger than a van through these tiny italian roads would be too much for my nerves. Respect to the ones who have to do.
You have to be very proud of these skillful Italian Bus drivers. ! These neapolitans are amazing. The roads of Europe are full of surprises for drivers. I have see this in Spain, Portugal, France and England and also Greece.
These are called Tour Coaches in Europe and the UK vs a Bus which is used for in-city transport (see the bus in the tunnel with the lit sign). They normally take tour groups of tourists around holiday and tourist spots.
It is the same here in Australia.
but this seems a pubblic line bus. you can see it when the camera turns back.
The differences between buses and coaches is that coaches have very regular seating and nowadays always seat belts that must be used, whereas buses are optimized for capacity including people who stand, and getting on and off quickly. In rural areas, coaches are often used for regular lines as well. I didn't look too closely, but the red bus with the lit sign looks to me as if it's such a coach used as a bus.
@@johaquila You are correct on all points. I would avoid catching a bus on that route. The law of averages is too great a risk.
The amalfi coast is the southern part of a peninsula that is coverd completely with mountains. It's located in southern italy close to Naples. While there are two roads crossing the mountains to get to the rest of Italy, this one is actually the only one connecting all the small cities along the coast. Amalfi, the city that the coast is named after played actually a major role in Italian history roughly between the year 800 and 1100. There is very little room for farming there and so people started trading very early on earning good money that way. Amalfi then became the first of the famous independent italian city republics controlling a huge portion of the trade between europe and the middle east. This is where all the nice buildings come from. Later on Venice took that role and today only roughly 5000 people are living in Amalfi. It's similar in the other small cities along the coast that are just as beautiful. So during the winter months when there are less tourist and no busses this road is fine. But during summer it gets absolutely crazy.
I live an hour from Sorrento, and I avooooid it! for summer time.
They actually have a comm code with the horn.
A few months ago I was following a bus through my tiny village in England.
The driver took a wrong turning into a tiny side road, so had to reverse out.
He reversed into a road sign, panicked and jerked forward right into a very old thatched cottage.
The cottage did get repaired but I'm guessing he lost his job lol
Don´t vorry. The cottage was probobly not more than a thusand year old.. or so
8:09 It's so hard to understand italian slangs, (I'm from Rome city) but if I understood properly what he said, he said: "there were 5 or 6 buses and if the car wouldn't left, it'd end badly!!"
I also watched a different video about this narrow road, different situations, and I was astonished!! It amazed me how they really could manage it all with jokes, ability and a sort of 'calm behavior'!! [Edit] @Basstard correced me, the driver actually ended saying: "It'd end up 'tomorrow'" In order to say that they wouldn't never made it!!
I understand "ci sono 5 o 6 pullman e non fanno passare le auto [come fa lui], arrivi domani"
@UCt5dCTRpLtNvvtXtr_tfR4w nunn fann passa' 'e mag'n
[Non me fanno passare di macchine]
@@basstard13 ok, stavo cercando di ascoltare meglio nel frattempo ho tolto il msg, eh sì è più probabile con "arrivi domani"...
I’m getting the vibe that the buses that use this (and other like this) road turn up at the stops/destination whenever the f they get there 😂
Narrow roads like this is quite common in europe, the added challenge with this particullar road is all the traffic and that you have a huge cliff on both sides that make it impossible to go slightly off the road.
During summer season I take my truck up a road not much wider than this, but still much easier since it's in a forrest wich allow me to balance on the edge without the fear of falling off a cliff, also much less traffic and barely any trucks or busses.
Spectacular place. I’m half Italian and video reminds me it’s time to go visit home and Europe this year !:)
I remember seeing something similar in Turkey a couple of years ago, on the bus ride from the airport to the hotel. - Up to then we had been planning to rent a car to explore the surrounding area, but after that we changed our minds and rented two scooters instead.
In Italy was, and I think is still today, mandatory for long passenger vehicles like buses, to have a two tones horn to use every time that they approach a tight turn like the ones in the video
I don't belive it's mandatory, good sense though...
@@entropyshield I expressed myself bad... It's mandatory to have the two tone horn installed on vehicles like buses, and it's good behaviour to use this horn in every tight turns to signal to other vehicles that a long vehicle is approaching
@@entropyshield And the answer is.... YES!!! It's a mandatory!!!!!
This is the safety rules we have in Italy...
"ITALIAN Highway Code
Art. 156. Use of acoustic signaling devices
1. The acoustic signaling device must be used with the utmost moderation and ONLY FOR ROAD SAFETY PURPOSES. The report must be as brief as possible.
2. Outside residential areas, THE USE OF THE ACOUSTIC SIGNALING DEVICE IS PERMITTED WHENEVER ENVIRONMENTAL OR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS REQUIRE IT IN ORDER TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, IN PARTICULAR DURING OVERTAKING MANOEUVRES. During the night or during the day, if necessary, the acoustic signal can be replaced by short intermittent light signals using the spotlights, in cases where this is not prohibited.
I think the two-tone horn is reserved to the "corriere", the public buses that make a public line service between towns. They have right of way in these situations if there is (and there certainly is here) the typical red road sign with a black horn. it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Italian_traffic_signs_-_dare_precedenza_alle_corriere_(early).svg
I love my Italian friends. As seen in the video the most important part of a car is the horn! everything else is just optional :D
The horn is used in every corner to get the other vehicles the incoming presence of the bus since they cannot see it, that is so hard to understand
@@hazhoner5727 No it's not hard to understand, but you managed to miss the whole point of the original comment.
I live in London, lots of tiny bendy roads, we have the same sort of situations sometimes!
I've been to the Amalfi area a couple of times. It is very beautiful but(In a full size coach) a couple of times. It is very beautiful and I love it, but the roads can be terrifying. They honk the horn on bends so anyone coming in the other direction can hear them before they see them so know they're there. The drivers there are fearless! Oh... and the roads are mostly two-way traffic!
Those are lovely coaches to drive, I drove one on the Isle of Man for a while and some of the roads are this narrow, but not as much traffic.
6 forward pre selector gear box and a split back axle. Really designed for long distance touring.
I'm italian...and i think that we learn to talk with hands...because this 😂😂😂.
Yes, italian road can be also smaller (2 senses). Believe me.
Been to Positano from Sorrento by bus, its part of the entertainment!
It is insane
You don't want to be in a hurry!
Its so beautiful up there that you don't care how long it takes
Classical summertime traffic jam due to the deluge of tourists from all over the world. They like to go visit all the small villages along the coastline but those roads were built more than a century ago and definitely weren't made for buses and SUVs.
If you want to see some really narrow Italian roads, have a look at the old town of Assisi. Its on top of a hill, and is incredibly old. Everything that was built after 1500 AD is called a new house there, and the streets are just wide enough for 1 car with spare room of 1 ft on each side to the walls. The biggest that can be used there are Sprinter vans, everything bigger would scrape along the window sills, and especially it wouldn't be able to get around corners of intersections. All the utility vehicles like busses, the sanitation trucks and so on, are special designs based on van sized vehicles. And in addition, during the summer the place is packed with tourists. Check out the many videos from there, its a interesting place.
Ps, the road cannot be widened at all as it's solid rock and you'd have to close the very busy main road. Only pretty much 1 road in and one 2.5 hour detour road if you can't access this road.
Holy crap. Never thought I’d catch a vid in under 5 mins from release.
Love the vids mate!
The driver speaks in Campania dialect, commonly known as Neapolitan dialect; so i may not have understood well since i am from Emilia Romagna (north of Italy). He should have said: "there are 5 or 6 buses, cars don't let the pass!" Then, to another car he said: "at least steer the wheels!"
SETRA is a German company that only produces buses. They are very popular vehicles in Europe
In 2016 I went to Majorca and rented a Fiat Panda 4x4 Mk1, I made 1086km in 10 days across the Island, it goes from sea level to + 6000 Ft elevation (including snow), the roads were like this, there were buses with tourists and what not on impossible turns, where bicycles would've collided....Since I only get sunrise on the sea in my country, the west of Majorca was magical with the Sun falling down on the sea above the horizon! But the streets were Holy crap!
Setra is such a great bus brand. They build beautiful coaches!
Man this is awesome, you can call them drivers. They make their way on the narrowest curviest roads. Some skill perfection. Best regards, a bus driver.
I have done amalfi coast in June 2014 on a motocycle. The traffic wasn't as bad as on this video at that time, but did pass a couple of buses myself. Mind blowingly beautyful place.
I've been in a bus along the Amalfi coast road. It's very scary at points as not only do they squeeze through as you saw but the roads are very windy with little guards at some point and huge cliff drops of 100ft plus!
We have similar situations in the mountains here, I "died" every time as a passenger!
You should see them driving to the ski resorts on the France/Italy border. Switchback bends where you don’t see the road, just a huge precipice.
Living in a place in Europe with lot of US Americans here (lovely people, lovely neighbours! ♥️). They do cause lots of traffic jams, accidents and weird situations. I don't blame them, since they learned to drive in a totally different area and brought their big cars with them.
In proportion in some years they are causing 10 times more accidents than locals.
Plus they only learn driving from Papa and Mama. No driving schools 🥺
@@tarwod1098 they do have driving schools and or programs depending on the State. Oklahoma for example does have special courses at school for drivers education. It's an integrated part. In other States is as simple as driving around the block to get your license.
Not all US drivers are bad and I wouldn't talk in such a way about them.
@@BlueFlash215 I’m sorry. I never heard of American states having driving schools. So that makes a huge difference
The alps is also nuts. But yeah, these guys do this stuff every day. :) It's just business as usual.
Amalfi is one of the top European touristic attraction so Yes, a lot of people is usual
Yeah I've been to the Amalfi coast and rode the Bus from Sorrento to Marina del Cantone. It's quite the experience.
That was my size bus, that is exactly why you are nice and tip very decently to your tour guide to suppliment the bus driver for his actions. They really know how to drive all while sticking to the schedule. Amalfi coast was awesome. We stopped at the top then went down to the shore, but couldn't park bus as close as you wanted it. Resulted in a 15min all uphill walk to the bus stop area once finished with the site tour. The driver also supplies you a bottle of water everyday for $1euro. Maybe a piece of fruit aswell.
9:28 He said to that car's driver to steer his/her wheels... Just imagine how tight the gap is, if steering the wheels makes the difference!
I grow up in Switzerland but my parents are from Napoli nearly by Amalfi! We spend all the holidays there and im very happy to sea videos about this!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇮🇹
They should dig the side of the hill and make the road wider.
Over in Europe took at bus around the Greek islands of Corfu. It was a 2 way street that was a wide as the bus. You where eyeline with windows and large wall..was very weird and cool
I haven't travelled everywhere yet, but when it comes to taking a public bus, the route from Sorento to Amalfi might very well
be the best in the world.
Besides taking this route by public bus, I did drive it a few times as well. Where one time I had two Canadian backpackers with me as well, where the one in the back got carsick from all the twists and turns. (and I am avoiding all blame on my driving style)
i was driving this someyears ago in a Rantal car ... right this place ... it was a nightmare and still Super Fun ,,,
Did a coach tour around Scandinavia some years ago, and some of the roads are that bad. I remember some of the turns he had to do a 3 point turn just to get around a corner. Talk about a goat track.
....but I guess they solved their driving challenges without using that horn theatrics as in the video....
That reminded me of driving on some of the narrowest roads I've ever seen in the Faroe Islands. Lots of tight squeezes with having to pull over or back up to make room for oncoming traffic - and I was driving a car. I would not want to do that in a bus or a truck.
I am from near Amalfi and i drove few weeks ago on those roads and i can assure you it's small, i was on a Mazda CX-5 and I was struggling a bit
Lol, what bout the episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson rode a hi end Jet ski and Richard Hammond in a Alfa Romeo 4c.
that was also in Italy.
They are Masters, i swear!
I sea with my eyes!
THANK YOU ❤❤😂😂
It is similar in Croatia. I remember when I was in Pula (as a tourist with family some 15 years ago ), and we took local bus from the village we stayed to Pula for sightseeing (there is Roman Amphitheatre that is over 2000 years old, among other things). The roads were wide just enough for 1 bus, with a lot of curving, and you could practically touch walls on each side of the road, there were at some points around 10 cm between the wall and side-view mirrors 😄 It is a common thing in old (medieval and earlier styles) cities because the narrow, curving roads helped against strong winds from sea and keeping the temperature relatively nice 🙂
Its fun around there in a hire car. Going back in the summer.
These busses are smaller so they can fit in these areas. I've been on teh island of Jersey (between france and the UK) and there the busses are way smaller because they're driving tourists around the island and sometimes they meet on tight roads. Our bus driver just said "it'll fit, otherwise I have to repaint the bus and that's okay..."
Those buses in the video had standard size ....2,55 m wide.....
If you pick a random small town in Italy or Greece(or any European State, tbh), you won´t find roads larger than this. Most are just streets and became de facto roads only because of need and lack of infrastructure back in the 50s(which in some cases got fixed, but in most the room simply isn´t there).
This is easily explained by the fact that most small towns were built during middle age or even earlierduring the Roman Empire, and nobody needed a particularly large road for ox-drawn carriages, people on a donkey or horse or simply walking. And this never changed for centuries. I am glad that after the horrendous urban planning of the 70s that basically was made only for cars and risked to destroy our historical city centres (the smog is awful on old stone, it damages it a lot), now things are slowly getting better, as in more reasonable, with more space taken from cars and given to pedestrians and bikes.
The light on that signals could be due to the dirty EGR valve, proceeding at those low speeds often causes it to light up
That brings back memories, were I come from, Madeira Island, Portugal, the old roads are like this and even tighter, sometimes you have to be well coordinated with the bus/coach driver, because the bus will go to the WRONG side of the road, and so will you, to be able to open the bend to the bus to go through, I just love that kind of driving, unlike in the UK, although there's a few here, when I drive back home, I feel more connected to the car, I can see how good I am as a driver, and be proud of my mental/driving skills.
A busride up to the Eagles Nest in Germany is the most spectacular busride i´ve been on. A switchback road with a steep climb. 😱
1:47 it isn't a one-way road and the bus driver is using the horn before each turn exactly to warn an incoming vehicle to stop before the bend.
Amalfi is a stunning place, was there in May and really the only way to travel is bus or ferry. We got the bus to Ravello and Cetara along the SS163 coast road and the first time travelling that way was hair raising. But that coastal road is beautiful and if you get the chance to go, experience it then do so. I don't think you'll be disappointed with it
This road has been escavated through rock more than 150 years ago, finished in 1850, before American civil war. Obviously NOT meant for today big buses
Salerno and Capri island all the way over to Sardinia are also amazing places to visit.
8:08 He has some thick regional accent, so I have a hard time understanding.
I think he says "there's 5 or 6 busses, you can't pass them with a car" And then he seem to complain...
That's Amalfi. And why we got the train there from Naples but it's a glorious road to drive.
I've been on one of these busses from positano to amalfi and it's mental.
This road was built by the Romans, so it is well over 2000 years old, so it is not surprising that it is not designed for modern vehicles. But the buses there are also shorter than the standard coaches or buses, otherwise they would no longer be able to avoid the narrow hairpin bends. I've driven this road myself - scenic, but as a driver you don't see much of it because you have to concentrate on the traffic.
I once experienced this in Italy. It was on island Capri hour and a half by hydrofoil ship from Napoli. Traveled from port to the highest point and back. But unlike here in was minibuses (half size of regular bus like here (besides that is not a touristic bus, that is a country commute bus)) bigger then a van. And there was really one way road much narrower then here, and they drove faster 40-60km/h. A bit scary.
I once drove into a French village with a high roof camper van. After a turn I stood in front of the church with no way to turn around. I had to backup all the way out and some stores had to roll in their blinds.
the driver said " there are 4 or 5 pullman (bus) that don't let cars pass" they share just a comment on the traffic jam. In the summer period in Amalfi the traffic is's crazy i suggest motor bike
Bellisima Amalfi. Normal airhorn here in Italy. Great video Grazie THX. 🇮🇹
europe is old. alot of these roads is made before large vehicles was a thing.
some places still have old cobblestone roads too.
The Pantheon is the oldest building in the world that's still in use today. Since the 7th century, it has been a Roman Catholic church. Built around 125 A.D.
also hold the record to this day for largest unsupported dome.
compared to that america as a nation is still on the toddler stage.
This is what it's like driving trucks on some roads here in Norway. Lot's of driving like this in Europe. Fun to watch, not so fun to do it.
wow, my pulse goes up 🤣
That was some skillful driving!
And now everyone knows why we do the wolf, cabbage and sheep problem in school. :))
This reminds me of that one time we had to have more high traffic tiles of a specific color and texture for a job and the only place that still had them was in Italy.
Truck, summer, same kind of road and issues. :)
Bro I work on this road and i can tell you that as soon you get stuck it’s game over but it is a beautiful road they used to race too if you wanna check i think the race is called Amalfi-Agerola hillclimb
^^ as you can see in these situations, the typically Italian gesticulation is very useful, like the signals with flags at the time of the sailing ships
He said the last time "at least straighten the wheels of your car" because if they are turned they come out of the profile of the car
I have been on a buss in a similar situation when the driver took us to Heptapyrgion of Thessalonica and had to drive up the whole of the old town. I think that was even worse because he had to maneuver through super tiny streets and make 180 degree turns. True nightmare
Rosenbauer set the scale even more up with their model "Buffalo Extreme" high performance Industrial fire truck. Check it out!
I once drove a camper (autocaravan) on those road and it was a scary experience with a constant fear of falling down that cliff
I did a 2 weekTrafalgar bus tour if Italy. No it's both ways of traffic. Awesome bus drivers. All drivers are very considerate and know that buses will be around and to give room. He's honking for opposing traffic to know he's coming around just in case.
in the usa that wouldn't be possible at all, because some karen would block the tunnel and not go any further
8:27 the traffic you see is probably just a few days a year, like in those holiday periods (like late summer or easter)
The driver is honking his horn to warn other, oncoming traffic, since he cannot see around the curves.
about that Setra Bus: Setra is a German bus brand of EvoBus GmbH, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG which itself is owned by Mercedes-Benz. Some brands that are also part of Daimler Trucks that are more known for Americans include Freightliner, Western Star and the bus manufacturer Thomas Built Buses, Inc. (commonly known as Thomas; mostly known for their yellow school buses)
WAIT, THOSE ARE GERMAN?
@@tristanvoltaire2058 yup.
SETRA is the abbreviation of "Selbsttragender Aufbau" which means Self-supporting construction. It's not a truck chassis with a bus cabine on it, it's build like a car where everything belongs together to dsitribute the forces on the chassis. I have no idea wether this Setra is build with a Selbstragender Aufbau or not.
