  • Today, we drive along the Shuttle-UM route 104 in a 2016 Gillig Advantage diesel. This one has 140k miles (226k km) on the odometer, and is the cleanest of the '16 fleet. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Cummins ISL9 with the Voith D864.5 transmission on this autumn evening on the university campus.

    WOW! This bus trip POV just seems VERY special. From the people laughing on here to the sound of the engine, and was made even more spectacular by who was behind the wheel. Eugene, SO glad to hear you back, my friend. You made this blind bus-nut's day! :-D Smiling from ear to ear on this! Hope all is well. Great ride as always. ...I wish I could see what the configuration of the seats were on this, and what kind of seats were on there. :-D

    The engine sounds good even in the front, at least on 40 ft buses and under. shame people don’t do this when recording onboard rides or drives of buses.
    Also do you think they should order buses with the Allison Transmission again?

    I can tell that this is a newer gillig because of the lights that shine down from the top of the doors and light on the bottom right corner of the back right wheel and a few other things. Why do the left blinkers blink slower than the right ones, because the buses in my town blink all at the same speed. Also, love the bus and great driving.

    • @eugew23
      @eugew23  ปีที่แล้ว

      It is only for the light test function that the signals flash at different speeds. They operate normally when you're driving!

    I like this bus much. It must have been made with very good quality since it is able to work for so long. I wonder if all those new modern electric buses will last as long or not 🤔

    • @Defianthuman
      @Defianthuman 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Most motors can last far longer than the batteries that energize them and batteries last at least 10 years on most EV's you can get a 2012 Tesla Model S with some degradation but plenty of usable range. Proper industrial motors can go for years of operation(like the ones use to pressurize the water supply) but I expect them to last a long time.

    Is there a light on the dash to indicate a stop request? I thought it was there on Gilligs. Awesome video!

    • @eugew23
      @eugew23  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There are. Low-floors usually mount all indicator lights overhead.

    • @airbus7373

      Cool, thanks. I have seen low floors with the light beside the speedometer but maybe that's how my local agency (DASH) specs them
