Why Buses Have Bigger Steering Wheels
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ค. 2024
- Have you ever stopped to think about how much we rely on buses? Whether you use one for school or utilize public transit, buses are so engrained in our daily lives that there’s a lot of questions we could-and should-be asking about them!
Do you know what exactly is “School Bus Yellow”? It’s not really that primary yellow color. School buses are their own unique shade of yellow-you might even see it on a crayon! Also, there are a lot of laws that surround buses. And the rules are particularly tight for school buses! For example, steering wheels on school buses are subject to yearly inspections. By the way, why are they so big?

SUMMARY:
- When power steering became standard in the ‘50s, a big steering wheel had to be added to accommodate the rotation of those huge wheels. It helps the bus driver stay in control!
- The steering wheels on buses are generally between 16 and 22 inches across.
- Research shows that buses are one of the safest ways to travel, even without seatbelts; up to 40 times safer, in fact, than traveling by car!
- If you live in the U.S., school buses are actually required to be yellow by law! This may have to do with how easily we can spot the color yellow-it’s one of the first colors on the spectrum that we see.
- When it comes to school buses, there are different regulations that dictate their size. The average school bus weighs between 14,000 and 19,500 pounds.
- The average school bus is 35 feet long and can carry 64 passengers. Obviously, students can’t stand while riding in a school bus, but you can in public transit!
- If you wanna become a school bus driver, you must be at least 18 years old, and pass a physical and vision test. You’ll have to apply for a commercial learner’s permit and pass a thorough written test.
- There are records of a man named John Greenwood operating a scheduled bus route from Manchester to Pendleton in the UK as early as 1824. These would’ve been the initial horse-drawn models.
- School buses can hold between 60 and 100 gallons of diesel fuel.
- The original composer of the song “The Wheels on the Bus” is unknown, but it was possibly written by a woman named Verna Hills. Published in 1939, the lyrics are a little different everywhere, It’s still sung in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia today!

Amazing explanations 👍🏼👏
Why do buses dont have seat belt
Why do bus have big steering wheel
Why do buses have tires?
Cuz wheel on the bus goes round and round,round and round, round.....
@@ryxn190 lol
Why does bus has air?
When you renewal your CDL, you don't have to do the written test or driving test unless you have a hazmat endorsement, but you'll have to do a road test again if you have a preventable accident.
Med 1 Shuttle buses have seat belts. If you sit up front on a Voltran bus where people who are physically handicapped sit, you're facing the aisle so there is no airbag in front of you.
I learned something new today! Thanks bright side! 💙👍
Have “so big” steering wheels? 🧐
You’re trying too hard for content, man
This video isn't as epic as most on Bright Side but still interesting
I agree, this one was a complete waste
Yeah...until you get a ticket in a regular car and need a quick impromptu defense
There is also the 47 seat luxury bus run by the likes of Greyhouund and other intercity lines. Some local public transit systems use them on longer routes.
In California, these can only go 55, becuase they are 3 axle vehicles, and anything 3 axles or more can only do 55 in California.
8:30. still sung in uk "points at sweden". We sing it here in sweden though.
Fascinating
Public transportation is important and so is safely!!
Usa: why are school buses yellow
Greece: why school buses are buses that people take to go to work
I dont know where you got a lot of your stats, but as not only a previous bus mechanic but also a driver of city busses, perhaps I can clue you in. The standard, non artic buses are typically 40ft long. Any longer and a class b license wouldn't be acceptable. The jointed buses are typically 60ft long, and are, almost literally, 2 30ft busses duct taped together with parts from an accordion. The standard 40ft bus can fit up to 60 people while standing. The record I've hauled in 1 go is 58 people, and I had a person literally standing on the standee line.
ANYONE ELSE SO HAPPY ITS FRIDAY!?

2:10 this is why "bright side" is yellow so we could count on bright side 👍🏻
(Bright side) advertising inside the bus 👌👏👏👏
All my buses got very own customizable steering wheel.
👈👈😉😍
It's so that you can pull off some sick drifts on a double decker bus
Steering is exactly the same size of rim size of wheel in all vehicles.
This is to make exact percentage turn where the driver requires.
Smaller steering will turn wheel lesser portion and larger the steering will result in more turn than what it is required.
Hence it’s kept in exact dimensions..
ME: What do i post on my channel today
BRIGHTSIDE : Lets make video on why we move our hands
I used to be wonder about this matter
Bright Side your Awesome
No one:
TH-cam recommendations at 3:00am:Why buses have big steering wheels
Love ur videos..
Great vid
In the Uk, well in London, school children use public transport instead of private school transport. I think this is because it saves gas and has lower emissions
I didn't know there were buses in 1826... I learned something new.
Wow I didn’t know that I love ur video’s there so interesting

It helps the driver turn safely proceeds to show a guy speeding down the street while swerving back and forth
Can you do one on how to pass a semi trucks????? Pleaseeeeee
So nice
I can answer this ques without watching video and that is to increase the torque or movement of force whose formula is the product of force applied and prependicular distance between point of application of force and the line of action
I’m here before 1K!! That’s amazing for me
That is why bright side logo is yellow😂

Crown Coach and Gillig: Are we a joke to you?
The oldest bus company in the Asia is the philtranco started in 1914 they have many routes in luzon visayas and Mindanao it was own by two Americans, Albert Louis Ammen and Max Blouse
Could you please share how you animate your videos
- You put UK pin on Sweden...
- Diesel emits more small particles & atmospheric pollutants (gasoline emits more CO2 & greenhouse gaz) so it is not that better and safer...
U should do the save the tree thing
Bright Side can you do a video about the ocean because we only discovered like 95%
Thank you bus driver
Name of the back round music Please.
8:11-8:52 So thats why the song was used in my educational short film.
I was gonna ask the same thing, *why do busses has steering wheel?*
3:45 in Abu Dhabi, UAE🇦🇪 most school buses🚌 could fit only 24 passengers
Bright side is best.. happy Diwali to all!!
This was yesterday or the day before I think but. The bus was literally travelling at some speed, and here some person runs infront of the bus, could of got hit if the bus driver didn't hit the brakes. The brakes slowed the bus down but didn't really stop the bus. I was slang forward when the brakes we're hit. (school bus)
Mining dump trucks have small steering wheels so explain that *Darkside*
Your name is genius
if a bus was going that fast all the passengers would fall if your standing and if you were sitting you would be moving from one seat to another
Can You do The a Story Of Franz Stigler, The man who Escorted a B-17 Called Ye Old Pub, Please!
Hehehe I’m in Australia.... soooooo no yellow buses :)
Why Bright Side's logo lights up without a wire.
Nobody:
Littarly no one:
Me: I've never been on a bus.....
I’ve felt that way
Nowadays, European manufactures like Volvo, Scania, ADL etc. equip their buses with smaller steering wheels to reduce driver’s driving effort.
Next topic:why does busses have engines?
Next topic:why are they're colors on the bus?
And again:why does busses has a wind shield?
Not hating guys I think he's just like explaining all of them
We want your whole team's Faceoff
BRIGHT SIDE, how do you know this many facts? You must be very smart!
Did you know that most transit buses do not have fuel gauges?
0:18 bright side bus
Love bright side
The Greyhound bus has power steering and my truck at work does.
2:32. Door on right side, bus driving on left side.
Never entered my mind ! There are seat belts in greyhound busses why not school busses?
How much does a school bus cost and wher can i buy one?
If yellow or almost yellow on school bus helps me see it than why do I always miss the bus?
Super
“Not breathing harmful fuel or gasses”?!
All I remember is smelling the diesel
For better torque ...
yellow I look up I can see my YELLOW painting xd
We are in a party with my friends the brightsiders
Friday night.
I already knew this,we need new content
“Such Big”
I use public busses to go to school everyday for 2 hours back and fourth
Wow, school buses have their own shade of yellow.
I wish they didnt invent power steering because it used to be an amazing arm workout and when I'm too lazy to go to the gym I'm never too lazy to drive. I dont even approve of the cheat reverse line up so you can see where you're going. In fact I think ppl should have to learn to drive on a standard so they can really learn how to drive b4 they get handed a license for mediocrity. In canada you can get an E liscence to drive a small school bus. Educational and emergency vehicles they're the same size as an ambulance. I thought they were getting rid of diesel a few yrs ago! I like it! I'd prefer to be unknown if I wrote that song!
That’s cool
I love the purple bus
Buses? I had an older Mercedes Benz 300D. It's steering wheel was larger than those today. LOL!! Like I was cranking a semi truck into the driveway.
I love Bright Side videos but the music was so awful it made it hard to pay attention. It was like a 10 minute long guitar solo 🥵🤯
Haitaribussi (nivelbussi, articulated bus).
I guess it for a reason, but we don't know until you tell us.
when you put a pointer for the uk in the last question why did you put it on Sweden instead of the U.K.
What's next : why is the world round
It is also important to paint this school bus colour for ambulance
Nobody:
Bright side: why buses have so big steering wheels?
Me:😑
All large vehicles like buses or trucks have larger steering wheel. Not just buses.
In norway its seatbelt on every busses. If you dont use them you Get a ticket an that cost over 80 dollars
Yeallow is the hardest color to see in some cases...
Edit: for me at least
