Re: Longest School Bus newer than 1994
...in my corner of the world, überlong buses are a no-no!
The longest you see are Cross-nation 45-ft 2-floor unts with 4 axles - highway only!
A few month ago I saw some "cross-country machines" in Bolivia!!
TRUCK-engine-trans-combo, 2 axles, 2-floor bus, but the lower deck is ALL for luggage and cargo, and the whole bus is LIFTED, like spring-over axle!!
Leaning like crazy on the highway at speed, but going the "normal" country roads they need the added ground clearance - quite an interesting study!
Hope to get back there again sometime soon, then I will search them out and take a load of pics!

Re: Longest School Bus newer than 1994
My camera phone NEVER takes photos in the rain.  Reason 1 to invest in a proper camera. Or maybe a GoPro. I made faces at the GoPro the local coppers are now wearing everywhere.
You better bring us some pics next time or you're getting a rolled up newspaper to the snoot!
Damn, I'll have to look into the GoPros now. *Long suffering sigh* A researcher's job is never done. 9_9

Push on three! One...two...thre- I said on three! Why did you start pushing on two?
WHOA! Looks like the road going through the Gorge (was that the Gorge? I dunno) back in NC!  ....damn, I actually miss that road.
Uh, no.
OH HELL NAH. Mud AND burning engine?? NO.

Re: Longest School Bus newer than 1994
Man, that last one is a frame grab from some very bad news. The passengers got out before the driver attempted the maneuver.

Re: Longest School Bus newer than 1994
Hey aaronsb,
....didn't see that one (youtube vid) before, but after going through that stretch a few times I am not the least surprised!!
I even commented a few times to co-travelers, that on THIS side of the pass there are at least tress and brush to stop a vehicle or let it slide slowly!
On the other side it is small bushes, dirt and rocks and free-fall all the way down!!
This is in Spanish, but the 1st part shows a bus EXACTLY like the one I used, lifted!!
Cheers,
thjakits
