What bus did you get today? (2007-2018)

[Buzz Killington]

952
998

[CBRFlyer]

ewwww!! you got 998.

[smitho]

337
717 (a pretty good artic - plenty of go and the first I've driven with a National seat)
784 (a dear old girl)

[particleman]

943 - Bundah-Civic, nice and quiet, no bogans arguing with Eddies boys to screw up the peace
957 - Civic-Coles Gunners - nice seat before standing for a 5 hour deli close.
136 - Coles Gunners-home - it re-kindled my appreciation of Darts. While it was loud, it sounded more like some of the cars from the Gran Turismo games rather than the engine cutting out (it's like that on Flemington Road), plus the driver was (sorta) drifting on the quiet streets, it felt quicker than the Renaults and Scanias that I normally catch. But my favourite part of the Darts are the interior, the sides sorta resemble a Boeing 777's.
Enough of my rambling

[Buzz Killington]

ewwww!! you got 998.

[CBRFlyer]

998 comes in very close to the top of the gurus list of buses not to drive behind, 994, 992, 110 and 837

[Buzz Killington]

lol it seemed to go okay..

[CBRFlyer]

the sides sorta resemble a Boeing 777's.

Do they? lol, when i got a 777 last week i was out of it (although the sceams upon landing woke me up) due to sleep deprevation, i didnt notice, i will look on the way home

[particleman]

the panels on the sides near the roofs of the Darts have a similar shape to the overhead lockers on the 777's (at least on the Emirates ones)

821-Old girl had a max speed of 92k's

Old girl has a dodgey speedo! I have driven some that show speeds of 95kmh, however unless the engine limiter is malfunctioning it is not possible to obtain those speeds (unless downhill of course). That said, the top speeds of the voith powered buses will vary slightly at the same number of engine revs due to the gearbox not having a lock-up function.

[Bus 400]

We tested 821 & 796 through a GPS navigator going down the Parkway hill.

[Busnerd]

GPS is not 100% accurate, they are usually off by about 5 km/h

[Buzz Killington]

858 (after 911 brazenly ignored my clear signal)
374

[particleman]

While green buses (Irises/Scanias/MANs) are rare for taking Gungahlin routes (mainly Mk2s during the day, Darts at night), even rarer is when 2 greenies are taking Gungahlin routes.

372 - Amaroo-Lathlain
383 - Lathlain-Amaroo

[Buzz Killington]

779 - with ol' McDonald driving
973 - used to get this as my arvo school bus about ten years ago, and it still goes hard. a great bus.

lol, the usual driver of 970 had 123 today.......

[Buzz Killington]

He certainly did. When i was chatting to him the other day he said that he had to wait for a bus in the morning, so I take it he doesn't get to choose - he's had a different bus each day.

Ditto for the guy who had 970, although he always has a Mk2
