Title: Cameras Are Coming
Post by: Buzz on October 01, 2024, 01:32:24 AM

I understand cameras that face frontwards (through windshield) and rearwards (into the bus) have already been installed in some buses as per our most recent MOA (page 6).

How many GPS's do we need on a bus? A bus has it's own GPS ... remember the notices we used to get on our cards from Damien about hard cornering or braking, etc.?

Then there's a GPS on VIA phones that transmit all that info. The only difference I see here will be the cameras  ,,, with GPS.

Yes ! I get that but while you're avoiding Potholes and Depressions on the roadway you're swerving and making abrupt movements! There's no winning for us ! have you ever driven in the Bus lane on Hylan from Dongan Hills to New Dorp ? It's like off roading or driving on the moon !

That the problem people coming up with these devices never have driven a bus. They can read off a screen what happens but they can't compare that to real driving in the moment in the bus situation

Of course I was only being facetious.

Yes, I drive in that bus lane every morning and it's as bad as you say!

How about the back of the yard at Arthur Kill ? It would be like getting the high score on a pinball machine!

Truth!

I don't understand. They have a big pay-loader that could easily smooth those bumps down. Why is it like that???
