Best Bus Driver in Queens pt.1

This video was named by some guy on the bus ride talking to the film maker of this docu-drama. Made by a NY Film School student, Siji Kompanal, who got on my bus and told me she needed a subject for her final project. She asked if she could film and interview me about my life while I drove, So I got permission from the president of Triboro Coach, who gave me the OK, as long as we met on an early Sunday morning when I would not be too busy and safe... She stayed on most of the day.
Note to the MTA: I am a former Triboro Coach "Cowboy Driver", I am a completely reformed MTA - Safety First Bus Operator, rather than the way I drive in this video... I now drive with both hands on the wheel at all times, scan my mirrors every 3 seconds, etc., etc., etc, and I don't talk as much as I do on this film!

Hey Gary, it's real nice to see you driving her...shes a old GMC RTS II-04 bus from the 1980's! I LOVE the moaning sound of her Detroit Diesel 6v92TA engine with the Allison V730 transmission. I don't think i ever got on your bus Gary, but Gary I will tell you that I used to ride TCC and GBL when I lived up there! I gotta get back in NYC before they scrap them GMC buses!

Too bad more public transit people can't be like this.

I was wondering my you might prefer the work gloves for driving. Don't like cut offs?

Gary, It's John your neighbor. This is great stuff! I gotta watch all the parts.

It was a sad day until I met Gary today! He's a real character, a true piece of New York City. Very upstanding guy and made me smile today. This one's for you, Gary.

Gary is adorable, everyone should have his good nature. Usually, he is the only person on the bus that you know is breathing. Stay happy, Gary and drive safely!
