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!

  • How can I apply for a job at mta

  • 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.

  • Nice video.great interview,

  • 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!

  • Nice video of Triboro Coach before MTA.
