Was playing Vice City earlier and I found a bus to steal. So I stole it, I was just cruising around near the boat docks and got the rear stock up on the edge of the dock. It was then I noticed the bus was FR. I couldnt get it off of the little raised portion. But that inquired me to ask... are busses usually FR? I could have always sworn they were FF or 4WD maybe... but FR?
 
Lol..Most busses are RR....but the busses that have the elongated hood's are FR You know what I mean?..busses that are flush with the windsheild are RR..busses that have a "hood" are FR
 
ya notice how most busses have 2 wheels in the front and 4 int he back
 
Well the bus I stole in Vice City had an elongated front and just 4 wheels, that's why I asked. :p
 
Well the bus in Vice city wasn't a BUS was it..it was a colaboration of pixels on your screen to make what LOOKED like a bus...The matrix has you :D
 
If only it did, I'd be bending spoons all day instead of playing GT3 and killing all my brain cells.
 
A FF bus. That'd be kinda cool. Anyways, did you not notice the big driveshaft coming down? OH well, I've did some stupid things, too(look in the post"What car do you drive in real life?" or something like that.



Oh yeah, this year was my mamaw's 30th year of driving a school bus for my school.

there have been front wheel drive motorhomes. some of those cab over school busses are still front engine, RWD.

but, most motorhomes, transit busses, and coaches are rear engined, RWD.
 
Yeah in vice city hold break and gas to see what wheels start to spin. Its funny to see a bus smoke its tires.
 
Well thanks for clearing that up, I awlays thought busses were FF.
 
The ones that come at my school are RR.
 
Most of them are MR or RR. Only the Routemaster London buses are front-engined.

And it's off to the GTA forum with this...
 
*sigh* Oh well, I respect the mod's decisions. *Salutes*

Umm, I hate to break it to you, but you spelled it correctly the first time.

B-U-S-E-S. I know, it looks weird, but it's right.

spod! ;)
 
Routemaster buses are soul-destroying... Until my contract expired on Friday last I had to get in my 9 year old car to drive to the station, on a 60 year old train to get me to London, a 30 year old underground train then a 40 year old Routemaster. And I'm 25... Depressing...

FR is, mechanically speaking, the simplest and cheapest way to do it. Buses are run by businesses, which want cheap and simple... More modern buses have the engine mounted just ahead of the rear axle.

even BIGGER spod.
 
Are Double Decker buses FFs?
 
Depends on the age. The Routemaster bus - the classic London double-decker bus - is FR.

BTW did you know that in GTA Vice City, the only vehicle you CANNOT be arrested in whilst driving is the Coach?
 
Really? So they don't come in and throw you out?
 
Hehehe, I disagree... the only other is the tank... if you turn the turret around and get on the highway, you're set
 
But they can still get in and throw you out if you flip over or something...(believe me, I've flipped a tank when being chased, and having a head on with three other tanks...;))
 
Well truee, flipping a tank isn't too hard. But at least it explodes any car on contact besides another tank.
