School bus at Crowell (Nova Scotia) - 10 Sep 1992 (177-02)

Thursday 10 September 1992 (around 1330) – A school bus seen from the front seat of MacKenzie Bus Line (Bridgewater, Nova Scotia) coach number 30, a 1976 MCI MC5B Courier Challenger. This was in Crowell as the coach worked the 0900 Halifax-Yarmouth trip 12. The handle in the centre of the dashboard is to operate the entrance door.

The school bus driver is letting our coach pull out from outside the local agency which is out of shot on the left. Unfortunately as we arrived our driver got ‘stitched up’ by a lady driving a car. He approached the intended stop and slowed down on the main road with the intention of swinging across the road to park outside the shop to make the parcel deliveries. He courteously waited for an oncoming car to pass before the manoeuvre . However the lady didn’t continue but pulled in to the spot where the coach was aiming for. Consequently he had to park the coach in the carriageway facing the wrong way. (Ref 178-01)
