The fleet is in awful shape, the engines sound like they are finished.

LI Bus 282 ... transmission issue, shudders when trying to get up to speed

LI Bus 304 engine makes whistling sounds

And the worst bus, 285, had it on Wednsday and it sounded like a piece of garbage. Then I was "lucky" enough to get the same bus today.

Hi pineywoods bus, i'm new to the forum.... nice to meet you.

Anyway, i had 285 a few times...... except the engine ran great then... it just had a problem with the axel, and every time you hit the break, the back of the bus would konk out, and it would swing, almost wiping out the cars beside us..... one fun ride

Yeah 285 sounds like it has an axle problem as well, they never got around to fixing that either.

Does it still swing like it did when I had it?? Cause we almost swung into a few cars..... it was more awkward than scary!!!! i m surprised it's still got the problem.... figured the drivers would have written it up by now!!
