Driver was way too loud and he was trying too hard to be funny. His jokes were bad and distracting to the history I was wanting to hear. He also kept calling out how bad the drivers in cars were acting. It just made for an unpleasant ride. His name was Cogs.

Murph on first bus and Quint on Second bus were very good. Fact-filled and funny. What didn't work was that our first bus, #512, had horrible screeching brakes that were intolerably loud. You guys need to fix those brakes!
