Workshops would take truck chassis, engines, and gearboxes, then add a custom passenger body on top to create a bus. This was mostly done to save money and make use of available vehicles. Truck platforms were strong and already designed to carry heavy loads, which made them a practical base for passenger transport. Because of these conversions, the driving setup was not always standard. Gear levers and linkages were often modified or extended, which could result in unusual or less intuitive shifting positions.

Peterbilt drivers are super jelly
His transmission has different ZIP code 😂
“Hey you in the third row… Won’tcha throw it in reverse for me!”
Be a pretty fun ride till someone kicks you out of gear! 😂😂😂
Casually transporting gaz behind his seat and a whole life of luggage on the left
I haven't seen a bus with those central consoles since the USSR old busses. They were old, slow noisy, gulped diesel for nothing. But it was always fun to get ride when on school..
That’s definitely NOT a “short shifter!” 😅
His poor arm.
Eh... no, eso no se ve normalmente en Argentina 😂
At least that bungee cord helps lift that 30lb. shifter! 💪
ngl that looks pretty dope
Sounds like liquid Jeff Lynn
I lived in Argentina for a couple years and never saw anything like this. The long distance buses were better than anything in the US. Local buses were a different story. Plenty were old Mercedes buses with manual transmissions and the main thing was that many had custom shift knobs. Some cool ones were clear with dice inside. Of course the skill of the driver was pouring hot water from his Thermos into his mate between shifts.
"Yeah I drive long stick". This guy probably 😂😂😂
I think that qualifies as a little bit more than just "unusual" 😂
