Are you sure we have enough mirrors?

It must be a real pain to realign them all for a different driver.

Kagoshima Chuo bus....

 

Yes it is part of their multiple points check BEFORE they even start to drive the bus:

After checking, they have to fill up a checklist and hand it to the bus centre before starting driving duty ~  :)

This video was interesting! Around here the depot crews do the wheel and engine checks (and any quick repairs needed) before clearing a bus for service and the drivers aren't even allowed to fill up the tank. The umbrella holder was quite surprising too as i never seen it on other japanese buses. Is this common?

I think it should be part of their duty as drivers before the end of their driving duty. It's great since everyone will then be sure to know that the buses are surely filled up with diesel/ CNG even before moving off for duty ~~
