It's a much different vehicle than you are used to. It is just a matter of learning what the vehicle feels like and handles like. And you learn to give your self some extra room for cornering, and height under bridges.
I drive a Tractor Trailer, but I would assume that driving a bus would be like driving a loaf of bread. LOL Good Luck

In essence, driving a PCV uses the same skills as for any other vehicle.
There are four basic elements to remember as you sit in the driving seat:
the kerb is eight and half feet to your left
there is up to forty feet of vehicle behind you
there could be ten feet of bodywork above your head
you are responsible for the safety of up to ninety passengers sitting behind you.
These elements need to be treated with care; you must meet and overcome the challenges that they pose, to pass the PCV test.

no it is not, but since there is no center mounted rear view mirror that you can use to see out the back of the vehicle with, you must learn to use your side mirrors. Other than that it is easy! It is bigger so turns are wider and not so sudden. No jerking the wheel to turn, they are top heavy too.

The difference is the shifting of transmission and the clearence from back and sides rest is all the same like car. Its not really difficult to learn.

NO but it is a whole lot difficult than driving a car. You have to make very wide turns and stop sooner. Because there is a lot of mass. And Collision and mass are not friends.
