Much is made of the men and women who drive the bus. In past years, each driver’s shift has taken on a life of its own, with its own memes and running gags. We’ve switched it up over the years—from 4-hour shifts, to 24-hour shifts—and this year we’re switching it up again!
Desert Bus 6 features 12-hour driving shifts, so we can get more faces in front of you. And as an added bonus, each driver is going to have their very own, super-special giveaway item, and it’s going to be up to them who wins it and how.
Here’s the faces you can expect to see behind the controller (though, as always, there’s ample chance of surprise guests):
- Friday @ 9:00PM — James
- Saturday @ 9:00AM — Paul
- Saturday @ 9:00PM — Matt
- Sunday @ 9:00AM — Cam
- Sunday @ 9:00PM — Ashton
- Monday @ 9:00AM — Kathleen
- Monday @ 9:00PM — Johnny
- Tuesday @ 9:00AM — Bill
- Tuesday @ 9:00PM — Graham
- Wednesday @ 9:00AM — Tally
- Wednesday @ 9:00PM — Alex
- Thursday @ 9:00AM — Morgan
- Thursday @ 9:00PM — Jeremy

Maybe I’ll play Desert Bus on my iPhone for 12 hours, for the authentic Desert Bus For Hope experience! …But I’ll probably just watch you guys play instead… Yeah, that sounds better for all involved…
Interesting change, and ultimately I think it’ll be better for your guys’ overall health. Hopefully we can break the point record too.
Oh dear, so many new drivers. Hope they’re practicing. ;p I’m just teasing, though. Sure everyone’ll do great and the crashes will be entirely unrelated to who’s driving.
Getting James to be the first driver, it won’t be so bad in the long run (unless he drives again) 😛 lol
Anyone want to put down money for a crash at 5PM on Tuesday? 😛
Starting Driver – James. Who didnt see that one coming?
Crash estimate: somewhere between 5PM and 9PM Tuesday.
Awesome, it will be really cool to see more of Alex and Paul driving the bus.
My thoughts exactly, Dane — we should start the Crash Betting Pool now, right? ‘Cuz I’ve got 10am on Tuesday and again at 10am on Thursday.
But I look forward to James’ insane 24 hour+ shifts!
The book is now open on how many crashes will happen during Bill’s shift.
I have faith in bill this year, not only will Bill not crash but no one will crash on his shift.
Y’all remember Bill didn’t crash last year, right?
Clearly no one has faith in Bill. Even though he proved last year that he is a better driver than Morgan, who crashed no less than three times in his shift. Personally, I’m curious about how Graham and Alex will do. That, and really hoping Alex’s shift is basically 12 hours of Derpline.
12 hours of Derpline? Bus yeah! 😀
A friend is betting Bill’s imminent crash will be at 3:03pm. He’s very exact.
Just remember “He’s never crashed the desert bus, and never would.” … Things for Matt to live up to…
What no Kate driving? Hopefully she might be the ???? 😛
Looks like Morgan gets the “Value Added” Bonus based on the posted auction times.
AwW I was hoping to see Kate drive this year. Great line up though. No crashes this year,!
Awww, bummer … No extra-length for James AND James having the first shift? Where’s the fun in that?
But there’s a ton of drivers that may or may not be crucial in crashing. Looking forward to it.
James has forgone doing the last shift this year because he was kind enough to let Jeremy take it… because Jeremy’s work schedule has kept him from being able to do any other driving shift during the entire week.
So while we sympathize with your sorrows over not getting to make James suffer doubly, we’re glad that Jer will get a chance to spend some time in the driver’s seat as well!
Bill believes that those “crashes” in the past are his way of bringing some drama to the desert bus.
