Blowing tranny fluid all over.

Heat with age will evidently cause any hose to fail all you can do is protect one the best way you can 

i've seen spiral hose wrap (metal) rub and wear on hoses...i hate that crap.
I've seen that pretty cheesy split sheath (plastic) on wire looms filled with every kind of muck and mire.
I hate that crap too.
does more harm than good.

wow, i learn so much here, my eyes are permanently popping. lol
A bus is designed to run a million miles so the comments about rubbing and such make perfect sense for a commercial vehicle in commercial service.

Wondering whether this is something to put onto the checklist in my feeble brain, it's going to the bottom. Reason is the use I will personally put on this bus under my ownership will be less than what was put on back in it's revenue service. Personally, wherever I see hoses in contact with any other surface, I'll check for any unusual wear and watch, Then pop another Bud and watch the game.

      Yeah that plastic coating is flimsy and thin.  It probably wasn't much good when it was new but with a bit of age and wear on it, BANG.

The type with the separate rubber liner is the preferable kind, for sure. Good old split rubber hose with ties will work as well. The Parker ParKlamp Tube and Hose Clamps are more elaborate and absorb vibration better.
