no their not LA has more paint designs then WMATA they use red for rapid, orange for local, blue for express. here in the video they only painted the new buses with the new painting and 3 doors are better then 2 for people can get out easily without getting it packed
one more thing I forgot to mention LACMTA has transit LCD TV on every bus for entertainment it gives you the news, weather, and movie trailers on the go and it even has a GPS to notify you where you are at the exact location as LA likes to say Go Metro!
Ok people are usually in a rush when riding a bus. TVs are pointless. You want the weather, go outside and feel it. You want movie trailers, look at commecials on your TV. You want a GPS? Look at Google maps and let your brain do the GPSing.
The Only CNG Engine available for transit bus ever since Detroit Diesel will not produce any more engines for bus application. In addition, DDC engines are only available in Daimler Vehicles only.
Those are some sexi ass buses.

WMATAvids 2 years ago
I'm loving that speed. I was doing the shuttles a while back and having not driving a bus in so long it made me feel alive.

Tight bus. It sounds like it's Series 60 powered.

Those buses should have ran on the S2, S4 instead of the U8.

Nothern Division can't fuel CNG buses that's why.
landoverdivision321 3 years ago
yea i know....
Only Four Mile Run and Bladensburg.
Hmmm.........
Well I'm just glad Metro hasn't retired the older NABI artics yets, even though their life span is coming to an end
VincentGregory90 3 years ago
They still got 10 years of life in them. I love those NABIs. I grew up riding those on the X2.
landoverdivision321 3 years ago
Yep I remember when the MAN's were still in service
VincentGregory90 3 years ago
why cant they fuel CNG?
alexdarkness666 2 years ago
CNG is a type of fuel and a garage has to have that fuel installed in it so that's why.

LA's NABI BRT buses are better then this bus in the video
alexdarkness666 3 years ago
O rly?
ECDT1089 3 years ago
yes it has 3 doors and the paint job is better then this one in the video
alexdarkness666 3 years ago
3 doors mean less seats and I heard that LA's are much slower. As you can see these accelerate fast.
ECDT1089 3 years ago 2
thats not true they go fast it depends on the driver they also copied the name metro local I know because I live in LA
alexdarkness666 3 years ago
Umm the paint job on these are better then LAs. John Catoe (WMATA's GM) use to be the GM of LA's Transit so yeah.

alexdarkness666 3 years ago
3 doors isn't really neccessary in my opinion. But whatever you say. I think our paint job is good as is.
landoverdivision321 3 years ago
Ha ha. You won't be saying that this time next year. If you don't know what I'm talking about then wait until this time next year and you'll see.

alexdarkness666 3 years ago
Yeah they can, if people wanted it.
ECDT1089 3 years ago
if WMATA wanted it to but I guess not
alexdarkness666 3 years ago
Damn does it matter? You want a cookie because LA has TVs on their buses?
landoverdivision321 3 years ago
Man will u just shut ur azz up dam cumming to dc videos and start dissing us like that

There is no point in having 3 doors on a bus. It's hella pointless.

I'm telling you man that sounds like the New Flyer C40lf but faster.
ECDT1089 3 years ago
I think when it takes off, it sounds a little (just a little) bit like the Neoplan AN460.
landoverdivision321 3 years ago
The ISM/Voith on the D40LFR still sounds better ;-)
