Oh, I remember the old diesel buses like the one at 0:38! Those were super noisy mf'ers!! Then there were the strange ones that replaced them, where the windows didn't open... They were in use for only a few years, soon followed by the first articulated buses - I remember when those first appeared. Nostalgia!
This takes me back. Grew up in East Oakland and as a teenager would ride the AC Transit buses across the Bay Bridge (BART too if I felt like paying the higher fare), and the Metro with the old Boeing cars. Did Christmas shopping in Union Square. Would take the bus to and from Giants games at Candlestick when the A's were on the road. San Francisco and Oakland were (and are) like two different planets. Haven't been back home in 15 years - too expensive to live there!
I miss all those buses so much, I hate modern 'easy access buses'. Yes, it's great that they help out those in need of them, but they do old-school bus enthusiasts no good! Bring back the old buses! If only...
@gmcbuses I can just about guarantee that as long as I stay here I will NEVER have a car. The marginal benefit simply cannot outweigh the exorbitant marginal cost over riding Muni. Absolutely no need. And I really like taking Muni anyway! Driving would just stress me out.

I like the look of that old MUNI color scheme on the vehicles, especially the PCCs.

I remember those old Metro streetcars like that K shown at West Portal. Those were really cool!

Great video. If I had a car there, I would not drive it on those hills.

@gmcbuses You don't need a car here. People who drive in San Francisco are totally silly and delusional. Most of them really don't need to do that.

@dex1lsp I agree totally.
