Powerful buses, specialy during the winter months. Just one problem....I am 6'2 and my knees would get squashed-up into the METAL backing of the seats on most of these buses. At least now you don't have to climb stairs to get onto the newer buses. But, these retro buses are higher up for better veiw! :) The best of both buses.
FINALLY! It's great to have a video of a Winnipeg Classic, even if theirs are slowpokes. By the way, it's actually a TC40102N, not A, since it has no A/C. I'm sure it was a simple mistake you made.
@supermattymattywg How long are they going to have them for until retirement? Those are my favorites!

@knightclassic1 - Hard to say exactly. But they should be around at least another year I would think.

Love this, Sounds just like Toronto TTC's 1987 Classics (Retired early 2009)

@supermattymattywg - Yep for MCI's that actgually have those vents. Calgary has 117 MCI's, only 10 of which actually have the vents you describe.

@busrailfan The 10 of them with Vents on them are from Connecticut Transit, appears to be an 1990 MCI Classics.

@knightclassic1 - Yep that's correct. However a couple of them have had their vents sealed now too.

And BTW, this particular unit ran quite well for a Classic with the 6V71N engine. She was a good runner.

I guess you just have to be patient with them. They're very good buses.
