lol u guys should check out the new septa DE41LF's those buses run!!!!! i remember when they were testing on I-95 they where do atleast 75-80mph!!! and their acceleration are quick as hell just like a car

[56yuoi]

buses dont go that fast on the expressway only go between 60 to 70 mph.

[56yuoi]

and the DE41LF's dont even go that fast only 50 to 60 mph.

[vze428s7]

thats because they're governed now for revenue service, thats why they only hit up to that speed, but trust me the new flyers can hit up to that speed easy without the governers on them especially the Cummins units

[56yuoi]

oh ok thats for the infomation.

[vze428s7]

no prob!!!

Nice vid, my favorite kind of bus ride is riding on the express ways going 20-40 mph down the shoulder to bypass traffic jams and going the speed limit when there aren't jams :)

[56yuoi]

yeah but sometimes when there isnt no traffic they go between 60 to 70 mph per hour.

[TheTransitCamera]

Yep, same here. I think Metro Transit and MVTA buses are governed between 65 - 70 mph though.

[56yuoi]

do you like riding the bus on the I-76 schuylkill expressway?

[TheTransitCamera]

LOL never been on it, I was referring to riding on my home system in Minneapolis.

Someday in the future though i'll get to SEPTAland and then i'd like to try that route :-)

[56yuoi]

yea i know what you mean the neoplan articulated bueses are slow as shit on the expressway anyway.

[56yuoi]

and yes i do love it.

[56yuoi]

how fast does the bus goes on the schuylkill expwy.the driver i have everyday on the 9 bus he goes 60 to 65 mph an hour fat as shit!

[vze428s7]

well im guessing the bus you ride art the neoplan articulated buses those are known to haul ass on the expressway lol!!!!!!

Actually the 2004 New Flyers are underway. They will sound like their younger sister 2005 models who has Cummins ISL/ZF transmission.
