[david123321ism]

I like the part between 0 :31 - 0:39.

[Bakuneon]

is Richmond gonna have any of these billmf?

[billlmf]

Nope, all of them are allocated in Surrey, Richmond is only 301 have those, but 301 is using the buses from Surrey~~

[Bakuneon]

so richmond is never gonna have any of these buses or nova buses? cause im getting pretty sick of the old ones

[willietl2]

new flyer should reintroduce the invero i want to see those in greater vancouver

[WMATAvids]

Awsome!

[juan833cheer]

Boy do I love the sound of that cummins engine!!!

[fedders4]

did any one notice the the secend bus at the start of the video is missing a head light?

[busrailfan]

Sure! But it's not missing! It is simply burned out and not working.

[fedders4]

k.thnks

[8v71buses]

The Cummins ISL engine in this bus sounds real quiet and smooth. Buts thats the whole purpose for Cummins engines

[aaronandyou]

in philly we have new flyer low floors from 5401-5959-and 8000-8045 8047-8119 8046 was in a fire and we have a mix of Cummins Isl and Detroit Diesel series 50 but or 2004 are sooon to be retrofitted with cummins isl and our 5600 and8000 series are cummins isl

[jamin108]

Also 9 of our gillig low floors are cummins ism and they sound almost like a d40lfr

[landoverdivision321]

Man both the D40LFR and the C40LF sound beast.

[jamin108]

We just got 2009 Gillig low floors and they have cummins isb bus they sound a little simalar to this

[sieman700]

here in boston we have new flyers numbered 0600-0910

[retroman1990]

We Chicagoians have NF's that sound just like this. They're numbered 1930-2029.

I especially love the sound at 0:58. It reminds me somewhat of the old MAN Americanas.

[LESTERNIDOY]

I wish they bring the new gray translink transit buses in Richmond. Richmond is the only city with most of the old white buses. I also live in Richmond and I think it is time that the new gray translink buses make a move to Richmond. I hate riding the white buses sometimes I they put black tape on the seat and it kindna stick on my pants

[cactuarizamoron]

tell that to translink, i think they're giving richmond most of the 1995- 99 d40's . man that suck! but i live in burnaby and burnaby is going to be an all novabus center, so we getting the nova hevs ^_^but i do not know about the de60lfr's, probably gonna split the order with burnaby and richmond since they opperate the b-line routes, so you guys might get some grey buses after all

[fedders4]

the front is soo dark!

[jamin108]

i think these buses are just as good as gillig phantom buses

[skytrainrox12]

Vitus152, I can't see because I am blind. But I can tel the difference between engines. I thought I heard that bus on the /28 passing on Venness and Boundary and I think I've ridden on one that was on the 028, too. But I can't remember. Lol. Do you actually like those D60 Lfs on the 135É I don't. I would prefer the older ones! lol! and you could be right about the 28. :)

[Setka1982]

looks & sounds like some of the new buse's they have down in Disney World..Really awesome

[skytrainrox12]

Gijoedouche, Surrey did not steal all of those buses from Burnaby. They are just hard to find (and I hate the Novas, too!). But these buses are used mostly on the 028 Joyce stn/Phibs, and 135 Burrard Stn/SFU. Plus, I hate these buses when they go over the bridge and they're too loud! Grrrr!

[Vitus152]

28? I don't think so.

However, your right about the D60LFR on the 135, I take it all the time.

[Dalek0122]

the nova buses are so lond when they kneell

[gunitsoldier5025]

reminds me of work

[gijoedouche]

surrey stole these wonderful buses from burnaby so that burnaby could have those ugly nova's!! BS

[LESTERNIDOY]

If Surrey stole these New flyer buses from Burnaby why dont Richmond steal it from Surrey. I love these new gray buses

[ferryport1987]

in vancouver do they still have the GM fishbowls running

[billlmf]

No, all of the GM Fishbowls are already out of the passenger service, just only 1 TDH4521 for Training Buses

[ferryport1987]

wow in Vancouver there are no GM fishbowls while in Toronto there are like about 100 left...well at least we can hear the fishbowls here on youtube because here in New York there are NO GM fishbowls

[jdeandre]

I love the way this drivetrain sounds when it switches into 3rd and 4th gear.

[pacjr310]

How about poppin a 6V92TA in there and see what happens lol.

[Tigerwarhawk]

None of the interior lights in the front of the bus are on. Only the ones past the rear door are on. Strange...I am aware of the 1st set of lights turning on and off when the front door opens. But notice that there is a large section of lights not turned on when the doors are opened. I don't like that at all.

[cactuarizamoron]

from what i heard i think the lights indicate where the passengers are and how many are on the bus so the driver knows

[Tigerwarhawk]

Here in my hometown, we have a fleet of Gilligs--High and low floor. On the low floors, the entire set of curbside lights turn off when the door closes at night unless the driver overrides it. I HATE THAT because it's too dark for me.

[ECDT1089]

Is this bus running on compressed natural gas?

[billlmf]

Nope, they're running by diesel~~

[MT0603]

C40LFRs run on CNG, hence the C. This a D40LFR, which runs on diesel.

[ECDT1089]

Right. I get it now.

[mwtoews]

Just don't take your bike on it during the night.

[creepynut]

What's wrong with taking your bike on it?

[enr3870]

It blocks the headlights.

[abci23billionmillion]

The bus sounds nice, But I like to take the skytrain!:D

[6V92TA]

anybody notice the new bus's headlight is out. lol

Nice vid. i love the way this bus sounds.

[kevlo86]

Very nice! That Cummins ISL power is even sweeter mated to a 6 speed Allison. About what speed does it get into 6th and governed top speed is?

[billlmf]

I guess it's around 80-90 km/h~~
