I really miss these buses. They were quite fun to ride and listen to.

Teehee it amuses me to no end that the older New Flyer D40 and D40LF used imitation-wood as the side panels ;)

I remember this bus (3165) used to be in Richmond and the last time I saw this bus was around 2007

[ksdbfsfsdjvsdfvncvds]

sounds like Bc transit's 1990 Orion 5's same drivetrain obviously Detroit diesel 6V92TA and Allison HTB-748!

[kadooment95]

Boy do I miss Ottawa's Orion V's after hearing this....

[USSENTERPRISEB]

I like these buses because they shift into second later than an Allison 747, GO 6V92TA BUSES!!! FTW!!!!

Great Video and very nice sounding bus =]

I'm just wondering,

does it rain a lot in vancover?

[newflyer3000]

That's what Vancouver is infamous for lol!

These buses will be slowly retired and eventually getting replaced by the Nova hybrid buses on order for 2009!

[villageway124]

aww man

those D40s were nice

[Jomar574]

What da hell would Translink replace the D40 buses in Vancouver. There only an average 15 to 16 years old. Translink is just wasting money on new buses

[gijoedouche]

I love these buses! sadly they're being retired as of 2009. Time to take the last trips before these buses reach the end of the line. sigh*.
