Man flexible are beautiful where I live we have newflyers gilligs and flexibles and a few rts but I grew up on buses similar to these they take me back

[rmx77]

where i am i have never seen anything other then new flyer buses and a few orion v buses. there are a few gilligs but i wish we had flxibles and nova buses vs the new flyer buses and such. back when we first got the 1995 new flyer buses they were so bad they had to replace engines cause of thrown rods. i wish they stuck with something other then the eagle diesel engines yuck

I think that this is one of the School trips on the Southbound Route 2 that bypasses Getty Square by staying on Prospect Street.

[Kote12TK]

I know someone on here who does. His name is nhlives, and he has videos of those FLXibles on Bee-Line Bus Route 10, the Croton Commuter, although the FLXible videos are on VHS tapes, according to what he's told me, however, I actually know of, and have, a VHS/DVD Player that can transfer data from a VHS tape to a DVD ROM.

Brings back memories of the Flxible Metros Transpo once had.

[Georgejoyrider]

That bus is the best i used to ride for the first time and then they retired that's not fair

[ferryport1987]

miss these buses...why beeline why

[qwandiddy]

Same with here in Chicago with their 1991s and 1995s retiring. I guess because since they went out of business in 1996, They just cannot find any repair parts for them anymore to rebuild, the same with Nova MCI Classics went out of business in 1997. What a shame. HATE THOSE LOW FLOORS. At least bunch of RTSes and Orion 5s are still around in US.

[ferryport1987]

yea is true...the low floors re dull...but sadly...that's the future...from one era to another

[pacjr310]

These never had Allison HT(B) or B-Series Transmissions?

[ClassicTVFan82]

Nope. And Flxibles would have used V-731s anyway (if they had Allisons).

These Metro-B's used Voith DIWA D863.3ADR transmissions.

[pacjr310]

That would be cool if they did.

[qwandiddy]

What year is that Flxible Metro? I didnt know that Bee Line still got them? But I do know NJ Transit still has theirs too.

[Jayayess1190]

[bigken6005]
