at 0:43 wat type of bus is that?

[1910agl]

Esses onibus parecem carroças...

[Weegee010]

is 1:01 a NABI? sorry about all these questions!

[jdgator95]

@Weegee010 No, it is an Orion.

[Weegee010]

@jdgator95 it's the acceleration that got me.

[Weegee010]

is 0:47 a NEOPLAN bus? cause it sure looks like one.

[jdgator95]

@Weegee010 Yes it is.

[Weegee010]

@jdgator95 the reason i ask this is the back "grille" has a striking resemblance to the NEOPLAN buses i see in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

[pnutboipmg09]

where did u see those nova buses at?????

[jdgator95]

Near the Smithsonian and the Verizon center

[sieman700]

At 2:30 , where were the rts buses?

[jdgator95]

At the bus lot of the Vienna Metro station

[bigken6005]

Has to be the South side of the station since north is just CUE. Those RTS's used to run the breadth of most of the runs out of WFC. I last rode one on the 950. Now, it's mainly Flyer territory. Even the Orion 5s are scarce now.

[WMATAvids]

nice video man!!! and nice shots of the buses. i liked your pics tho

[jdgator95]

Thank you

In regards to Fairfax Connector's buses, I liked the old Burger King livery that used to adorn their first fleet of buses, the 1985 Orion I's.

[jdgator95]

Is it the same as  the paint scheme on the Orion V at 2:06? Do they still run any Orion I's?

[ClassicTVMan81]

Yes. As to FC still running the 1's, no. The last ones, scattered units from 1985 and 1990-91, were sold off in 2007 when they received the D35LFRs. Some of the 1's were replaced temporarily by ex-Los Angeles GMC/TMC RTS II buses (especially for the 1988 and 1989 Orion I's) prior to the New Flyers arriving on FC property.

[sieman700]

very cool buses wmata has

[jdgator95]

Yeah, I like those Metro buses better than Boston's NABIs and Neoplans, I like MBTA's new flyers a lot though
