CTS #821

Recorded on Route 5 to Wal-Mart. My camera cut off midway during the recording (due to low batteries), so excuse that. I recorded this bus on the northern portion of the 5 (Fashion Square-Albemarle Square-Wal Mart).

This is a 1998 New Flyer D35LF with a Detroit Diesel S50 engine and Allison B400R (4-geared) transmission.

They didn't even need refurbishment! These buses ain't have a lick of graffiti anywhere on them. The interiors were so well maintained that they still look fresh now, even after almost 12 years!

It's because it's the "FTA recommended" age to retire them. I feel you, it's a waste of money to retire perfectly good buses.
