[Jayayess1190]

@vze428s7 Yes this is true I actually rode it on the 23, but I don't remember what it sounded like.

[brando3491]

[Jayayess1190]

@brando3491 Yes, the biggest fleet of Neo's in the state.

SEPTA Neoplan AN 440 =

EPIC CHARIOT.

R.I.P Neoplans forever. my last was 3428

[darnell899]

@engineersdash8 But them 6V-92's bring music 2 my ears. An' I use 2 call them Neoplans the Blue & red bus when Metro had them.

[engineersdash8]

@darnell899 Yeah I deffinantly like the ones that they had in L.A. They had the cummings engine that ran on the CNG. They had some of the strongest engines that I have heard in a long time and ran like a champ.

[darnell899]

@engineersdash8 YES!!!!! Those was my FAVORITE buses back then. What pissed me off was they retired all of 'em an' ain't nobody recorded the sound of them joints, an' I only been on 'em 2 or 3 times.

[urbancombat1000]

shit i wish NJ Transit made 40 foot Neoplans too. i love the high pitch noise after second gear. i have 2 say Septa had the best sounding Neoplan in history!!

[ItsDaRonBitch]

The sounds this bus makes brings back so many memories from my childhood LOL

[phillyzfynest1]

@Jayayess1190 me too!!! lol it sounded like an Orion V to me. You can hear every shift and strain and turbo in this engine. But when I rode it and it got to Washington Ln going up hill, it struggled and stayed in 2nd gear without hitting the lock-up differential until it finally past Johnson Street.

THE DAY I TURNED 11

I remember riding many Neos on the 66. They were awesome.

[MyKevinChicago]

sounds just like the neo's lacmta used to have.
