VTA Bus Ride New Flyer D60LF #2321

10mins of video from a ride I took on a VTA New Flyer D60LF with a Cummins ISL 330 engine and Allison B500R transmission. This is part of the 22 route along El Camino Real in Palo Alto. Video starts at the Caltrain station by the Stanford Shopping Center.

What is the difference between the Cummins ISL 280hp and the ISL 330hp?

[jfrog1983]

AFAIK, the ISL 330 has bigger injectors and the engine computer is programmed to utilize the larger injectors, other than that the engines are the same.

I didn't think that Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority would have New Flyer buses.

They normally have TMC RTS, Flxible Metro, Gillig Phantom, and Gillig Advantage Low Floor.

[jfrog1983]

They bought these new Flyers because Gillig does not make a 60foot articulated bus.

Sunrise Systems does the automated voice on the buses and display/

Cool! I wonder about the MUNI busses, those seem to have a different system than these VTA ones.

The 22/Rapid 522 make a nice pair of lines together from Eastridge to Palo Alto. You've outdone yourself! =]

These New Flyers were all built in 2003
