What camcorder did you use to film this? The quality is perfect all around!!!

[newflyer3000]

It's not even a camcorder at all! I use a Canon G9 for all my videos, recorded at HD mode (1024x768 )!

@JamesLewis1000 Sounds like the ones here in Philly too.

[JamesLewis1000]

Sounds exactly the same as our New Flyer buses we have here in Connecticut. But our ACs are in the rear.

My county's Transit system has retired all 1996 D40LFs and 1997 D30LFs and never replace them with new ones. Now we only use a few 1997 D35LFs and Gilligs. PSTA is really making me mad. ):

Please excuse my bad wording in that last comment.

Is the Allison B400R is a Better transmission then the Voith D863 transmission? Bc transit's flyer buses all have the Voith D863 with the same engine in Victoria!

I lovee these buses... second to the old D40s :P Sometimes, i wonder if it's the design that makes some buses of this model have the weird whistling noise. All the newer buses in Vancouver (all the ones with the restyled ends) have reallly sucky brakes that squeak soo loud even though they are new.
