I remember when I was little I still recognize that transmission. :)
-
When I started busfanning around 2005, I never noticed how awesome these buses were. Now that they're long gone, it's too late to get at least one ride on them. RIP =(
-
I remember driving these around DC as a operator before these dam high tech buses came in service.
-
Man I loved riding on that bus when I was small.Nice pic I loved the color scheme of the Metro buses back then now I don't like the color scheme.
-
That is, if you're talking about units #8971 to 8975. The 1988 Metro B's WMATA had that employed Cummins engines were units #9241 to 9269.

I think those 8900 had Cummins with Voith transmissions. They had a high truck style idle. You got a free back massage with the ride. :-)

Man those 6V92 Flxibles are the bomb. I really miss riding the ones that MARTA used to have

Buses 8700-8774 and 8800-8874 were Metro A's as they were delivered in 1986. All the other WMATA Flxibles in the 8700, 8800, 8900, 9200, 9300 and 9400 series were Metro B's, spanning the years 1987-90.

thanks for the extra info. I personally think the 8700, 8800, 8900, and 9200 sounded better than the 9300 and 9400.

I have no idea. my older cousin and I recorded it in 2003 on the R12. It was either the 8700 or 8800 series I think.

It could even be an 8900 series if 8900-8925 or 8950-8970, or a 9200 series if 9201-9239 or 9271-9289, or maybe it's even a 1989 Flxible Metro B 30', numbered from 5150-5184.

yeah i used to love the baby flxible-b's. I wish buses had longer life spans like subways do. If a bus had a 40 year life span instead of just 20 that would make my life. lol.
