New Jersey Transit Flxible Metro-B 40102 #3505 on the 181 (Interior #2)

Flxible Metro-B 40102 #3505 was on the NJ181 traveling along I-80/I-95 and US Routes 1&9 to the toll plaza to travel across the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, NJ. This clip takes us right into the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal.

It was a hot but less humid day in the city. The A/C was pumping so I could not get that good of a sound recording but now that these buses are about to be retired...I'm satisfied! Enjoy!

Man, that sound takes me back to those hot summer days in the '90s when I was a poor college student takin' TARC buses everywhere, feelin' the instant relief when I step aboard an air-conditioned Flx Metro B with that exact same sound, livin' on peanut butter sandwiches and drinkin' Tang from a Gatorade jar. Too bad we didn't preserve any of ours. :(

Fella, being right by New York City and having so many natural and man made ports, NJ utilizes a great deal of trucks. Additionally, being one of the densest states in the U.S. it has a great deal of businesses needing a great deal of deliveries.

[bjb91]

Wait....why are there so many trucks?

P.S I don't live in NJ but I might sound stupid asking the question.

[bustitution]

I AGREE

Even though these buses are old and about worn out......NJ transit should retire some of them but not all of them. New Jersey Transit wouldn't be the same without the Flxible Metro-Bs
