This video simply illustrates the belt squeal problem these busses seem to have. Also notice the puff of smoke that belches from the exhaust!

This is #6516 after we got off in downtown Los Angeles, CA.

  • Aw man i love those belt squeals omg! Our series 60 powered neo's do tat.

  • @WMATAvids I tried to get more recordings of squealing ones but lately it seems I get the non squealers and a squealer will usually pass by across the street! Murphy strikes again...

  • they have these same buses on line 111 and i live a block from the nearest stop and i can hear the noise all the way to my house lol

    im used to the noise now

  • My friend lives by the 20 Line so I recorded some more Neoplans over this past weekend and ended up on 6491 which was squealing pretty good. All the rest seemed to be fixed, but I saw many squealing New Flyers, mostly in the older Metro colors.

  • Neoplan aren't the best in the LACMTA fleet,these had broken A/C before and yet there dirty.

  • Boston's MBTA. made an order for some Buses and TC (Trolley Coaches). While Neoplan was starting or was building the Buses. MBTA had cancelled their Order. And Neoplan had to give all the money back. Neoplan had a little money problems before. Due to other small things. But Boston really hurt they bad enough. to cause them to close down. I think a lot of companies was hurting for business at that time. But Neoplan was one of the company. That bit the bullet and bit it hard. That is what I heard.
