MARTA no 3023

my first time ever riding a MARTA C30LF and my first time ever riding a C30LF. Ive rode D30LFs for Dayton MVRTA and Blacksburg Transit. Here, we're taking a street ride onboard 3023, a C30LF who's year built im not going to guess. Metroliner XL will know. She's powered by a Cummins C Gas plus hooked to a B400R6 tranny. A bit underpowered, this bus sounds awesome as it goes thru its gears. Jus listen to that rear end make music!! Vid was take on the 148 route from Medical Center station to Powers Ferry Landing.

NOTES: This bus is a Model Year 2000 model. Second, MARTA did NOT put 6-geared Allisons in ANY of the older New Flyers (2701-3024 and 2301-2410).

@MetroLinerXLZ sounds like a 6 speed to me. Felt that way too.

This take me back I remember when I first rode one when it was brand new servicing my area it was a smooth ride and those things pack a punch LOL. In fact it is very rare to see those buses except those small route and sometimes even thought very very rare it ran on some big routes during peak hours
