1982 Flyer E901A/E902 trolleybuses - the final days

On April 20, 2008, the last Flyer E902 trolleybus 2805 was finally withdrawn from revenue service, officially ending the era of the Flyer E900-series trolleybuses in service. This video is made up of three parts - the first video is recorded onboard bus 2704 during its last run on rt.16 travelling along Hastings Street in a snowy night; the second video is recorded onboard bus 2805 going uphill on Main Street during its last revenue run on rt.3; and the last video is recorded onboard the same bus while it was deadheading back to VTC along 41st Avenue, and stopped in front of OTC.

How do you open the rear doors? Do you step down like the 1991 D40s?

@Bakuneon 2805 is preserved by TRAMS so it pretty much got re-painted to the first generation of the red,blue, BC Transit colors.

@kakerot7

Maybe high floor conception ?

The new trolleys dewire like any other trolley bus. If anything they are worse in the winter when ice is on the lines. The onboard computer pulls the poles down when ice interupts the power

I use to hate how the poll's would always fall down, the new ones don't do that !

@Jomar574 wait... 2805 is still alive??!!?!!?

[Bakuneon]

@kakerot7 Probably because it was High Floor? that way it seems bigger on inside

[kakerot7]

Why dose theses buses look bigger than the new ones

Are you sure? Your making it up arent ya? These buses are already retired. Atleast 80 of them were sent to Argentina, and the rest have been scraped. 2805 is the only remaining Flyer E902 in North America. It might be possible that 2805 was used in service during the olympics but 2805 is being preserved by TRAMS.
