This video is recorded on Calgary Transit #1074, a 1980 GM Fishbowl on rt.299 which runs between Brentwood LRT station and the Abour Lake neighborhood. This route includes a short highway section, which is the first part of this recording of the bus running at approximately 90km/h! The second part of the video is recorded as the bus does lots of hill-climbings at the beautiful Abour Lake neighborhood.

  • Cool....all I could think about is the movie speed...everyone look forward don't make any sudden moves.

  • Oh yeah - and some of these buses, if I recall, let you ring the bell repeatedly until the driver yells at you. :-)

    Only buses you'd find a 3-71 would be some very short Old Looks.

  • Well maybe some Canadian Fishbowls were powered by modified 3-71s, I'm not sure.

  • @hallosuxforlife, Sorry to tell you this, But I don't think GM ever used 3-71s on the New Look Fishbowls, I seriously doubt that a 3-71 would have enough torque to move a 40 foot Fishbowl, GM first used 6V71s then 8V71s and then 6V92s I have book on them and there's no mention in there of any Fishbowl being powered by a 3-71, Sorry to bust your balls there Buddy!!

  • awsome sound.

    specialy the hillclimb piece.

  • @MrPotman2009 LOL! Now you're talking. I'd add some HKS t51R PTS Turbos, too

  • GOOD OLE 3-71s

  • @AlbertaGamer not true they dont

  • IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD BUY A COUPLE OF GM FISHBOWL TRANSIT BUSES 1959 1970 1980

  • Very nice video. I am so visiting Calgary Transit before they retired the last of these beauties

  • Now, that's my sound. Why didn't I hear it on the back-in-the-day MTA Blitz?
