What time was it, when this sighting happened in this video?

[Caitsith810]

Around 3:45pm.

[Spectacular66]

Wow, that's pretty badass... Any idea on where to catch these beauties again?!

[Caitsith810]

Anywhere along the M42 between 10am to 4pm. I dont know about weekends

[gmcbuses]

Are they running on any other routes also?

[Caitsith810]

I'm not too sure, I know they run on the M42 but I guess they run along other routes selectively.

i guess its on 42nd st to make tourists go WOW! and NYers who haven't seen it in person (like myself) go WHOA!

The talented technicians of the NYCTA/MTA Surface Division. They are the best !!!

[drdave1963]

Wow! What a treat to see these beauties on the streets again! I wish I could have been there to see them in person! These babies had CHARACTER!

Ah, the unmistakable sound of the GM 671. The windows in that first bus aren't original. All we need is Ralph Kramden!

Parry Bus in Mafia 2

(Note that I saw one in North Millville bus station, I didn't steal it because of the cop walking around)

This is awesome seeing these GM Old Looks back in service! I grew up in NYC in the 1950's as a kid and this is terrific! Definitely have to catch a hop in one on the M42 this Holiday Season!

I like the end where the RTS is chasing the TDH THE first and the LAST "FAMOUS" GM Transit offerings

[MrUribe1991]

Its a Mitsubishi FUSO 1952???

[JohnnyNW]

the first one looks like it's in the old PTC (Philadelphia) colors of white/orange/green

[sanyo51]

cool

[mellotrongirl]

Wow! Those look immaculate also! I sure remember in Portland, Oregon when Rose City Transit ran them all over in the 1960's--rides just 15 cents. I think Tri-Met still runs a handful of GMC fishbowls along a regular route.
