New Jersey Transit Flxible Metro-B #1716 (Inside)

A ride on one of the oldest buses STILL ACTIVE on the NJT Roster!!! NJT 1989 Fixible Metro-B #1716 (a.k.a. Old Faithful) on the 126 to New York; hard to believe but this bus is a full 20 years old and that DD6V92TA engine sounds AWESOME!!! My only other trip on this type of bus was September of 2008 when I rode #1715 on the 87 to Hoboken. Enjoy it while you can because the NEW NJT NABIs are coming in like HOTCAKES!!! Sadly this bus and all of their Metro-B Buddies have been retired since February, it's a bittersweet ride on an old-school Flex.

it surprises me!

Me too, I was surprised to say the least; it is still nice to see some of those 20-year old fixibles on the road, but they will soon be retired.

How did you like my clip, I actually showed every angle of #1716 including the interior looking back as well, it just shows how good an NJT Bus was meant to be.

I know!

Thanks, it's hard to believe that this bus is 20 years old and still running!!!
