LOL! If you're referring to the bus at 0:40, that's a 1983 MAN Articulated. The X2 was infamous for them.

Did I just see a 30' Flxible Metro in RideOn's livery at 4:25?

@PMann9321 I remember I used to see those buses on the A6 years ago. They used to struggle up the hills, especially Wheeler Rd....

@PMann9321 I remember I used to see those on the A^ all the time. All those old buses used to struggle up Wheeler Rd. and other hills...Lol

@Bus3204 yeah the H street line. They originally came from Germany and now that i live here, MAN, SETRA, NEOPLAN, and Mercedes Benz makes some great buses here. But I really miss the buses back in DC though

Reminds me of the '08 and '09 Big Ralph's videos too! We need to see more updates. That Christmas one of Ralph's is the best I ever seen ...with multi's and a story line! This video's intersection turns is applaudable! Clap clap!

I wish someone has a pic/video of the older Neoplan buses that served SE during the 80's 90's. They were 9500 series.
