This could have been the last time the Brills took the public under trolley wires. Translink is not too keen about the liability issues with the vintage equipment. I do hope something can be worked out in future.

This bus was still running at 17 years? These must be 20 year CNG tanks. I thought they were only rated for 15 years. Good sounding bus. Thank you for sharing.

I hate this change not because these 2006 buses aren’t nice but the fact that you have some of the worst bus drivers in terms of customer service on the whole system of driving you around and they’re invading what was supposed to be new W. Hamilton Transit Centre territory
@NV.Transit3 ай бұрын
@@raincity5004Just curious, but what is this bad customer service you keep commenting about? I personally haven’t had any bad experiences with Poco Transit. Poco people well, thats another story…
@raincity50043 ай бұрын
I think it’s mostly because the drivers are mainly in their 50s and 60s and being in a wheelchair I personally prefer younger bus drivers. They tend to be a lot kinder towards me and more understanding. That’s why I don’t like Coquitlam these older bus drivers just don’t seem to understand me very well.

Great video. Late '50s, early '60s, we didn't realize we were riding in an object of art - what eras, what style we lived in without knowing it. Distinctive rounded-corners design, flat front, sloped rear roof line, ; huge, nearly horizontal steering wheel; glass-sided fare box; back-tilted windscreen; gleaming, smooth stainless steel handrails; cushioned seats; footwell lights; accordion doors; cozy '50s incandescent lighting; air brake hiss. There's nothing like that riding the streets any longer - it's just a bus, but it's beautiful, and a great reminder of those times.

730 is not fully off the road. It has made some appearances in 2024 and will go out a few times more in the summer including the PNE. Unfortunately it’s replacement, 4107 Fishbowl is not ready yet. It will go to select events if the deadhead is mostly highway to not aggravate the mechanical issues.

Wow! We had this same type of GM Old look and the small version in Cuba! They arrived in Cuba in the 1950's and were already in use in USA! Excellent air suspension, they had automatic transition and they were super comfortableI The Windows were the same number and shape with one small window before and after the rear door!!!I remember one in particular with the number 1442 that went from Havana to Guanabo in Cuba! Congratulations and applauses to the GM Disigner and engineers ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋👋👋👋

Really good comment! Yo también - see my comment above. You completely 'get' the art & cultural aspects of this. You & I were riding these in the same years - I was a boy in Miami then, and these were light green, and everywhere. I wish I had known Cuba in those days. Mi suegra nació en la Habana. Thx for your memories so well spoken.
