1982 Flyer D901A (ex-BC Transit 3334)

TRAMS brought out their D901A for the first time in several years, this thing screams quite nicely ;)

[@erikg.2666]

@@williamcheang2003 Especially the 9600 series from Port Coquitlam Transit Center. They used the same transmission.

Oh man do I miss those!

[@williamcheang2003]

They have the same motor as the gm newlooks.

[@busrailfan]

@@williamcheang2003 Yes I am very much aware of this.

The bus that made me cry from Broadway to Hastings when I first got on a bus as a little kid (I wasn't good with loud noises). sounds about right, lol.

[@williamcheang2003]

These sound like gm fishes.

Wow, knowing the industry, it seems like they would have decommissioned this model already...but I'm glad they didn't. Looks like you had the whole thing to yourself too, good stuff.

[@williamcheang2003]

It was an erbon area.

[@erikg.2666]

It's too bad that a Flyer D700A was never preserved! They were a unique bus, similar to the Flexible buses in the U.S.

@SwordofJin117 This bus has been decommissioned since around 2002, it's now part of a historic collection, this video was recorded during a transit fan trip.

[@vinceroscoe4906]

nice video ☺

[@williamcheang2003]

The busses are nicer then the nova's

[@williamcheang2003]

The ttc retyred these and I regret that. I wish they would bring back some of these.

[@garricksl]

This bus is the best with New Flyer D40HF. Too bad American laws and climate change can't make this kind of bus.

[@williamcheang2003]

They are cool.

[@SwordofJin117]

@VancouversLocalNerd Oh...lol.

[@williamcheang2003]

Now I regret this. They retyred all of these d900's in toronto from the Ttc and they are one of my faves even the motors.

[@matthewsvideos8235]

Good video. I am looking for a section to use for the demo video of all the buses for TRAMS. This is the only video of the bus that I am missing. I would like permission to use a part of this video with full credits to you to help show our vehicles during events with the museum bus with the T.V.

[@williamcheang2003]

The motor is nice.

[@theteamedward108]

it sounds like a Detroit 6v92
