Calgary Transit *SPECIAL!!!*: CTHF GM New Look Charter (09/14/2013)(Bus

[@dfcardenas22]

the sound of the motor is very soothing 😌

[@mr.mcadoo]

these were the pinnacle of my childhood... miss these buses in los angeles/ santa monica...

[@uioned]

Drove these in Vancouver BC, these were better than any Flyer will ever be. The new flyers are nice but not the same.👍

[@skinnylee2]

We still have about 10-15 of these buses left in service, but they have stopped going out lately. With our order of 150 New Flyer XD40's coming in 2014, all of these should be retired by Spring 2014 anyway.

[@LennoxAlexanderFrancisJr]

That's that ish right there.

[@skinnylee2]

Yes I did actually. Our driver let me and my friends sit in the drivers seat during our lunch stop at Westbrook station, and let us toggle the destination sign (obviously not drive it though, unfortunately. Heh)

[@GMC6523]

how many gm's were left in 2013 and how many did they retire?

[@V2Extombur]

you guys still have that bus? we got rid of them a long time ago in Toronto

[@patrickrichmond9896]

This bus was slightly modded by adding power steering along with a modern steering wheel.

[@MegaBray11]

did you sit in the driver seat :)

[@josephheston9238]

Does that carphone still work on the bus?

[@rickyboy1947]

so who paid for this? the taxpayers of Calgary? if so, what another waist of money out of the pockets of hard working Calgarians

[@STMclassic]

+rickyboy1947 although i wasnt on this or live in calgary, all transit charters for any reason is paid by the organizers of the charter, they pay for the bus, its fuel and the operators hours ( all put in a bundled package )
