When I was a kid I’d ride the city bus an hour each way to school and back. The sounds of this video makes me so sleepy because I’d always fall asleep on that bus!

Holy smokes im having chills when he floors it

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

Now THIS is how I like a Classic to sound! Excellent, deep, throaty New Look-style grumble...oh yes! I am satisfied!

[@theericfreeze1493]

This is the first time I've ever heard a VR731 and I love it.

Best acceleration at 4:27

+TheCRTman This bus sounds likes it's going to kick a Xcelsior's ass.

[@sonicboy678]

Wrong one. It sounds like it's about to tear the LFS a new one for replacing it, displacing its older sibling, and never coming with Detroit options.

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

It sounds similar to a rts bus with that same engine

I remember when DDOT Detroit Department Of Transportation and Windsor Canada had these GM MCI RTS transit buses.

If our buses were like this i'd take the bus very often, the buses we have are electric and hybrid start-stop wank with a couple of nice old MAN lions city buses still operating

You better drive! *faints* I'm back!

[@busrailfan]

Ya like that one, do you!?

[@jtizzle369]

You better know it! Nothing better than a good shifting bus and an operator who knows how to drive it

[@busrailfan]

Yes, The Classics were a fairly light model like their Fishbowls model.

[@sonicboy678]

I know this is late, but what about in relation to the RTS?

[@imgursdownvote4love771]

@@sonicboy678 The original replacement for the Fishbowls was the RTS, but they weren't popular in Canada. They then introduced the Classic. Think of them as siblings

NFTA had these for 11-13 years before they suddenly disappeared! To this day I'm still wondering what happened!

Nice video. I wonder how he/she makes 3rd gear rev higher then go into overdrive.

Probably a different transmission then?
