HD: A Ride On Board WMATA Flxible Metro B # 9408 Route J1

[@8v71buses]

Sounds so sexy. The Cummins L10 and Voith combos are some of the most beautiful and lovely bus sounds I've ever heard 😍😄😀

[@dejohn913]

Aaaaaaaaahhhh! That Rattle Takes Me Way Back. In A Good Way. R.I.P. Flxible. That Was A Good Bus Company.

[@Bastranz27]

GOSH this video reminds me of everything I loved about those L10 Metro Bs, even with the ridiculous rattle...it's actually a fond memory I have of them, lol. I sure do miss those buses. Very well done

[@Q65LTD]

That is a great recording!

[@tonylaw196]

Just like the Dennis Dragon

[@JohnSulu14]

"B" is for best since they were veterans and outlived the 1992 Orion V's as well as all the Flxible Metro-D's from 1993-1994

[@Rapidsnap1984]

We had double deckers with Cummins L10 and Voith 4 speed gearboxes and they went like the clappers. Easily attaining and passing the 60mph mark.

[@JohnSulu14]

A+ for this one in terms of how long it's been in service

[@MrBusDriver804]

clean ass video man straight up like

[@Southeastern4204]

This prolly the only 40ft 9400 left in service

[@seClip9]

I caught one during evening Rush Hour today.

[@seClip9]

Unsure if I'll be able to see of them still running there by next week with my arrival there. Chances are unlikely.

[@seClip9]

@landoverdivision321 I'll be D.C. from 8 A.M.-6 P.M., well mainly in the afternoon since I'll be allow to be free around the city area.

[@JohnSulu14]

Was this bus still in service after many MEtro-D's and some Metro-E's?

[@knightclassic1]

Sounds like Miami and Chicago's Flxible Metro Bs, the Window Rattling sounds like Orion V and MCI Classics

[@landoverdivision321]

@Q65LTD Thanks man.

Riding 9408 1991 Flexible Metro B Diesel Engine this bus it equipped with a Cummins L-10 six Cylinder 8.3Liter 250hp EPA98 transmission Voith DWAI D863.2 ADR -3speed

[@bigblockz8]

damn.

[@lesliemiros6743]

Jefferson Parish , Louisiana had these in 1982 and 1984

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

They should have had these in both Meridian, MS and Columbus, GA!

[@jimmytrussel488]

Didn't columbus GA have flx metro at one poimt?

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@jimmytrussel488 Yes, METRA did have 10 Metro "A" 35096-6Ts 1121 to 1130, with the 6V92TA engine, built 1984. They also had some Orion Is (the 30-foot 01.502) with the L10 and Voith, though. They were numbers 1135-1144 built in 1988, and 1148-1157 built in 1991.

[@jimmytrussel488]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X what year did the flx metro retire? I stayed in Columbus in 2004 with my aunt and went to high school out there I remember the Orion 1 and also the new flyer d40lf they had at the time

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@jimmytrussel488 My guess would be units 1121 to 1130 were retired in 1996 at least.

[@8v71buses]

Yep I remember seeing them back during my childhood a few times when my family and I use travel down to Columbus from Atlanta to visit my grandmother

[@landoverdivision321]

@enisvideos Not too sure.

[@landoverdivision321]

@GRTCrid3r HAHA thanks son.

[@jaleelrichards9860]

They should have put a Detroit Diesel 6v92 engine in this WMATA 9408 Flxible Metro B bus

[@calvincrews3885]

nothing wrong with the Cummins L10 diesel with the voith automatic transmission it keeps the passengers and the driver happy the 1990 flxible metro b adb buses are nice for the environment but boring

[@landoverdivision321]

@Southeastern4204 This and 9404 maybe.

[@landoverdivision321]

@seClip9 You might get lucky if it's during rush hour.

[@landoverdivision321]

@bigblockz8 Damn is right. LOL.

[@Southeastern4204]

They all gone now....well at CET but they'll be gone

[@lesliemiros6743]
