MUNI 2007 Orion VII HEV 8523 | 5/23/2022

It sure has been a while since I last recorded a video. Had some time to kill so I decided to ride the Orions which are due for retirement soon.
It honestly felt good to ride these again. 8523 sounds just like 8446 which was the first Orion I heard make that loud whine. The 39 is not the fastest route but it sure is fun to climb up the hills and make the narrow turns. Without being said, enjoy!

Unfortunately, they are. 8504 is even ready for retirement. But these buses served well (for 15 years with a 5-month break in 2020).
