1982 Flyer E901A/E902 trolleybuses - the final days

[@simonmarshall19]

I really miss these buses . Those were my childhood memories . Riding on these bus .

[@brtrolleype]

I love trolleybuses, trolley wires, trolley poles and electric arcs! Beautiful and fantastic video!

[@LESTERNIDOY]

missed these buses I remember when I first rode this bus way back in 1996 it was soo good to ride in. The last time I ride these buses was early 2008. But now im starting to get use to the new ones

[@marksman1416]

I remember going on these buses and the non trolley versions when I was younger

[@lifelong5425]

A bus that carried hundreds of thousands over the years...I drove every bloody one no doubt...and the steering was brutal in all of them..pulling to one side was the norm...They were tired, and done, but it was indeed an art form to master them, all through the streets of Vancouver.

[@trainrover]

you cunts were the worse drivers -- weekly complaints razzing out poxy BC Transit, the only operator like thatnout there 💡💡💡

[@apvrc1977]

These two trolleybuses that appear in the video currently have them as a museum piece ?

[@zazaranger5]

They kinda put you in mind of Septa’s old AM Generals In Philadelphia back in the 80’s

[@shirako9143]

I miss these buses, hopefully 2805 can be brought back to life.

[@shirako9143]

BNSFfan2373 Any photos of the damage available somewhere?

[@transitkidjasonproductions]

Sics August 2023, they marked the 75th anniversary of Vancouver trolleybus

[@mcp12300]

That somthing I forgot about, why do the new poles not arc when going through a switch?

[@apvrc1977]

Hola amigos,excelente filmación nocturna,a que se deben esos chispasos que se producen en los cambios de lineas cada vez que pasan los trolebuses?

[@justaramdomdude440]

so many memories...

[@justinm.1]

Why the sparking wires?

[@revolution1one]

Great video!!....guess they have to retire eventually...Love riding them

[@wongavery1698]

I miss those E 900 series buses. The only things left from that generation are those old gas powered or diesel powered ones

[@wongavery1698]

yeah for sentimental value even though those buses leave loads of sparks coming out of the wires and that they are so slow in the corners

[@jmw0284]

The new trolleys dewire like any other trolley bus. If anything they are worse in the winter when ice is on the lines. The onboard computer pulls the poles down when ice interupts the power

[@carlgags]

2805 is preserved

[@Bakuneon]

@kakerot7 Probably because it was High Floor? that way it seems bigger on inside

[@karbanatek99]

@kakerot7 Maybe high floor conception ?

[@wongavery1698]

Yeah. I never went on one and I alawys wanted to try it

[@RTD8481]

Electric buses are cool, I wish Chicago still had them here.

[@SumiTheTransitFan]

Sad that 2805's controls got smashed by copper thieves. RIP controls.

[@bchydrotransit]

what axles does buses have

[@trainrover]

meanwhile, Frisco's fleet never slowed through junctions 💡💡💡

[@revolution1one]

Yea, there nice if you like old school stuff.

[@Pablodrumdroid]

Andres se debe a que la lienea esta congelada

[@Bakuneon]

@Jomar574 wait... 2805 is still alive??!!?!!?

[@seikantunnel]

yes, but it does not move. no motor, it is still here as a non-moving display

[@revolution1one]

Yes, they are nice..tho i like the old ones.

[@bchydrotransit]

Afsana Rahsid: I use to drive these before

[@wongavery1698]

Yeah the new E40 FLRs are so much better anyway

[@xXalantalmaxX]

to those they tragieron them trolley poles for my Argentine country

[@jasminejohnston6393]

I see why they were retired; too many sparks!

[@mcp12300]

Jasmine Johnston that's actually just the drivers having fun, if you draw a high amperage on a low use section of wire you can burn the dirt off.

[@SumiTheTransitFan]

@jasminejohnston6393 the case of retirement isnt sparks, It just was close to retiring operating service.
