Man, I remember these old buses way back in the days. I'm riding on the modern city bus right now. As we speak as I'm typing this tax, thank you for the video.

You have WIFI in the Bus??

[@insideTRANSPORTATION2003]

Glad to see that bus is in great shape.

[@naturallyherb]

Really awesome! Still looks brand new!

I drove these GM Fishbowls in Denver in the 1970's through the 1990's when they retired them. The last 127 buses they bought had the 6V-71T Detroits and 4 speed Allison automatic transmissions and they screamed.

I remember them they were 1981 GMC Canadian Built models 4801-4927, those buses ran.

[@cheryldawdy5962]

Good too see the old Buses are servicing the transit museum for living icons

[@NintenGamer]

I remember riding these old junkers back when BC Transit was still in control of Metro Vancouver buses (before Translink was created). The windows, hard to open during summer.

Great video of one of the best buses ever to grace North American roads I think they should be nicknamed the AEC Routemaster of North America given there lineage and how realiable they are

[@jamesmason7124]

I own and live in a GM TDH-4519 city transit bus in the high desert of New Mexico

[@vintagesupermarkets5210]

Nice video of a classic (not to be confused with a GM Classic lol). Did this bus as part of its 1990s rebuild get power steering? The black shield window looks exactly like OC Transpo’s 1990s New Look power steering conversions. OC only retrofitted ‘74 and newer.

[@seikantunnel]

was that the nfi d40 or the mci in the front?

[@Jess_Transit_Adventures]

That was Trams D40 3106 in front. :)

[@Bob.Smith6969]

Will there be still more old buses in Victoria by the time that there is no more virus in Canada!??🦠

[@freddiejames2083]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@Bob.Smith6969]

And why there are old TransLink buses in Victoria???????????????????????????

[@Bob.Smith6969]

This bus is from the year 1982 or 1984!!!!!!!!!!! So old!!

[@trainzandplanes522]

Vancouver FUN! Transit and Pokémon cards channel. This bus is from the 60s, not 80s

[@Bob.Smith6969]

Trainz and Planes do you mean 1960?

[@matthewsvideos8235]

This bus is a 1966 TDH-4519. It was rebuilt in the early 1990’s and was in regular service until 2006. I would like to see a bus last 40 years today.

[@Bob.Smith6969]

Uplift Vancouver can you PLEASE PLEASE Tell me which city is this in Victoria?? I will subscribe you now!

[@jmsalgorithms]

jeez get a hold of yourself - you're showing other bus fans that you have little patience/self control

[@Bob.Smith6969]

When did you ride this bus!?.

[@Bob.Smith6969]

How do Victoria has this old bus!!??

[@Bob.Smith6969]

Where is this? Which city is this in Victoria?

[@devinrogers6877]

I think I've seen this bus in Calgary

[@UpLiftVancouver]

Not quite the same bus. This one in the video is a 35 footer built in 1966, the one in Calgary that you most likely saw is a 40 footer built in 1981.

[@Bob.Smith6969]

Why you are not answering my question uplift Vancouver? If you do not answer my question I will not subscribe your channel!

[@edprior2821]

Good grief, you aren't too demanding, are you? As the description stated, it was a fan tour with a historical bus - it isn't in the BC Transit fleet and hasn't been for probably 30 years. It probably started life operated by BC Hydro, who at the time operated much of the urban transit. I grew up in Victoria and rode buses like this (likely this very one) when I was a kid. Because the video was taken from the back seat looking forward it was a bit hard to discern where all the locations were, but the first shot was from King George Terrace in Oak Bay, the bus turned onto Bay Street and went through the Royal Jubilee Hospital site in the City of Victoria , it drove through the Uplands area of Oak Bay, and ended on Mt. Tolmie in Saanich. Are you happy now?

Stop fucking demanding stuff... he won't listen to you.
