I wish that these weren't being retired already. I can't believe they have been around for over 14 years. I remember being in middle school when METRO first got these.

[@leitrepenn-lowe4439]

I love the sound of the Allison EP40 hybrid drive system. It pairs well to the Cummins ISL.

I rode this route from Wheeler Station to Sage Rd to stay at the Galleria Hilton Garden Inn almost one year ago today. I was visiting from my home in Dallas to see the WWE Royal Rumble at Minute Maid Park. The trip to Houston was so much fun except for when everyone found out that Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi passed away.

[@javilee7536]

Yoo I was there too and it was sad about Kobe

[@TheBusFoamer]

A nabi on the 9 is so rare awesome video btw just finished watching it

[@JosueUmana-k9j]

About to hop on

[@tylergoethe9422]

I dont think they hardly use the 3500 buses anymore. Surprised to see one

[@anthonywashington9516]

Have you rode the #8 West Beffort westbound from fannin South?

[@Hsglil5k]

Do the 54 Scott next the whole ride

[@HOUExplorer]

Will do

[@connormorrison2091]

Can you do 50 Broadway from Hobby Airport to Magnolia Park Transit Center

[@HOUExplorer]

You’ve read my mind again. I’m still editing that route. I’ve recorded from Hobby to Eastwood on the new Nova bus.

[@TheBusFoamer]

You do realize this used to be a Quickline bus right or was going to be a QL bus since it has the quickline configuration inside

[@HOUExplorer]

Yup :)

[@leitrepenn-lowe4439]

I guess that they didn't need ten buses, because 3588 and 3589 got put back into the regular METRO livery.

Have you rode the #8 west beffort ??

[@alfonziagarrett6944]

are from Houston? I am from Houston and I can tell you all about Houston metro and Wan it was hou Tran. really in the mid 1970s it was rapid transit and hou Tran and then metro

[@HOUExplorer]

Yes. I’m from Houston. Thanks for sharing a brief history of Houston’s transit.

[@houstonvlogger_0351]

It's beautiful

[@metro_via_transit]

I remember filming a ride on that route

[@TheBusFoamer]

For some reason the engine messes up the mic

[@HOUExplorer]

Yeah. I’m testing different types of microphones for the DJI Pocket. So far, the best microphone is my iPhone.

[@htxman0734]

I used my iphone 6s+ when i got on #3555 bus on route 79 and recorded on the inside of the bus and the audio came out great, if you asked.

[@HOUExplorer]

Yup. iPhones are the best when recording sounds. I'm still researching/looking for a small gimbal for iPhone 12 Pro Max (that's what I have). I have a small gimbal, but the iPhone is too heavy. And I do not want to use a large gimbal because I do not want people to notice.

[@htxman0734]

Well, good luck to find it/researching for another small gimbal.

[@htxman0734]

My question is, how much longer can you hold on to a small gimbal for the new iphone?

[@connormorrison2091]

That's i wanted to see, Can you do the 40 Telephone/Heights second phase route from Eastwood Transit Center to Hobby Airport and then do the 28 OST/Wayside route from Southeast Transit Center to Texas Medical Center Transit Center and do the 54 Scott route from Downtown Houston to Hiram Clarke Transit Center and do the 5 Southmore route from Wheeler to Southeast Transit Center

[@JosueUmana-k9j]

Chepito vaya con Dios

[@JosueUmana-k9j]

Chepito

[@douglasdeleon5256]

Hey H-Town Explorer Nice Heard from you🇺🇸🦅💝💖😎

[@JosueUmana-k9j]

25 cents

[@TheBusFoamer]

Next time sit in the back so we can hear the engine (you don’t have to just a suggestion)

[@HOUExplorer]

Yup. I sit at the back when there is no-one sitting there :)

[@JosueUmana-k9j]

Worried about public safety
