Septa Bus Ride: Neoplan AN440

[@LuisSanchez-pc2ug]

1983 and 85 were the real deal with the sound even though this one comes close is way to noisy I rode the 47 bus on 7 Street

[@busrailfan]

MY GAWD THIS THING SINGIN!! DAMN!!

[@Jayayess1190]

Glad you like it.

[@kylesheaff7779]

Any full rides on the septa Neoplan an440 bus

[@Jayayess1190]

Only what's already on this channel.

[@franksanders1634]

These will always be the most classic iconic buses in our septa fleet & the nabi’s

[@daniel022209]

Nope not the NABI's. It was the NABI's that ultimately retired the older Neoplan fleet from 8285 to 8584. Those buses are ok though lol.

[@SEPTAUS]

@franksanders9677 what about The D40LF

[@dez-ef5bo]

​@franksanders9677they also replaced the 1982 Neoplan Ak's

[@TheCRTman]

Homie was rollin in this film. Great job

[@WMATAvids]

I know right. As far as i know i consider this music to my ears.

[@thor-elfalcon3057]

3456 (callowhill) had the same thing going on until goh in 2001

[@LPenn0505]

yeah i miss hearing the detroit desiel series 6v92ta's loud engines around houston.

[@williamgreeter1855]

LL0505 yes the MCTS AN440 buses in 3500-3571 had the 6V92ta 747 transmission the 3600-3619 had the L10 Cummings diesel and than 3620-3656 had the 6V92 with the 731 transmission they came in early 1986

[@engineersdash7564]

Oh yeah I forgot Houston and Jacksonville had them also.

[@bustitution]

Thats what makes a neoplan A legend in SEPTA's fleet

[@engineersdash7564]

I remember when philly, Baltimore, and DC had these buses.

[@williamgreeter1855]

MCTS Neoplans where the most comfortable buses to ride on 72 of those Neoplan AN440 had the same engine and transmission the numbers where 3500-3571 they came in 1986

[@guildrich]

Damn! That bus sounds like it has a siren for a drive train!!!

[@SEPTAUS]

Why does it sound like D40LF A little bit

[@desmondcorley7122]

I miss these buses I wish SEPTA could bring them back

[@theblubus]

Same! I loved the old Neoplans so much

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

[@daniel022209]

one error. the BD'S also had the HT740 not the 747.

[@daniel022209]

[@daniel022209]

AHH The Neoplans. My favorites that I have riden through the decades were the AKs, BDs, BMs, and CDs. No one has these videos. Long live the 8337, 8363, 8438, 8444, 8454, 8459, 8468, 8480, 8547, 8554, 8560, 8606, 8607, 8612, 8615, 8622, 8625, 8630, 8633, 8637, 8639, 8641, 8645, 8646, 8648, 8650, 8652(one of my most favorites), 8653, 8655, 8815, 8829, 8843, and 8850 SHEESH. I literally grew up on these NEOPLANS. I wish I got on one of the 8200 series Neoplans on Septa from Comly though.

[@hidentake]

Great video. I love the sound of that overblown turbo charger.

[@urbancombat1000]

i got to give it to yall septa boys from Jersey. this is the best sounding neoplan in the history of buses and number one in my top ten. second is NJ Transit metro b!

[@Jayayess1190]

They are still here, just have to go to Frankford. But by the summer, they might all be gone since Septa has already received 2 trackless trolleys.

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

The overblown turbocharger and the exhaust pipe. These buses have the exhaust pipe located on the engine.

[@daniel022209]

MetroLinerXLZ theybwere running a long time. Thats why they sound like that. I remember Neoplan AK 8289 back in 1996 was running loud as ever. Comly use to run the Neoplans like crazy when they came in brand new and some of them had transmission trouble after a while.

[@Trainwizard]

3429. That's the VERY LAST NEOPLAN I EVER RODE!!! R.I.P. 3429

[@williamgreeter1855]

Trainwizard the last MCTS Neoplan AN440 bus I ever rode on was number 3549 in 2001

[@Jayayess1190]

Septa only has 30 Neoplans left in service, all 1989. I have no videos of older ones.

[@zackdurham]

I don't know bout yall but im a bus freak and I miss dem damn buses, I miss the sound of em the smell, and the way they look. If SEPTA had an aution with those buses i would sure be there

[@Jayayess1190]

@daniel022209 New paint job, engine gets tweaked or replaced to meet emissions standards, clean the interior, maybe add a bike rack.

[@franksanders1634]

my last neoplan was on the 3 bus and my first one ever was on the 70 1996 - 2008

[@Jayayess1190]

Detroit Diesel 6v92ta.

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

It can, but it may be costly. Basically, you'll have to replace the pipe or have on retrofitted (if that's possible???).

[@Jayayess1190]

@LPenn0505 Canada still has some GM New Looks running, which would be 20-30 yrs. Buses can run as long as these did, as long as they are maintained properly.

[@Jayayess1190]

Northwest Philly (Mt. Airy, near Cedarbrook Plaza). I am moving to Springfield Township by fall for 12th grade, so it will be even harder to get videos :(

[@Jayayess1190]

Most likely they will be taken to Midvale and eventually scrapped. So far 3 trackless trolleys have been delivered (801-803), none in revenue service yet.

[@Bastranz27]

Those had a different transmission. Anyway, 3429 was unique in that whining sound - this wasn't prevalent in the other Neoplans.

[@Jayayess1190]

I'm not sure, I haven't been to 69th street in a long time.

[@Jayayess1190]

Its kind of hard for me to since there are only 30 left in service and they don't run on routes near me :(

[@zackdurham]

but arent the trackless trolleys going on the trackless trolley routes like the 59 and the 79. But what wouldnt they do with the neoplan's that exceeded the lifetime with septa. will they take it to midvale or wayne junction especially and dump em or they sell em

[@daniel022209]

@ Jayayess, when buses go through the overhaul process, what is being done?

[@brownbrownson]

um, whats that high pitched sound in the first 20 seconds?

[@Jayayess1190]

I was...

[@Promagstyle]

Its a public transportation vehicle, so there is no need to hide your camera. Everyone for sure has ridden transit before has seen a transit vehicle, so you are entitled to film. If someone complains just pretend you don't speak english.

[@LPenn0505]

Why are they abusing these poor machines. buses shouldn't run 18 years. i figured it out . technology ages x 5.5years 18 x 5.5 = 99. this bus is 99. it shouldnt be working it should be reserved for parades or something

[@RRansomSmith]

Stop

[@Promagstyle]

Looks like you hiding the camera....

[@LPenn0505]

Well i guess houstonians dont appreciate buses as much as people in other states or countries. some dude just peed on one of our new Orions so it lost its new bus smell fast

[@phillytch78]

That blower sounds horrible
