SF Bay Area Buses. Part 1 - Year 1997

[@jfs1988]

1997. I didnt even knew bus fanning was already going on during time. The price of computers, digital cameras, and camcorders was expensive unlike today. I think I hear a Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine on that BART Gillig Phantom.

I was only three years old at that time. I sure do remember these buses a lot.

[@JGProductions6581]

I was one.

[@blount_man]

This era was the best for buses

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I am glad that you had been able to do this back then. Thank you!

[@Bus4025]

Thanks for the memories dude. I used to drive for them.

jfs1988 Reply to your comment: I found out that those BART Express buses were from 1988. They had 6V92TA's, but the transmission makes it sound like a S50 for some reason.

[@TheCRTman]

Wow, I really love this. These buses were bad ass! I sadly didn't move to SF until 2009, but I really like this. I wish I was in SF back then. I also love the old Muni colors. Very nice video.

[@KevinCNYC1991]

Awesome footage. Very good on the narrating too.

[@slyflight]

Transit paradise!

[@timosha21]

I'm a train and I approve this video choo choo!!!

[@8v71buses]

Wow when that Neoplan Artic took off at 5:50 it reminds me of how MARTA's Neoplan AN460s use to sound. Very awesome

[@calvar0]

These buses where the best love them

[@thor-elfalcon3057]

At 8:21 I thought the 38 Geary should have blocked traffic for the F Market car.

[@Mookie504]

4:48 I like the sound of the New Flyer D60.

[@enolamsamoht]

They were so whiney sounding.

[@KevinCNYC1991]

I heard the Samtrans Neoplan AN460 has ZF 4HP-600 transmission.

[@L-Taraval]

Good job Scooby! I hope all is well in the PNW!

[@musiclover90211]

what happend sam trans

[@skakteology52]

Oh shit Neoplan

[@8v71buses]

Yeap and I think MARTA Neoplan AN460s prolly had ZFs or perhaps the Allison HT series

[@DarPower1]

Do you have any more footage of the Muni trains?

[@rtd1409]

Nice video but too much talking we want to hear the buses not narrations. Also the BART Express 19088 came to LA about a year after this video was taken and ran in contracted service for LACMTA and was painted in the Yellowjacket scheme.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

I actually like the narrations. It helps for us folks that’s visually impaired such as myself.

[@michaelsandford1015]

I like your bus vds now what about mine im after some comments

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

4:47 8:25

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

I think SF should do away with those electrified buses. The trollys are ok though

[@Jeragon186]
