TTC - Final Day of GM T6H-5307N New Looks

Here's a compilation of videos taken during the last day of service for these historic buses. The final bus in revenue service, 2281, entered Mt Dennis garage at 2:45xm after running on the Yonge Subway Replacement Shuttle.
Powertrain: Detroit Diesel 6V71N/Allison V730.

A moment in history

[@ianfalconer7405]

ONCE WAS NOW RETIRERING THANK YOU TTC FISHBOWEL❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@daveoh13]

i drove most of these buses when they were at wilson division & i know i drove both 2444 & 2290 numerous times each; the gm buses weren't quick off the line, didn't have air-conditioning & were not disability-accessible, but were fun to drive, especially in snow; i really miss them, especially their sound...

[@AirplaneFreak]

And reliable.

[@42luke93]

Didn't the Fishbowl buses with the big box on the rear window have air conditioning?

[@42luke93]

Mehul Thind Probably since it’s in the North and does not get too hot I think.

[@daveoh13]

@@42luke93 oh, it gets plenty hot here in the sumertime, with high humidity... the ttc was just too cheap to purchase air-conditioned buses...

[@42luke93]

dave oh Oh wow, like comeon.

I Was Born In The Way Late 50's So I Was Raised Up Going On Those GM Fishbowl Buses And They Had Style All Their Own Too Bad I Don't See Them Anymore,Great Video!

[@douglasrainford5533]

Those buses were the best. I rarely see them breaking down. I'll certainly miss them.

[@careyleroux3784]

Nice job on the video. I am a retired TTC employee so I really like these videos. THANK YOU KINDLY.

[@ianfalconer7405]

[@careyleroux3784]

Bus #2290 was sent to Ireland where they collect old buses from transit companies.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

[@shaneinkster4775]

I sure miss those 6-71 engine sounds

Were Toronto Transit Commission's GM T6H-5307N New Looks a mainstay of their fleet through the 1990s and in to the ENTIRE 2000s?

[@manudogom1764]

Yup almost a 1000 of them in service at one point in that time frame

[@JohnSulu14]

@manudogom1764 Some even were in service by December 31, 2009 which marked the end of the 2000s decade.

[@simonrichard9873]

It amazes me how a 30 year old Detroit Diesel can produce no smoke at all.

[@simonrichard9873]

@@antoniojmonetti Detroit Diesels have a reputation of being smokey engines. These ones are exceptional.

[@schnuurtchke]

I really miss them

[@42luke93]

I wonder why RTS didn’t last as long as GM Fishbowl.

[@simonsm45]

So 52 Route was majority of 1991 Orion Vs until their retirement in 2009, then GM Fishies took over.

[@josephheston9238]

I thought those came with the 6V92TA motor.

[@WeatherxCalipha]

Scrapped... Only two remain. (For charter and special events)

[@GMC6523]

did all of the buses had to go to the dump?

[@jesuinaviana8914]

Ni

[@1MTSRider]

Sad, sad, sad!!! Why, why, why???

[@davidcho6024]

All good things must come to an end.

[@MasterofWindowsXP]

At least they preserved 2252

[@damienchance2622]

Is got to be the fishbowl

[@72defender]

Why exactly were they called “New Look?”

[@inoutdoor4211]

Because they came after the Old Look. I’m not kidding, 1959 I think they came out, they were the New Look of transit buses at the time.

[@42luke93]

If you've watched Jackie Gleason from the Honeymooners, the bus he drove in the picture were the "Old Looks".
