- Welcome aboard Brampton Transit 1988 Orion I 01.508 #8899 as it operates on Route 20 from Bramalea Terminal through East Industrial then returning to Bramalea Terminal. 8899 is the oldest Brampton Transit Bus in service at 23 years old.
The bitter sweet symphony. Thanks for sharing.
Wow this brings back a lot of memories, taking that Brampton bus to Humber College ( halfway, it would go to Westwood Mall and then from there catch the Mississauga bus to Humber ).
It's really sad that our generation will never know the feeling of riding these buses.I feel so glad that I was able to ride then growing up.I really miss these in my city.If only knew a place that have them now for their personal use.I would differently ride them again
That 6V92/Voith sounds good.
That and the 1991 Orions was the reason I went to Brampton. I rode this and 9129 on the 10/20 lines to/from the terminal. I loved the ride.
They have these in Alexandria, LA. when I was there in 2002.
and in Mobile, Alabama too.
That old girl has been retired Rest In Peace 8899
I used to ride this grand old lady orion almost once a week to get home when I was in school. She used to service route 10 at least once a week. And I would get dropped off at Lisa Street. The bus drivers used to hate getting her to drive and I could never understand why. I would want her over the new busses if I was driving for them. She has probably been retired though now. I never see her out and around on the roads or at the terminal anymore.
SporTran had L10/B400 & L10/Voith Orion Is. I miss those. Our Orion Vs had M11/B400 and S50/B400. Bus 408 is being auctioned off Saturday. 405,406,409, and 410 won't be around much longer sadly :(.
I rode them when I was there in 2002.
I miss hearing this sound.Where i live we have SporTran A.K.A. Shreveport Transit.When no longer have this buses in commision.They all were replaced except for four 1997-1998 models bus # 405,406,409,410 and they don't sound like these.i used to always memic the sound of the bus because i like it. We have have Gillig and New Flyer now :(
Did I forget to mention that the Mississippi Gulf Coast had a few too.
Two, model 01.507, also from 1988. Theirs could have had the 6V92/Voith or L10/Voith.
Great video! 24 years old is great for a bus. Charlotte Transit wont even keep a bus past 13 and a half years.
So even the D863.3 has a whining sound to. Rabbit Transit and Alexandria DASH have L10/Voith on their Orion Is and the Rabbit units had the whine to. I love the Orion I with the 6v92 and Allison HT747 which Berks Area Reading Transit authority had on their 89-90 Orion Is.
MrWill1985 As did the Orion I's for LANTA (Lehigh & Northampton Transportation Authority), numbered 8721-8730 (1987), 8931-8935 (1989) and 8936-8950 (1989). All except 8936-8950 were 30 feet long, whereas 8936-8950 were 35 feet.
ClassicTVMan1981X Did Lanta get 6v92 on their Orion 1s? I know they had series 50 on the New flyers.
+MrWill1985
Yes.
These Voith transmissions being mated to the 6V92 could pass for a Allison V730 or 731.
WOW! Beautiful!
Yes they sure were lovely grand old ladys weren't they my friend. I occasionally I see one of 1991's out on the road now and again but not very often. They sure don't make em like that anymore. The exhaust was loud on them, always new when one of those babys was roarin down clark boulevard

Also, 401-411 are 1996 models. 421-424 were 1997/8. They replaced the 1980 GMC RTS and 1983 Flxible Metros SporTran once had.
Accially its a 1989 Orion l bus but it was built in September of 1988 but its a 1989 year Model
jdeandre bus models #406 and # 409 have been auctioned off as off last weekend :(
405 and 410 are finally gone as well. They've been gone about 4 months now. Shreveport is strictly Gillig and New Flyer now.
:(..I watched them get towed away. I like the New Flyer models and the used buses 132-135 and now 142.Even tough i havent rode it yet
I bought my first car just before the Gilligs came in 2003. I've never been on one. I saw 142 Sunday morning on Southern Hills. There were a few of the Orions I never got to ride as well. Nice to know there's a fan in Shreveport besides myself
ikr i love our buses.142 just came in from Metro Transit.. it's a used like 132-135.just painted that all.There may be 143 theres another sitting on the yard waiting to be painted.
I was wondering who they bought those from. Any idea where 132-133 and 134 & 135 came from?
Dayumm!
thanks for that i didnt know.I was trying to figure out what year model there were its hard to tell because of the small font on inside those buses.but only 405,406,409, and 410 remain. Irather would have choose 423 over 410 to keep.I dont remember seeing them old ones they once had but then again it was before my time but came across pictures of them.
transmission slippin

These things were actually built to last, too. The new fangled bullshit buses in use today is pure crap. Port Authority of Pittsburgh bought about 15 brandy-new tri-axle buses -- they were breaking down all over Allegheny County within TWO WEEKS. Hell, at THAT point, they didn't even receive all of the vehicles!
Geno2733 you right the new buses are garbage compared to these.i remember when we first got 101-105 they had problems that hey 2nd week on the road.
Did you get the chance to ride on any of the 'Burgh's 1993 Flxible Metros with the Series 50/Voith (2300-2449)?
