Back when buses had class and lots of leg room miss older buses like these.
Exactly👍👍.
Yo this footage is gold. There were not a lot of people who used to film buses back in the day. I would looooove to see more of your footage. The CNG Neoplans were fairly new at the time.
Bus 4681 at 0:55 is significant in the fact that it went to Transit Systems Unlimited after retirement in 2010. There's a few vids of it on youtube driving around. However I believe it is scrapped now.
That GM Classic take off at 1:11 had me whistling!
The RTS take off at 3:47 had me doooooooooone!!! That exhaust with that engine fan sounded so epic!!
2265's trans. slip at 4:19 was epic too.
I was kinda hoping there would be a take off of Neoplan 1123 at the end.
We had two full VHS tapes of bus watching from the late 1990s. Unfortunately we cannot seem to locate those other tapes. We are thrilled you liked this footage. Check out Season 1, Episode 8 and 9 as there might be some buses in the background that may interest you. Thank you for joining the conversation! ruclips.net/video/UTtjqpEa2XA/видео.html
I will definitely check out Season 1 Ep. 8/9. Hopefully you guys could find those tapes some day. This is really good footage.
Please look cause and I really wanted back these buses ok, because they're too young if for when to retire. So my favorite buses are LACMTA TMC RTS, Metro Neoplan, Santa Monica Bus GM, New Flyer the back of a bus has some window, so not a vent. And I knew other bus is NABI. And also Culver City Bus though. New York City Bus
And I won't want them just to abandon us never-ever you hear me::( I want it back!!
So I'm telling this for right now, okay. You have to work for in a trillion years..now::((
RIP Neoplans as of 2011-2013 use to see a lot of those when I was little in 2008
Those along with the Flxable Metros and RTS were mighty work horses back in the day.
@@TheMetropolitanNetwork hey there. I love Metro Bus & Metro Rail.
This makes me wanna watch the movie Speed. Those Era of buses were beautiful too.
I had forgotten about the tandem axle Neoplans. Neat! Also neat was the GM Fishbowl from Santa Monica. Awesome!
wow this video is special to me because this is my neighborhood. born in santa monica and raised in venice. seeing this video remind me of my youth. i was 12 years old in 1998 and watching thi puts me back in time. skateboarding around everywhere. ditching school riding around on those old buses. santa monica place R.I.P. korn follow the leader was soundtrack of my life that year.
We appreciate the comments of your fond childhood memories within this episode.
Man, 0:47-0:52 is one of my favorite parts of the video. Love the pull off sound of GMC RTS buses ever since I was a kid.
Thrilled it brought back fond memories of your childhood. Thank you
I miss the Neoplans. My favorite buses.
Those were the real workhorses of that era.
Awesome footage. I rarely see videos of LACMTA during the 90s, when it was still fairly new at the time. And the buses at the time with the white paint scheme looked pretty cool. It's just a whole different era that I wasn't around to see.
8723 was at 3:47, that was the best sounding bus in the whole vid lol
O___O
Sounds like a combination of a Flxible Metro B & an MCI Classic
What?! I guess 5152 or 6526 didn't matter. :P I should run you over with a Xcelsior for saying that lmao
You don't understand, when I heard that 6V92TA with that engine fan on top of it, I completely lost it lol.
@@TheCRTman This guy lol
These older buses look better than these Gosh Darn Low Floor buses GMC - TMC RTS buses GMC Fishbowl buses and TC Buses even Neoplan AN440 transitliner buses

Back then, when L.A. Metro had real buses with badass engines that bus enthusiasts enjoyed the most, than today's crappy NFI Xcelsiors, BYD and other electric hybrid buses that everyone hates.
Were just remembering riding Metro Line 497, a multi-axle Neoplan that had a motor that was strong and powerful. Too bad MTA didn't hold onto one of these buses for special events. Thanks for the memories!
Not a single NABI in sight!
Calor
@DieYuppiieSkum, 100 percent facts.
I'm with you on that I love buses that had badass engines that's very nostalgic I'm not a fan of these so called crappy BYD hybrid etc
The GMC had a poster for a bugs life if you noticed.
I remember in the Santa Monica area, we used to have 4/304 (later 4/704 then just 4), 20/320, (later 20/720) 22 (later SMBBB 4, then abandoned) 33/333/436 (later 33/733, then 33) and 434 (later 534, then 134). It will be great if Line 30 extended their select trips from Rimpau to Santa Monica by discontinuing BBBR7, and only serving R7 stops while Line 30 would serve all BBBR7 stops to SM on Late-night/Owl trips.
2:14 That GMC Fishbowl wit that DD6V92 sounds so damn sexy!!! WHOO WEE!
Sounds like an MCI Classic
Last night I've seen a movie The Truth About Cats And Dogs. Because it's filmed around here somewhere. It's a great movie to watch:)
Now, almost all the commuters use the expo line.
Once the subway is extended to Veteran's Hospital/Wilshire Blvd; Rapid 720 and quite possibly Santa Monica 10 Express will probably be cancelled. A big change from 20 years ago to present especially a prelude to 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Thank you for watching!
The Metropolitan Network better yet, that purple line should end at Santa Monica as it was meant to end at.
@@TheMetropolitanNetwork quite possibly, but might get bashlash from commuters who still depend on Metro Rapid 720 to take them to their final destinations. Plus, the 3rd final segment of the Purple Line will end at V.A. Hospital in 2025-26 (2 years, before the 2028 Summer Olympics begin).
@@DieYuppiieSkum, big changes are coming. Imagine the new bus designs are in the works as well. Thanks for sharing.
Great find love the Div.6 RTS 04's giving one another a jump start!
Such a shame that the last RTS rolling around New York have been retired last month. Thanks for your comment.
@@TheMetropolitanNetwork It's a crying shame
Verao
Both of those buses were from the now closed division 10 yard, both are sporting the division 10 Gateway yard decal.
4:16 Now this bus here is from the division 6 yard, sporting the Venice yard decal that contained a RTS bus riding a wave 🌊
Man, our OCTA county didn't even have the D60LF buses yet and barely received our D40LF's at the time
Maybe there was a special deal in bulk purchases of specific class of transit vehicle between the manufacture and county. Thank you for the comment.
The D60LFs were build in 1999 for the 2000 model year! So they entered service in Orange County until 2001
Was it flim on your VHS camcorder. 👍🏻
Hitachi SVHS camcorder
I remember the bus at 1998
Great memories
Toooooooo Sweeeeeeet
I used to ride 333 to santa monica
The power and strength of the Metro limited lines of that era. We also rode Line 436 during rush hours from Venice to Downtown LA.
Oh yeah line 436 went from venice beach to downtown LA temple/grand
This day when I'm like 10 years old
At least you now know some of the vehicles being operated at that time. Thank you for the comment!
@@TheMetropolitanNetwork Last night I've seen a movie The Truth About Cats And Dogs, it's a great movie to watch. Because it's filmed somewhere in Santa Monica named The Truth About Cats And Dogs, I seen a movie last night
I also seen in Drillbit Taylor
