@@socaltransitproductions Correct, unless one of them gets into either a bad accident or develops enough mechanical issues that would qualify it for early retirement
@@alexespinoza2525 what a relief. 😪 I just can't believe that it already has been 13 years for them. And how on earth did you find out when the C40LFR buses are retiring. On CTPDB wiki???
Brings back so many good memories, NABIs, D40LFs/D60LFs, Ez Riders, C40LFRs, D40HFs, Gilligs back when OCTA was a diverse fleet now it's only just 4 diferent buses
Absolutely the Santa Ana Transit Terminal was my favorite spot back then I still remember Dock 17 Route 72 Memories My first New Flyer was The Old Route 145 Santa Ana Transit Terminal To South Coast Plaza I wanted to Try the New Flyer back then I absolutely loved the bus amazing interior amazing engine now fast forward to 2024 There's only like less than 10 5500s in Santa Ana And Garden Grove base
@@him3242they discontinued Route 145 unfortunately it was at the same time Route 62 was also discontinued a lot of Santa Ana Routes Got Screwed over I'll always be heartbroken that the Old 72 was Discontinued Which Worked Santa Ana Transit Terminal to South Coast Plaza Route 55 pays homage to the Old 72 Route 150 Replaced The Old 51 and 145 for the most part 51 for Flower Street which Old 72 used to run until Saint Andrews
Awesome footage! It was crazy seeing the Santa Ana Transit Terminal and some footage of the NABIs before they got repowered!
And the C-GAS powered C40LFRs too before being repowered also
It's great to see someone else recording transit a decade ago! Great Footage
It brings so much memories with these classic old buses
Crazy to think this was 12 years ago
The C40LFR buses retiring in 2023-2026 right?

You got any idea what happened to route 145? That was my main route to go to school back in the day when there used to be like 20 other routes

Wow 🤩
2008 was the year when OCTA 1999 Ford E-450/El-Dorado Aerotech Mid-Size Buses Units 8301-8364 with 7.3L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel the will be retired.
OCTA NABIs are used in 2008 and now retired in 2016-2018 to replaced New Flyer XN40s.
And also, the XN40s replaced the D40LFs as well
@@socaltransitproductions But there's still D40LF's... The XN40's only replaced a few of them, not all of them.
@@alexespinoza2525 that is true, but most of the D40LF buses retired. Mostly in 2010 and 2016-2017.
Man Do I miss All of those LNG NABI's of OCTA💯💯💯😭😭😭. I've never gotten the chance to ride on one of those babies 💯💯💯😭😭😭.
Me to
Nah The 1989 Gillig Phantoms and 1990 New Flyers those Are The Best OCTA Fleet units period
