[@kennysbusdrawings]

those look heavy

[@anitadickinson3388]

I think these buses are probably a very good quality but I don't think I see these around where I live

[@Thebunk73]

Beantown is the best

[@michaelhayden2063]

i was there before

[@aperson1971]

Don't call it beantown I don't like it

[@anitadickinson3388]

Wow those buses are pretty cool they are trolley buses and they are pretty long and you can see the trolley things go up and down those buses are actually pretty fast too I want to ride those right now

[@Internal.G40]

Sorry

[@coachguyninenty-two5898]

cool shots over there

[@TheDylanJoyce]

There's some buses for ya!

[@michaelhayden2063]

these are good buses

[@newflyermagee2188]

i was wanting to see these

[@Internal.G40]

Ok i see

[@KDNAMIROX]

I saw these buses at the airport.

[@michaelhayden2063]

i want to ride one of these when will they get scrapped?

[@elijahmorrison2462]

I didn't see those, I like it

[@EpicThe112]

Good catch of these dual mode 🚎 trolley bus and the MBTA will need some XT60s with Diesel engines since the silver line to Logan airport uses I-90 NY Thruway and Mass Pike tunnels under Boston harbor

[@BusTVChan]

How many years until you think they will replace these?

[@EpicThe112]

*_•reshirm•_* • who would they get as electic trolleybus🚎 builders instead of new flyer xcelsior

[@aperson1971]

*_•reshirm•_* they did in 2016 dumb dumb

[@aperson1971]

*_•reshirm•_* or they just buy an O7 from New Yorkand use those and put theme on all bus routes

[@EpicThe112]

*_•reshirm•_* nice explanation and Skoda needs a plant in the northeastern United States like Maryland or Massachusetts to compete effectively with New Flyer Industries who has trolleybus operations in Philadelphia and battery electric buses in Manhattan. Your comment mentioned the ETI Skoda 14tr & 15tr buses used by SF Muni which were replaced by XT40 & XT60 buses

[@bruh-bd1tr]

Ayyyyy

[@Internal.G40]

Cool that the buses are hybrid electric

[@BusTVChan]

+Marcus Jones yes they are hybrids

[@jackielawson9914]

does this MBTA bus go by Dudley Street and the neighborhood

[@blue9multimediagroup]

They're not hybrids. They're dual modes.

[@buiminhtuan777]

Did you get a chance to ride one?

[@BusTVChan]

I did ride a few but i did not record, it was pretty crowded on the SL1

[@jameslaidler4259]

How do bendy busses work anyway? Does the engine drive the very far back wheels?

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Yes

[@blue9multimediagroup]

And so do the electric motors in this case
