As someone who grew up to Neoplans on the 305, as well as the 40C-LFW on those Sunday 210 routes, this is like traveling back in time. Rest easy, buses of my childhood.

I have really enjoyed this video and part 2 as well. It has inspired me to check out the buses in our neighbor to the north, LA. I am planning on taking a day trip next week (Jan 6 or 7, '11) to ride MTA buses. Hope there are still Neoplans there, those are the ones I would really like to ride as there are none down here in SD. Any tips where I might find the Neoplans in abundance? Thx.
Cool a fellow Neoplan fan! They are my favorite LACMTA bus but I wanted to get a bit of everything in this video for the Nabi and New Flyer fans out there, and the S50 fans too.
@jfrog1983 Yes I am a fan of Neoplan's. Have had the privilege of riding and seeing Neo's all aross the US. I do love Neo's an really miss Septa's 6v92 powered AN440's. But I still get to ride Septa and PAT's AN460's.
I miss Neoplan AN440, New Flyer C40HF, NABI 40 LFW, and New Flyer C40LF. Now, We have ENC AXESS BRT, New Flyer Xcelsior XN40, NABI 45C-LFW, NABI 60 BRT, New Flyer Xcelsior XN60, and BYD K9M
@Jose Farias Even the P865 light rail trains together with the P2020 light rail got replaced by the new P3010's between 2018 and 2021. Los Angeles is different now and it will never be the same again.
Gosh I watch this video now and it both saddens and disgusts me. When I first got into buses in 2010/11, this was the LA I remember; Neoplans roaring down the street, 50Gs burbling and chimming by. Go to LA now this would be unrecognizable. Sad, because it brings back memories of fun times now lost. Disgust, because today's buses are pathetic, lifeless boredom.
1MTSRider Couldnt agree more, the sounds are what got me into buses as well. Many cities are goin Hybrid which sucks because they are so quite and besides they are mostly POS buses that are tiny and dont last.
@@BobNewbie I miss the old P865 and the old P2020 light rail trains that used to run on the Blue Line and the Expo Line too. Now those trains are retired and they were replaced by the new P3010 light rail vehicles that came out in 2016. Everything was different back then in Los Angeles and it was much more affordable to rent an apartment and even buy houses but now not anymore. Everything has changed and they have so many new buildings that are being built just because of corporate greed.
I found the 2007 LACMTA Nabi 60 BRT CNG orange bus #9478 Is Now In Metro's Division 5 Bus Yard Line 204 To Vermont/Athens Green Line Sta Via Vermont Ave
urbancombat1000 I know this is late but Orange is Local service Red is Rapid service White can be local or Rapid Dark Silver iserro Silver Line Light silver is Metro Orange Line and Blue is Express.
I found the 2001-2002 LACMTA Nabi 40 LFW white yellow jacket bus 7614 Is Now In Metro's Division 1 Bus Yard Line 18 To Wilshire/Western Purple Line Sta
High floor is the best. Why can’t we just cope with lifts? So much more comfy to ride in. NJ Transit is the only agency that realized this that they customized NABI busses to be high floor.

Neoplans are my favorite
0:27 Man, I love how that NABI 45C bus roars with those engines
Who misses the unmistakable roar of a Neoplan ANN40 or the gargle of the Detroit Diesel Series 50MK-G on the NABI 45C LFW? I do!
Stuart Alvarez I do with a passion

Stuart Alvarez I miss all buses in LA
0:27 I remember of The LACMTA NABI 45c lFW having this engine
But I think it got Repowered to Cummins isl-G
The NABI Compobus (Metro Rapid) has the old logo. I liked that one better than the new one.
When I went to Eagle Rock in L.A I would see Line 81's with the Neoplans under the bridge and when they departed, they sounded awesome...
Oh man the Neoplans with the L10G, the best. Even some DD Series 50G's which are great, but the L10G Neoplans, WOW incredible.

Those Neoplans killed me. They sound just as awesome as the CNG Orion Vs in New York. I wonder if they backfire as well.
Man those NABI 45C-LFWs sound like Orion VII CNGs with that tough rattle, plus those Neoplans always roar tough like a Detroit engine :-D
00:26 that Metro Bus has the same engine sound as the Foothill Transit NABI 40-LFW CNG F1400-F1474
You mean that red metro rapid
Holy shit! The Compo bus had a S50?
Yup. There are still some with the series 50 but only like 4 busses have them I think
Last time I found a bunch was on the 210 line, you may have good luck with that one as well. LACMTA does tend to move busses around...

the lacmta rapid bus got repowered
Orange = Local Service
Red = Rapid Service
Dark Silver = Silver Line
Light Silver = Orange Line
Blue Busses=Express bit I have not seen one for a while.
O
.
Kevin Meno Local And Rapid aren't always Orange = Local and Rapid = red they can be a Rapid Bus on a Local route or a Local Bus on a Rapid route.

This is my favorite metro bus video :)
Me too I miss those buses
I always see Neoplans every time I go to Los Angeles
@Jose Farias ok
@Jose Farias Even the P865 light rail trains together with the P2020 light rail got replaced by the new P3010's between 2018 and 2021. Los Angeles is different now and it will never be the same again.
@SuperHotLarry AWESOME!!!!! Thank you for informing me!
@Jayayess1190 I've got the Los Angeles ones and the MUNI ones in San Francisco, CA, MUNI has both the AN440 and AN460.
Cummins ISL-G engines sound pretty silent
That NABI 45C bus looks like a banana float boat. Yumm!

I miss all these old busses
@Mozultecania they are all automatic
@jfs1988 I agree and they didn't have to change it again after they went to that now older one.
1:35 that is my favorite bus!

did you get a Metrolink
why didn't you get that bentley on your video?
333 was the old 733
Great video! I liked it and signed up.
L.A. Neo's rule.
For lacmta what does each color on the bus represent?
urbancombat1000 I know this is late but Orange is Local service Red is Rapid service White can be local or Rapid Dark Silver iserro Silver Line Light silver is Metro Orange Line and Blue is Express.
daytona500iscool the blue (metro express), white (yellow jacket) and red and white livery’s are now retired. Those 3 livery’s were retired in 2012.
Rest in paradise Jeremiah
I want to know if anyone has driven these buses to tell me if they are automatic or stickshift
They're all automatic bro !!!
I found the 2001-2002 LACMTA Nabi 40 LFW white yellow jacket bus 7614 Is Now In Metro's Division 1 Bus Yard Line 18 To Wilshire/Western Purple Line Sta
Are there any difference between the 2004-2005 NABI 45c units and the 2010-2011 45c units?
High floor is the best. Why can’t we just cope with lifts? So much more comfy to ride in. NJ Transit is the only agency that realized this that they customized NABI busses to be high floor.
Great video
Cool
Those neoplans had a mean growl. I’m sad I didn’t get to ride them
Nice!
Nice video
Did metro transit ever keep old Retired buses?
Nope but Transit systems known as tsu and scott Richards did
1:52
Your presentation is capable of succeeding.
