Best bus I ever drove until 1998 when I retired from Command bus . It was like a race car compared to the 1960's we were driving lol

[@haroldalexis4200]

What a grand experience that was. I was there & took a lot of pictures of these buses pulling out How those buses started those engines WOW! 😱

[@pioneermci]

What a surprise to see this event being filmed. I was there visiting from Australia that day. I had with me pictorial books of American Buses operating Downunder for Ansett Pioneer. MCI's, GMC's, Eagles (Greyhound Australia had these), Aussie built Dennings & Austral Tourmasters. First coach I ever drove here in Australia was a RHD MCI MC8 with 4spd stick.
Thanks for posting this video for all to see and remember that great day.

[@hypnotised-clover]

Michael Hatten last time i checked, hell was a nice sounding place

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

That bus actually sounds like crap. Runs quite rough.

So the tailpipe is at the bottom? That's rare.

[@csouth28]

Thuam X not really rare majority of the ones I’ve ever came across the tailpipe was always at the bottom.

[@ENTERTAINMENT35]

Where did this take place, NY right? How come I didn't hear about this.. I wish Suffolk Transit on Long Island kept some of their old 1987 and 1991 Gillig Phantoms around as well as their 1993 Flxible's instead of junking all of them

[@haroldalexis4200]

This took place at The New York City Transit Museum in Brooklyn, New York.🚌

[@arendsjustin]

Why did city bus always have the engine in the back

[@Mahees_230]

Because it leaves more space inside for the passengers, the driver, and engine access is easier.

[@kl3ztyplays642]

Let that engine purer

[@hypnotised-clover]

Markel Williams ?

[@GMC6523]

is that bus still in service or is it retired
