    It’s not even like the driver is flooring it and it still sounds so cool passing by!

      yes, but back in the late 80s to early 90s the Metro Bs were running those lines, by the mid-90s the Metro Ds took over Hilton

    Vaughan Transit was the ONLY agency in Canada to use Flxible Metro until being merged into York Region Transit in 2001 which marked its retirement.

    Awesome bus, but i do wonder, why is the left window slanted, wouldnt it just be easier to have flat like the right one?

    • @engineerminded3388
      @engineerminded3388 4 года назад +1

      So the driver can get a better view. Orion V buses had the wrap around window for the same reason.

    Is it me or did Flxible Metros always look weird? I remember riding them when Marta had them back in 1999.

    • @BusTVChan
      @BusTVChan  Год назад +1

      You think they look weird? I think they look really cool and really really interesting because you don't see any buses that look quite like that I always like the windshield the way it came in on the one side something you don't see on many coaches and something you definitely probably won't see on any new bus ever again they just have a really interesting look and many cities had them so it's definitely a historic and a static to see these when you see them in such a good condition like this one

      @@BusTVChan I guess this particular Flxible Metro looks weird, it has a different variant than the ones from Marta in Atlanta and NCTD. I always wondered by they called them Flxible Metros you’d think that’s what they would call the articulates being they bend in the middle like an accordion. Good video nonetheless.
