[@TwisteeTheDefiant1]

I also LOVE the start up on these things the generator start up first then the v10 engine starts to run after its lovely

[@socaltransitproductions]

I like the idle at the beginning

Finally got to ride this bus and it was 5422 aswell, the take off is fast!

OCTA had only 2 units. Last year, they were transferred to Long Beach Transit and are in servce as LBT 2521 and 2522

[@lesliemiros6743]

Sound almost like a CNG bus.

[@KevinMeno2008]

Sold to us (Long Beach Transit) as 2522 and in the red/gold livery

[@8v71buses]

I just noticed at 3:06, it sounds like a 6V92 powered Flxible at fast idle

[@ea90744]

this particular bus was governed at 70

[@TwisteeTheDefiant1]

That bus is now 2522 I was on that one yesterday it sounds different the fast idle activates slower that all the other 04-07s I know the rpms of this fast idle its 3400 that's a powerful bus

[@rts9100]

Okay REALLY?!?!?! I didn't know OCTA had these buses!! They KNOW they sound good!!!! What does it top out at?

[@D40LFR]

awesome

[@sanchezv8]

sick sound luv it

[@8v71buses]

Sounds almost like a V8 engine plus the two cylinders.

[@ea90744]

hybrids have no fast idle. its just a low idle.

[@ea90744]

yes

[@dejohn913]

i've thought "All" buses after October 1988 were governed. (According To Congress) Under The Reagan Administration.

[@neoplandude2932]

I'd like these much better if they didnt have those corny axles... Doesn't fit that powertrain at all

[@mmZo6]

Is this bus governed?

[@TuanVu-rx2jr]

[@ea90744]
