TTC New Flyer D40-89

Ride aboard one of TTC's 1989 New Flyer D40-89s, 6488, as it travels eastbound on Burnhamthorpe via Route 50 Burnhamthorpe.
This bus is now owned by Cullingford Coaches and has been repainted with twin blue stripes.

Those were the all-retired D40-90 series. The D40-88s and 89s are powered by DDC 6V71N and Allison V731ATEC.

LOL, more like a 1981-83 GMC RTS engine/transmission package...it still feels strange to ride a New Flyer/Flyer/Fishbowl with a RTS package!

[@ttcgeek]

Yepper! This engine has more of a deeper sound. Just like the D901s.

[@brownbrownson]

i finally remember these engines on our D40HFs...

@GTAfan8850 The last one retired in March 2009.

[@dorpsbewonertransit]

The powertrain is the same as the Classics, not as the New Looks. The D901s don't have the New Look powertrain either.

[@brownbrownson]

uh.. u were around longer..all sounds sounded almost the same to me when i was younger.. lol :)

[@dorpsbewonertransit]

Yup, the 87s and 90s retired early to heavier frame corrosion.

[@ttcgeek]

... No wonder gthey were retired...

[@newyorkfan16]

Actually, they were the 6V92TA engine.

[@GTAfan8850]

When did those D40 89 buses retire?

[@ttcgeek]

Actually, this is in Canada.

This one of the few TTC D40s with the unique seating arrangement at the back as shown in the video. The seats between the rear doors to the rear row are always perimeter seats on TTC's units.
