- A one hour long video of Valley Metro buses in-action in-and-around downtown Phoenix. Express and Rapid service bellow the transit landscape along Central Avenue, Van Buren Street, and Washington Street.
As it has been six years & three months since I last been to Phoenix, Arizona, my favorite buses were & still is the NABI Compobus units powered with a Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine. Unfortunately, if I ever head back to Phoenix, these buses will be retired, so this likely my last ever recording(s) of these units. Fact: Valley Metro is one of only two operators to have a fleet of these NABI rarities -- other being LACMTA (Los Angeles, CA). In 2005, Chicago Transit Authority (Chicago, IL) demonstrated one unit; more info via link: [www.chicagobus...]
Note: If there is one thing you'll notice profusely throughout this video, is Valley Metro's reconciliation to decide on a proper livery to go forth with. You'll see the original white/mint green locals; silver frame with 3-4 various colors; white & purple... sigh SIMPLY!... It's an OCD person's (i.e.: "ME!") worst nightmare. But with those band of different schemes come a variety of models unseen at any other "single" transit company, anywhere, in North America. At least the RAPIDs are going forth the original livery design.
I love those buses
1:14 possibly the only new flyer LFR buses with 1 service door, they do however have luggage racks
You should come down to Knoxville TN sometime and film some of our buses!
I live in Phoenix. I rode an XN40. Purple and silver livery is what’s finally going to happen from this point on out. They are also going to paint the light rails to match the purple buses; long overdue.
Are you sure? Hahaha. Every time I see a new set of buses ordered it has a new livery. Just waiting to see some painted in red, purple, and gold just for nostalgia
MJofLakeland1 Yep, next time you’re in Phoenix we should meet up. I have a few buddies working for Valley Metro, but I attended a meeting to hear about the new light rail paint job. New Siemens railcars are on order as well, in the new “New Flyer Xn40” livery.
Purple and sliver buses are for first transit out in Tempe
6720 is now a filler bus (meaning that it will take a run on whatever route that needs an extra or replacement bus on)
Good work getting a lot of those green stripe 2000s buses, those are possibly my favorites they used to have.
13:26 these 07 lfrs are fun to drive!
2018 XN40, 2018 XN60 on track with Cummins L9N with Voith 864.6 Transmission.
We going to move here too
I like all of the 2004 nabi compobuses with the Detroit diesel engines. The best part of the video is at 2:43.
Agreed! Also at 39:04, oh my goodness, brings back memories of 2007! ruclips.net/video/PK-qkw1BBdM/видео.html
