That's a great video! I was going to do the same, before Portland completely phases out all of their older fleet. The bus in the beginning of the video is one of my favorite older buses in Portland, Or. I wish they would never phase buses out, like they do in my Home Country, we Have latest and greatest buses running around, as well as buses from 1960', '70's, '80's, '90's, 2000's till latest, newest ones. Older buses bring back great memories, as much as making our city more versatile looking, from all the different variations of buildings, vehicles, etc… Here in United States, everything just have to be standardized and latest and newest. Makes thing not as interesting as things back at my Home Country were I was born.
God I hate Tri-Met.
It's a shame such good, hard working buses will be put out of service, along with their precious powertrains.
Love watching your videos Nabinut. You should come to winnipeg
Damn those busses were loud
I miss those buses last time
rode one was when I was 5
I feel fortunate that I still get to drive a ExCTA Flxible Metro for the Chicago Fire Dept My videos can be found on my page "LourdesM"
No more Flxible Metro 1700s as of this past July. Now only the 1900s remain.
More and more Flxible Metros (and the 1990-91 Gillig Phantoms) will be heading for the scrap heap as the first three of TriMet's new 3200 (and 3300) series buses have just left the Gillig factory last week and will be seen working the streets of Portland in less than a month from now. Why? TriMet just released a video about where their retired buses go.
Sad to say this about the Flxibles, but it's true.
wow I loved d ending
All of the 1994 Flxible Metro buses (1817-1843) are now retired.
Presently, Merlo Road is getting 25 of the 70 new Gillig BRT buses (3146-3170), while Center Street has the first 45 (3101-3145).
0:33 to 0:45 are the best = since the L10 and M11 engines have slightly different bass.
Not at the moment. Tri-met has paper passes (day, weekly, monthly) that are shown to the operator and fare inspector (for the light rail)
Do buses in Portland use a similar pay system to Seattle's Orca Card? Just want to know if there is a refillable bus card like we have up here in Seattle. I want to move to Portland so I want to know if busing there is easier or harder than Seattle. Thanks!
You have until 2014 to get your rides in.
You would have wanted to visit Portland when they had the 1988 and 1989 Flxible Metro "B" units (500-549, 550-637). The last of those were retired in 2005-06.
Love those Flxible Metro Coaches. Good timing on capturing all those buses. Thumbs Up.
Go trimet u rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TriMet has once again signed with Gillig for its latest orders of buses to be delivered in the years 2012-16.
