Liquified Natural Gas? What is that? Differences between that and CNG? Advantages and disadvantages?

We have the dlf40 versions at the laquardia airport in NYC, and it seems the cng versions went to la airport. We have a Utah gillig bus in the Utah paint scheme at the laquardia NYC airport to.

Makes me sad knowing that almost half of the 2014 C40LFR roster is retired

Ride on👍👍

Thank You!

Hey guess what?? Salt river tubing in Arizona has ine of these buses and is owned by jet limousines

Only 4 of these for Phoenix that's local

I rode one on the 72 to film some elevators, and it was the EXACT same one which is number 8066.

Not sure if you know this, but that’s definitely an Allison B500R.

Ah yes 6688. I remember this bus. I was very impressed on how it took off on the 77 back in 2021. I even have a short audio of it.

9:50-9:51 my favorite bus

I miss driving that bus suck I don’t work there anymore

0:08 “Route 41 West, to 59th Ave and Indian School.”

Relax and take a ride

Relax and take a ride

Nice!!!!

I’ve never got to ride on one of those 2007 New Flyer D40LFRs. 😢

*6669 is the ONLY L40LFR unit in the history of Valley Metro to use the green color scheme.

NEVER seen this bus like this before!

8530?! Wow! That IS a high number!

I work for FedEx but I’m not a contractor driver I’m a package handler but I unload these at work I would love to buy one of these used as a unique daily driver and it would haul the atv I want to get really well and I’d want to tow a small camper with it I would have to have the ac charged so it has air conditioning what do one of these tow if you know I know they don’t tow trailers with them at FedEx so I’m curious if people know what they tow I know it would be unusual to want one as a daily driver used after they get de commissioned and go up for sale these fascinate me I think it would be cool to own one

Cool buses. I remember being in highschool these rolling out around 2016. Had a very distinct 2nd gear grind on most of those gilligs

This XN60 articulated clown bus makes a funny and silly circus whistle/clown whistle type sound when it decelerates because of the Voith transmission. The transmissions on the RPTA’s XN60’s are funnier and sillier than the ones on their XN40’s 🤡🤡🤡 (the transmissions on the RPTA’s articulated clown buses are funnier and sillier than the ones on their standard-length clown buses 🤡🤡🤡) That clown bus caught being funny and clowning around on camera 1:16 (1:21) 2:15 (2:17, 2:20) 2:46 4:04 5:19 6:56 (6:59) 7:45 10:17 These clown artics are the funniest buses in the entire Valley Metro fleet and the funniest buses in Arizona because they’re always in silly mode. It’s like my favorite bus (a 2016 New Flyer XD60 with ISL9 and Allison B500R), but in silly mode and a different fuel type which is CNG.

The Flash is going away

According to TranSee, bus number 5692 exist? Is it also an XD40?

12:11 “Route 72 South, to Chandler Fashion Center.”

It’s good to see your uploading again! This unit went to LA Charter with the same unit numbers fyi

0:11 (0:16) one of the West Valley’s express clown buses 🤡🤡🤡

15:05 15:11 15:19 15:25 Valley Metro’s West Valley “clown car” express buses 🤡🤡🤡

0:20 “Next Stop: 33rd Pl.” 0:50 “Next Stop: 36th St.” 1:36 “Next Stop: 38th St.” 2:02 “Next Stop: 40th St. Transfer to Route 39.” 2:34 “Next Stop: 42nd St.” 3:06 “Next Stop: 44th St.” 3:35 “Next Stop: 46th St.” 3:58 “Next Stop: Tatum Blvd. Transfer to Route 44.” 4:29 “Next Stop: 50th Pl.” 5:05 “Next Stop: 52nd St.” 5:29 “Next Stop: 54th Way.” 6:06 “Next Stop: 56th St. Horizon High School.” 6:33 “Next Stop: 58th Pl.” 7:03 “Next Stop: 60th St.” 7:19 “Next Stop: 62nd St.” 7:42 “Next Stop: Greenway Pkwy, and 64th St.” 8:11 “Next Stop: 66th St.” 8:38 “Next Stop: Kierland Blvd.” 9:38 “Next Stop: Butherus Dr, and Scottsdale Rd. Scottsdale Quarter and Kierland Commons. Transfer to Route 72.”

This is what I call “the clown car of motor-coaches” because it is smaller than one of Valley Metro’s MCI buses, the inside looks like the inside a charter bus, and when it decelerates it makes a funny and silly circus whistle/clown whistle type sound because this bus has Voith transmission. 🤡🤡🤡

I am glad we still have these, and they are holding up quite well for their age!

Im in Queen Creek, and I think we might have had HD's in the 2000-2015 year, they might have sounded just like this with the 3126.

I kinda hate CNG buses but the XN's are nice ones. Except for when they aren't.

Is this due to fleet shortage

Where the tip-in windows for this one

5084 and 5109 have also been retired and auctioned off. Looking forward to the next release of this video in the near future!

Nice bus, but the surrounding area looks horrible. The fact that its operated by First Transit doesnt make it better,

This bus is like the “clown car” of Neoplan Jumbocruisers because it’s smaller than a Jumbocruiser it has high-back seats with headrests, it used to run express routes 531, 533, 535, 541, and 542, but it’s been clowning around too much on those routes that it was put on local service. 🤡🤡🤡 Unlike the Jumbocruiser, it has only one deck, and as it decelerates, it makes a funny circus whistle/clown whistle type sound because of the Voith transmission. The transmissions on the RPTA’s XN60’s are WAY funnier and sillier than the ones on their XN40’s and XD40’s. 🤡🤡🤡 These articulated clown buses are always in silly mode whether their A/C is on or not!
