I remember riding on these in my youth. How nostalgic to see them again.
Always nice to see them out and about :)
That blue fishbowl bus reminds Speed movie
Max Bellido Alfaro Bellido Most definitely!
Lol yes I thought the same. I had watched that movie a few weeks ago.
I remember riding the models before the New look. When I grew up the school board hired the Montreal city buses as school buses.
When I was going to School, they where using the Brills with the window coming down. We heard that a kid had his head out the window and it came down on him. Next thing you know, the Montreal Catholic School Commission used the Yellow Busses. I'm not sure if the accident had anything to do with it.
San Francisco Muni had a fleet of 1969 GMC new look buses, as a boy I loved the sound of the engine, and riding them
They were my favourite buses also, growing up.
Great video! Great buses!! I love the classic fishbowl buses..so many fond memories riding them in Milwaukee WI
Thanks for watching!
I sure miss those 6-71 sounds
Nice to see these 2 survivors..
So nice that they have been preserved 🙂
Looks like fun! I was a regular bus rider on the Houston "Metro" system from Monday, January 7'th, 1985 until Friday, March 24'th, 1989; additionally-on the various San Francisco Bay Area bus systems-including the BART commuter train-from Thursday afternoon, April 20'th, 1989 until late July, 1996. Fun, sweet memories!
Thanks!! They all ran great and sounded sweet!
Thank-you!
La tole en aluminum en arrière.... Je sais pas combien de fois jme suis brûlé la dessus quand j'étais petit !
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. They are beautiful buses and run very well. It's nice to see this history preserved. I wish I could answer the colour scheme question for you, but unfortunately I am not very familiar with the history of the STM. I'm hoping someone else might be able to jump in and answer here.
C'est les plus beaux bus les New Look
Reminds me of Guelph transit New looks and classics
Awesome , thank you for watching.
Awesome! :)
Siguen rifando los "Chimecos"
Saskatoon use to have gmc new look busses. in 1997 they retired the ones from 1964 1976 and we kept the ones from 1977 1982 until they retired in May or June 2013 except for unit 371 a 1977 New Look it was repainted back to its original 70s yellow roof army green side livery to celebrate 100 years of Saskatoon transit that still sits in the bus garage today they are keeping it for an antique sometimes they’ll pull it out to take pictures. And then they kept unit 400 the 1982 new look that was the last one in Saskatoon and they retired it in February of 2014 and we never saw that bus again
That blue fishbowl bus was used on what is now CITSO and CITHSL lines. Remember it.
way more places to sit... at 0:41 than the bus today.
A new 60 foot articulated bus in Vancouver has only 41 seats.
I really want a bus like 14-008
Can you guys post when you have the next Fan Trip. I'm in Vancouver now so often go out with them on rides but I'd like to see if a can work in a Fan Trip when I go for a visit.
Your best bet would to follow updates from The Bus History Association :)
I bet had the STM kept their New Looks, they would still be running great today while LFS from 2002, the year fishbowls were retired, would be good for the scrapheap.
Funny you say that, i remember as a kid Timmins Transit bought all these used buses from toronto back in the early 2000's but yet those kept shitting the bed and they had to bring the old GMCs back out. They were still running them up until around 2010
blue shemes came in in 1974, all buses before got gradually repainted in blue, exept for the older ones.
beginning with 15-001bus for 1975
Both of those busses are amazing. I can go on for hrs about how the buses in MTL Suck nowadays . Every single thing about them. In 84 the new buses were an upgrade. Then these nova buses. Talk about a downgrade. 3 57 . Now THAT is a city bus
Where's the even older Rosa Parks type of bus with the brown and white trim with the rounded end? should have one of those, I rode one when I was like 5, probably the last one in service.
+briefnote72 I SNEAKED on one..!I know those..the older GMC Old Looks...the Honeymooners show type of bus.
fuck i remember taking the bus when i was like 7 at 2:25 the farthest to the left all i remembered was the slanted windows amazing...
I see a Classic RTS Bus in the Historic Fleet, the RTS was Not Really Welcomed in Canada, that's why GM of Canada Kept Building the Fishbowls till 1986, Cause Canadian Transit Systems Craved the Classic Fishbowls & Santa Monica, California's Big Blue Bus Received the Very Last 27 GM of Canada's LAST BUILT FISHBOWLS (5153 to 5180).
Do any of the, Canadair City buses still exists?
flxible ?
Those were buses what I’m seeing now . Compared to what we have replacing now they are complete joke crammed in like sardines giant wheel well taking up lots of room these were buses what we got today are pieces of junk
Yeah these new buses today suck so bad . For so many reasons
Just like the Prius hybrid cars seem to be mandatedly (enviromental regulations sound familiar?) 50 year old cars, so it sees the crappy low floor hybrian plastic computerised buses are replacing these oldies >:
Steve Carras
I can’t stand low floors! Those are what I call fake busses! Take a car if the bus is too much of a workout!!! I’ll do the same when Im old!
Nnnniiccceee :-)
Please explain how this is "HISTORIC" ? they are OLD buses. I fail to see your use of the word "historic" I have some really old towels can I call them Historic? no I just call them OLD TOWELS
Steve Dwyer Everyone sees things differently and I can understand how some may just see it as an “old bus”, but to others these models represent a lot more than “just an old bus”, but a revolutionary design in the industry.
Unlike your towels, old buses are part of the history of their respective city, hence they're historic buses.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. They are beautiful buses and run very well. It's nice to see this history preserved.
