- This video simply illustrates the belt squeal problem these busses seem to have. Also notice the puff of smoke that belches from the exhaust!
This is #6516 after we got off in downtown Los Angeles, CA. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I second that, these are my favorite busses in CA!
lol i miss the DD50 engines they were powerfull and made the bus sound like a huge jet engine
Certainly is better than the black puffs of smoke coming out of some diesel busses. Usually, these CNG busses don't smoke at all...
This bus sounds awesome when it pulls with that belt squealing sound. Gotta love it!
You can thank Boston's MBTA for Neoplan's closing of their Plant.
Heck. I love these Buses too. They are the best Buses to ride on.
Cummins L10G, I gotta say these engines sound really nice through that big exhaust found on Neoplan busses!
Aw man i love those belt squeals omg! Our series 60 powered neo's do tat.
Boston's MBTA. made an order for some Buses and TC (Trolley Coaches). While Neoplan was starting or was building the Buses. MBTA had cancelled their Order. And Neoplan had to give all the money back. Neoplan had a little money problems before. Due to other small things. But Boston really hurt they bad enough. to cause them to close down. I think a lot of companies was hurting for business at that time. But Neoplan was one of the company. That bit the bullet and bit it hard. That is what I heard.
lol at first i thought the bus did a peel off
My friend lives by the 20 Line so I recorded some more Neoplans over this past weekend and ended up on 6491 which was squealing pretty good. All the rest seemed to be fixed, but I saw many squealing New Flyers, mostly in the older Metro colors.
Nice, I love Neoplans :)
Daaaamn!
I'm going back to ride these things next week, and get some more video!
These Neoplans are currently the best buses in the Metro fleet. The engine is a Cummins L10G
they have these same buses on line 111 and i live a block from the nearest stop and i can hear the noise all the way to my house lol
im used to the noise now
In a weird way the belt squealing sounds pretty cool!
Easiest coaches to work on. Its too bad that they closed the plant in Lamar Co.
Yes its a Cummins L10G
This one did have a funky sound whilst idling, most don't sound like this, they sound more like a big idling inline 6 should sound. Also, the abovehead ventilation fan in this bus was a bit noisier than usual.
you know what i thought it was before. i thought these buses were burning the tires at first. but it turns out it was the belt squeal
@WMATAvids I tried to get more recordings of squealing ones but lately it seems I get the non squealers and a squealer will usually pass by across the street! Murphy strikes again...
WMATA's AN460s do the same thing.
