    Sounds so sexy. The Cummins L10 and Voith combos are some of the most beautiful and lovely bus sounds I've ever heard 😍😄😀

    GOSH this video reminds me of everything I loved about those L10 Metro Bs, even with the ridiculous rattle...it's actually a fond memory I have of them, lol. I sure do miss those buses. Very well done

    We had double deckers with Cummins L10 and Voith 4 speed gearboxes and they went like the clappers. Easily attaining and passing the 60mph mark.

    "B" is for best since they were veterans and outlived the 1992 Orion V's as well as all the Flxible Metro-D's from 1993-1994

      Yes, METRA did have 10 Metro "A" 35096-6Ts 1121 to 1130, with the 6V92TA engine, built 1984.
      They also had some Orion Is (the 30-foot 01.502) with the L10 and Voith, though. They were numbers 1135-1144 built in 1988, and 1148-1157 built in 1991.

      @@ClassicTVMan1981X what year did the flx metro retire? I stayed in Columbus in 2004 with my aunt and went to high school out there I remember the Orion 1 and also the new flyer d40lf they had at the time

      My guess would be units 1121 to 1130 were retired in 1996 at least.

    nothing wrong with the Cummins L10 diesel with the voith automatic transmission it keeps the passengers and the driver happy the 1990 flxible metro b adb buses are nice for the environment but boring
