Sorry dude, still love my High Floors. It gives the drivers seniority, not making the passengers have a sense of entitlement to riding the bus, and therefore suspect to abusing the driver. Riding the bus is a privilege, not a right.
Exactly as mentioned above. You lose space due to four wheel wells and on top of that the whole purpose of low floor buses is accessibility so you're probably going to lose at least two rows of seating because two seats have to be flipped vertically as opposed to horizontally at the front.
Godforbid the NYC MTA did a nice review like this before retiring their RTS busses a few months ago.
I miss riding on those High floor C40HFs and Neoplans AN440s
UPRR railfann7479 I miss the Neoplans and New Flyer
Those are the real LACMTA buses
Go to the philippines theres high floors there and low floors
New Flyer C40HF 5200
LA High floor transit buses (1930s-2014)
Not all 5000-5200 buses where scarpped! Transit Systems got them and were sold to some private owners
High floor buses were safer and way better. Where are they all go scrap. Millions of taxes Payers money gone!
2 of them are still found in los angeles via tsu
Don't retire it!!!!!
Thank You!
and I still miss the ol GMC RTS from the early 80's (8200-9139)
I roded these on the 115,108 and 110
I thought you were gonna mention 111
I've been in that bus before.
That's certainly the improvement.
Not...

At 1:50 I know that guy!
Low floor buses are also bigger and have more room.
not necessarily, in a essence you lose seating due to the wheel wells
Have you ridden a standard floor bus before? They have more seats and more aisle space than any low floor.
