shit hole

Just imagine ur Wayne Gretzky🏒 n just skate man ⛸️ 😂

Love seeing us in this video we will be going next sunday dress up again.

1:50 - When I see a Subway entrance stairs, with lamps above that have *green* globes, does that mean this station entrance is always open?

Memories!

Why the heck did they repaint 4727 in two-tone blue? I thought the idea was to restore them to original livery? Also, the curbside number looks like it has been placed too far back. What a mess.

The fare was 15 cents in 1959, by the way.

I may or may not have spotted myself in video. 😅Great video hope you had a great time. 👍

Great video. I couldn't see the back of the 5227 GMC Fishbowl, but the green one does not have air conditioning. Yes, they were hot as an oven in the summer months. The Fishbowls that did have ac had the unit mounted on top of the bus in the rear. The ac was okay, not very cold because the bus was in stop and go city traffic most of the time so the diesel engine couldn't maintain the rpms to keep the compressor at optimal operation. With the ac running, it really taxed the engine and hindered the acceleration and speed of the bus.

Yes the R-10s started in the 1940s and I remember them being used on the A and CC lines years back!

As a kid growing up in NYC, I remember the R-9 IND trains from the 1930s remained in service through the 60s and 70s! I loved riding them with the old roars before the renovations!

The narrator was incorrect as far as the control handles for the doors. The top knobs ONLY CLOSE the doors. Inside the handle, at the bottom, are two switches. The conductor flips the switches, one at a time, to open the doors.

I started in 78 at Flatbush Depot. There was no power steering or a/c. It was easier to turn if you kept the bus moving slowly.

Thanks for the knowledge did not notice it

Of course it's a very rare find, never had that engine. Big Block with modern fuel injection? Nope. Nice car, but nope.

My name is John And I love the NYC Transit museum one day I'm going to be there. Is it free or how much is it?

awesome video! thank you very much. can't wait to see the museum for myself next month when i come to new york.

Fish Bowls were called New Looks

Color schemes are called LIVERIES

It looks like it’s impossible to don showtime on those old cars

Thank you mate for the video. Subscribed!

Ralph kramden lived in Brooklyn and drove on Madison avenue in Manhattan

WOW I REMEMBER THOSE BUSES FROM BACK IN THE DAYS AS A KID ME AND OTHERS WILL HANG ON TO THE BACK OF THESE BUSES AND RIDE THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS SUCH CLASSIC AND BEAUTIFUL BUSES

Most of those green 1959 n.y.c buses without power steering also had no A/C

Bus driver's don't look out the back windows while backing up they use the side mirrors.

The Brooklyn Bridge, in a close-up picture, was on the cover of a middle school math textbook in the 1980s and made for a cool looking math book.

8:26 same here man. Grew in Bronx then Staten Island; my parents used to take the x13 (or x11) express but to/from the city back in the late 70s and this is pretty much the exact model of those buses. I recall them having decently cushioned seat seats which made them stand out from the local buses.

Back in the early 80's i remember seeing a bunch of GM fishbowl buses stored on a pier in Staten Island collapse & they was about a dozen fishbowls in the water ,some was still floating & others went down like a rock ,they recovered them by crane & barge

I remember all the fishbowl GM buses ,i also remember being inside one that my friends pops was driving & some idiot ran a red light & the bus driver just hit the red light runner instead of jamming on the brakes & causing injuries to his passengers, smart move as the other driver was at fault, we hardly felt the collision, it was built like a tank ,loved that the windows opened on those buses too ,but my favorite bus is the 1980's & 1990's GMC RTS2 (modern one) those was cool ,also those buses was used overseas as well & Daewoo/GM built a variant of it as well in South Korea for the Korean domestic market, they was solid

I wish you would have gone on the blue fishbowl. I wanted to see the inside of it.

Thanx for the great video. Love those 100 years plus "gate" cars. I see they still run them on the holiday specials bit only on the elevated sections. Will have to have a look at your other videos.

It’s nice to see that there’s an open platform car that can run on New York City transit authority’s rails, the Chicago Transit Authority sadly got rid of theirs and loaned it to a local history museum about 20 years ago, and it’s been on display inside since then. There’s another at a railroad museum north of Chicago that runs on occasion, but it’s not the same as it running on the home rails.

I remember the Buses from 1958 Some of them were still running on 2nd Avenue when I was going to High School back in the early 70's. I also remember some of the Buses from 1948. I remember when the Fish Bowl Buses came into service. They started without Air conditioning. But in 1959 the Fare Wasn't 20 cent it was 15 cent. Which means that bus was still running in 1970 when the fare went up to 20 cent.

Great video my friend do you remember the movie the Bronx Tale with Robert DeNiro that was a cool bus

Yay my year I was born

good video thanks for taking the time

There are actually 2 GM Fishbowls there, the third one is a Flxible; it definitely looks similar to the GM buses and they were both manufactured for many years with little change in appearance. I’m sure the ‘59 didn’t have power steering.

I didn't go to Bus Fest this year it was good I heard 🙂

I remember riding the old steel buses back in the 70s and the 80s in the Bronx.

The real sad part is they had torn down the 8 Thrid Ave Elevated line down in the Bronx. Another sad thing they should of have kept the trains running across Brooklyn Bridge.

I was watching the trains had ran across Brooklyn Bridge back in 1844 .
