  • Today, we drive one of Shuttle-UM's 2019 Gillig 29' Low Floor Transit Bus, unit 7619. Empty bus, not in service. This is a video created with scrap material from a recording I did over a year ago, so bear with the short run-time.
    Engine: Cummins L9
    Transmission: Voith D864.6
    Camera: GoPro Hero 8 Black

    Im surprised at how old it looks for a bus from 2019.
    And how loud it is.
    That’s completely different from European buses. But its not a bad thing! This one has a lot more personality to it!

      Yeah, Gillig low floor buses have not changed in appearance much since they were introduced in 1996. I think north American buses in general look a little outdated because the body styling is not updated often
