This reminds me of our Ex-WMATA Neoplan 5300's with the exact same powertrain. I miss those powerful Series 60 engines when taking off and fun to drive with a CDL.
They were retired way too sooner than everyone expected for additional years in service. These were the only buses with overrated power at 375 HP when they were delivered in early 2000's.
NJ Transit's Current Neoplan AN459 Buses are one-two years newer than these and they are falling appart. I saw them today at the Lincoln tunnel. The paint is chipping away, they are dented, and the articulated section falling apart underneath. At an angle I saw one of their Neoplan buses dragging pieces of itself on the ground as it was operating. But it is still good to see them around. But not for long though, unfortunately. I hope these new DASH Neoplan Artics have a long and good future!
Ya'll are going to love these buses. Bee Line took very good of them

Too bad the NYC MtA didn’t sell their RTS busses but scrapped them.
Everytime I ride these kinds of bendy buses I've always sit down in the middle seats it has been my favorite seats since I was a little girl 😃😃😃😃😃😉😉😉😉
Same here!
Damn I'm gonna have to come out to Alexandria this summer to catch these bad boys!
Yep now your chance this summer
You can also still ride a Ex-Bee Line Neoplan in New York during the summer as well.

wow they look like they are in good shape too
Bee Line still has One Neoplan in service #577 and I try to hunt it down everyday so far I've caught it 7 times before today
BMT Brighton Line 2019
Is it gone now?
I'll Miss them with the original paint😢
I was hoping Greyhound or one of the Chinese charter bus companies got a few of these artics
Shit i wish SEPTA wouldve got this beeline bus
What?!🤯
Yessir lol
Why didn’t WMATA give them their neoplasm to DASH and Fairfax?
WMATA Neoplans retired back in 2016 and FFC and Dash don’t really need tics. Now Dash got some just for the shuttle service this summer only
I would love for the guys that have private bus owner to get these.
