I remember my first time riding on this 1997 Newflyer D60HF bus on the Bx55 bus with my grandmother, damn I was excited to ride it! At first I was scared of them, and I had alot of memories riding them. I used to nicknamed these the Accordion bus

[@BronXLimited]

I loved riding all 3 orders of D60HF's and the Detroit Series 50 Engine on all 3 were godly, and I loved the fact that they would do wheelsliping most of the time and some even had roaring engines, the last EVER D60HF I rode was 9501 on the BX9 while an RTS on the BX28 was trailing behind it at kingsbridge.

[@Eureeka1989]

These D60HFs we're my childhood back then.

[@ShadeJay]

Great review. the D60s are one of the buses that defines NYC transit!!!

[@Sevvy_staxkz]

I can remember one time I took one on the Bx5 towards Simpson St. It was the unit 1023 as a 1997 unit.

[@Transit019]

(11:29) I appreciate you for using my video, bro.

[@transportationnetwork1324]

Yes!!!! The Reviews!!!

[@urenajuanify]

Yes finally I was waiting for this review

[@monica012077]

Impressive review! Really brought back memories. I remember seeing these buses brand new when I came home from college break. We called them accordion buses and you never rode in the back. In the winter during snowstorms the back part would slide around to meet the front on hills. Still I try to ride one whenever I get the chance.

[@kalelc1996]

+Monica Matos thanks glad you like it

[@mzcat76]

at 0:54 #1000 was the First D60HF that came out and I used to live in the Bronx and I saw that bus #Memories

[@Bombardier2199]

I remember Kingsbridge Depot having these buses. The 1996-98 D60HFs on the Bx2 were my favorites. Just before the 2012 XD60s and 2010 LFSAs started replacing them

[@lebronpryor6677]

Galexy DH60 artics were great buses, the first time I rode one was on route Bx9,Bx41,Bx55. I love ride , and proud to be a MaBstoa kid

[@KevinMeno2008]

I think these buses should've remained with MTA NYCT for trippers and Subway Shuttles and maybe transferred some to JFK Depot MTA Bus for the Q10, Q21, Q52, and Q53 routes.

[@ivanrblx4369]

I love this video especially since its the M15 my bus route!

[@danielsamuels4967]

Amazing! Those D60HFs remind me of the Septa Neoplan An460s. It's too bad both of these buses are retired. Now what was that about a D60HF in Brooklyn? Just imagine these buses out of Casey Stengel Depot on the Q44. That would've been cool, right?

[@Vxllain]

You could find D60HF’s in Brooklyn by riding the Q35.

[@AgeWYL]

I use to ride 1078 on the Bx19 when I was a kid

[@RobertAstoriaGrand]

The first 1997 D60 I rode was 1009 and I still love it to death

[@TransportSimulatorNationTSN]

Nice job

[@andydiaz1712]

I remember seeing these buses on the M101 & also the younger sisters are now being retired.

[@Sevvy_staxkz]

These are the younger sisters. These are the first D60HFs. Then the 1998-2000 D60HFs. Finally, there were the 2002-04 D60HFs.

[@chelsealopez260]

very nice

[@BryceCBS]

1996-98 New Flyer D60HF assembled at
Winnipeg MB Canada &Crookston, MN

[@blackpit1769]

One of them is still in the scrap yard waiting to be scraped

[@kalelc1996]

That's 5534 which is a museum bus

[@transportationnetwork1324]

My frist memorie of these badboys was when I use to live in the Bronx and I lived by the Bee line routes and I lived very closed to the BX20 so To see KB artic lines I had to walk and My very frist time seeing one was on the BX1 mind you I lived close to the BX36 and 33 and 32

[@transportationnetwork1324]

***** Oh Really cool

[@AgeWYL]

Kal-El, I know this is none of my buisness but, what is the editor do you use to make your videos? I'm just curious :3

[@kalelc1996]

+Kody Jackson iMovie and Finalcut

[@AgeWYL]

Thanks Dude, I know how to edit videos without using TH-cam editor

[@donkeyb2961]

OMG I used to call them stitches buses due to the accordion!

[@centralvirginiabuses7710]

Lol

[@trainluvr]

Very informative

[@knightclassic1]

I'm surprised that NYCTA didn't test out Ikarus 436

[@josephnyy86]

I remember when I first saw one in 1997 on 167th and Grand Concourse on the Bx1 with the chrome rims. I was in awe. Why doesn't the MTA like those rims?

[@tubblescousine257]

DAMN! nice I need to start making reviews also LoL

[@r160fan7]

Imagine one of these with LOUD air starters!

[@kalelc1996]

Ohhh man

[@iitrapezoid_8243]

Not once did I get to ride these... Or any of the other D60s. Do you have a street name for where 1004 is preserved?

[@ajaytransitproductions]

1004 is scrapped. Only MTA D60HF that remains is 5534

[@donkeyb2961]

1st bus I rode was 1094, then 1085, 1093 and 1084! 😆

[@joebankz6478]

Whoa timeout I thought these buses came out in 1999-2000

[@batmanthedarkknight3463]

I missed does buses, had a lot of room in my opinion, was a dumb move and kinda smart

[@TheEmptyP90]

Honestly I love when these buses are screeching

[@AutomotiveTaurus]

[@hallbatson155]

cool

[@ANIMEANDBUSES]

The HF series is like the original PS2, and the LF Series is like the PS2 Slim.

[@kalelc1996]

ANIME-AND-BUSES you can say that

[@RobertAstoriaGrand]

Those were my buses

[@MaBSTOARTS]

I had 5519 and 5731 before

[@RAProductions-jl5dz]

Nope

I'm sure if New York City Transit Authority wasn't as close-minded it probably would have been
