I am freaking done... the way it stayed revving so high as the THROATY exhaust passed by! This is exactly what makes L10G's f#%king awesome!!

[@lolfunnycp]

And also that CNG whine tho!

[@8v71buses]

Niceeee:)

[@andresramirez195c]

Golden Empire Transit Orion Vs had that same engine and transmission. But they're not in service anymore.

[@danielsamuels3093]

1431 had that ringing noise too? I thought the only bus from that batch capable of ringing was 1518.

[@thrashakilla]

i miss when the long island buses were apart of the mta and not being bullshitted by nice

[@Caitsith810]

Well, Long Island bullshitted the MTA by not paying them the $106,000,000 they owed them. NICE has gotten better over the years in my opinion. They were garbage at first, but that was because of Ed Mangano cutting their funds.

[@xvercetti08]

Why is the sing so short is longer then that

[@xvercetti08]

Sign

[@xvercetti08]

This sound weird its probably broke down cause In 2018 I never see these buses

[@trillboygaming4332]

JustinGaming YT yeah I don't see these anymore. Only the newer VII Orion buses.

[@xvercetti08]

[@Mayaisawesome91]

HELL YEAAAAAAHH OMG IM DONE WITH THE THROATY EXHAUST

[@lgaalt6380]

[@Caitsith810]

How?

[@lgaalt6380]

It’s trying to ring like the MTA ones

[@Caitsith810]

No....that's how they always sounded.
And these WERE MTA buses....MTA LONG ISLAND buses.

[@lgaalt6380]

It’s just sad
