San Diego Red New Flyer C40LF on freeway

Riding on a San Diego Red New Flyer

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

Yes. The New Flyers in black, with red and blue stripes are SDTC.

[@Negibus]

As I know they are powered by Ditroit V6 CNG engine with ZF gearbox, but not sure thay are 4 or 5 speed.

[@Negibus]

They are old already, If I don't get anything wrong they are new on 80's, and high floor also is already out of date during this generation. Since additional batch of New Flyer C40LF added in the fleet in 2008
(Fleet number 25xx), and NCTD cutted off some bus service in North County, those Flixable buses seems facing their end of the life.

[@Negibus]

The bus I was riding is #4XX, also there are a batch of the same buses running on route 9XX series, in fleet number 27XX. I'm not sure which model of engine they are using but I'm sure they are using Cummins engine, with ZF transmission.

[@Negibus]

They were join the fleet around 2004-2005

[@brownbrownson]

i thought it was the other way around... why are there two different companies out there?

[@MetroLinerXLZ]

Nah man, these joinks have Cummins C Gas+ engines. These have ZF transmissions, so they must be the MTS New Flyers and not the SDTC New Flyers, as they have B400R transmissions.

[@jfs1988]

Is NCTD and MTS the same bus company?

[@brownbrownson]

the red ones are MTS right?

[@brownbrownson]

what engine is this? cummins ISL?

[@Negibus]

No, they are totally different.

[@general682002]

Any idea what fleet # is it?

[@blazeginsberg7278]

This bus is one of MTS's 400 series new flyer C40LF's.

[@Negibus]

Sorry but I don't have any video for that.
