    I used to ride on these beauties when I was a kid. Love the old style buses. Thanks for posting.

    This really brings back memories, I grew up in NYC and remember the first of the fishbowl buses that replaced these. These had a unique smell of the exhaust that I still recall today. Great blast from the past...wish we could travel back in time to an earlier simpler era...

    Those window designs on the vintage buses came along about 1954. Prior to that the side windows had square corners. The 1954 and later had rounded corners on the side windows. Great video with memories.

    I'm not too sure, I know they run on the M42 but I guess they run along other routes selectively.

    Wow! Those look immaculate also! I sure remember in Portland, Oregon when Rose City Transit ran them all over in the 1960's--rides just 15 cents. I think Tri-Met still runs a handful of GMC fishbowls along a regular route.

  • @tangomaniac1
    @tangomaniac1 14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The roll signs are in the wrong place on the 2969. The correct location is route number on the left (when facing the bus) and the destination on the right above the operator.

    Love the look and sound of both the new and old look busses with those classic 6V71 (or turbo 8V71 if you had a big, heavy a/c pack top back on the new look long ride Atlantic City Jersey Coaches) 2 stroke engines...

    How could anyone be nostalgic for these awful things that displaced the streetcar system? I can almost smell the blast of diesel exhaust as this thing goes by! How wonderful!

    They are noisy because their engines are air cooled. They don't have a water jacket to isolate the natural noise of the internal combustion engine.

  • @wmbrown6
    @wmbrown6 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The '2969' that runs every Christmas time is NOT the original bus immortalized in that "Honeymooners" photo. That bus in which Gleason, Carney et al. posed was a TDH-4509 originally built for NYC Omnibus Corp. (one of the many predecessors, in terms of bus routes, to MaBSTOA which is today part of MTA's NYC Bus) in the November-December 1950 period. Apparently, that original bus was long discarded and the TDH-5101 in use today is a "stand-in."
