A Look into the History of Bus Transportation | MotorWeek FYI

I always think of the military who rode busses to boot camp or back home after a tour of duty. Awesome.

So awesome!

Surprised to see no Orion/OBI representation.

Ahh if only those busses could talk about the racism they encountered

Ah ha, hush that fuss, everybody move to da back of the bus...

And now I wish I went to aaca just a couple weeks later. I could of possibly met John Davis. Oh do I wish. Anyway, tucker torpedo. They have a few off them. And I disagree with the electrification of vehicles. It's air vs ground water. Would you rather have the air be polluted, which we can create more of or the world's drinking water which we can make more of. Sleep on that one...

We had 6v71 powered buses here in Ireland , the sound they produced was amazing. Who doesn’t love a screamin’ Detroit diesel?

I would travel to Hershey Pennsylvania to meet her but her voice is strange

For us Millennials what about the beloved Flixble Metros and Gillig Phantoms and Neoplan AN440,l.

I love these sorts automotive history videos.

Thanks!

I miss those Fishbowls.

The GMC fishbowls are my favorite

If I wanted to bring my own bus to the Spring Fling, it would not just be a school bus, but also a different type of bus that is associated with a university.

Beautiful buses

GLI (Greyhound-USA) did not operate MC-9's with manual transmissions.The last GLI buses with manual transmissions were the 1973 MC-7's, GLI's MC-8's, MC-9's, 96-A3's, 102-A3's, 102-D3's, 102-DL3's/D-4500's, G-4100's/4500's, & Prevost X-3's have all been automatic transmissions, so Mr. Nelson must have driven another company's MC-9 if it was a manual transmission.

Im a assembly Worker at NovaBus in Quebec Canada we are building the LFS since 1996 before the plant was built in the late 60's and owned by GM they were building the iconic GM bus for the Canadian market

Very cool history Uncle John!

Greyhound Canada has gone out of business due to a lack of ridership. Half of all long-distance bus companies in Canada have disappeared over the past 4 years. Everyone is either flying to taking their car.

Forget the busses, Stephanie you’re looking smashing!

Very cool video I'm now 49 years old from downtown Hamilton Ontario Canada and grew up in Toronto and remember riding those late 60's and 70's GMC buses alot.

As much as I love the fishbowls and the amg buses, the advanced design buses were from my childhood like grumman 870, flixble metro and the rts.

Cool video ! I drove a 1978 GM New look city bus in Canada .

Nice I'm definitely a vintage bus enthusiast!

I used to drive city bus. When I left, they brought out a new fleet of CNG powered buses. Those things were fast. They couldn't handle highways that well, but they were a blast to throw around the city compared to the garbage hybrid buses that were barely putzing around. The fact is, most bus companies out there still us and prefer diesel. The only time you'll find a fully electric bus is in jam packed cities like D.C., and even then, those buses cant go for more than 8 hours without needing a charge. Public transportation will be relying on Diesel and CNG for many decades to come.

The fishbowls are what got my attention, mostly due to seeing them in many, many movies, Speed being the most iconic.

did he just say be became a “bus nut” 🥴🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And the lady said “he made us one too” 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MY POOR MIND 🥴🤣

Awesome 🤩

I'm finna bus nut

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I LOVE THE MANY FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION.

My childhood bus is the Orión 1 operated by Pace in Chicago I loved that 6V92
💪🏻👍😎

As cool as it is to see these classic buses, it's sad to see 5180, the GM fishbowl from Santa Monica, being the most misrepresented bus in their collection. That bus was never part of the movie Speed, although the ones used in the movie were painted similar. The movie ones were decalled differently from the actual to give that degree lf separation. This bus was never used as a backup in Speed, nor was it even on any of the production sets.

The real and only key valid history of this bus is 5180 is the absolute last GM fishbowl bus off the production line from Canada, and built 9 years after the last GM fishbowl came off the US assembly line.

Trust me very few want electric cars.

She hot

electric cars is not the thing that people are wanting lol 🤣 were did u get that from lol most people feel like it's being shoved down our throats

For a long time I thought I was the only extreme bus enthusiasts,but that's a wonderful feeling when you find out you're not alone. My first word I ever spoke when I was little baby was bus, believe it or not.

I grew up with these old GM buses in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Where is the MAN Americana?

Now no whites allowed on thetulsateansit or is it just me

I have an RV that looks like an old bus. You can catch a glimpse of it in my videos. It's a beautiful machine for being almost 30 yrs old.

some of the info here is incorrect as well as the pronunciation of the name Fageol. The fishbowl bus shown here was not used in the film. This one has a glaring difference between it and the real movie bus. The missing "D" window on the right side. This was common on the 1986 Canadian made buses. The last year they were made GM must have run out of parts and they didn't have right side "D" windows. Also they showed a flxible bus when they were talking about a Scenicruiser.

What, MW did a vintage bus episode? And Gary is in it, Sweet!!!

Zazur museum of bus 🚌

Thanks Motorweek for talking about buses I’m into the vintage stuff

Any bus of the buses on the set of speed by far the most valuable asset there . Thanks!
