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
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.
Great review. the D60s are one of the buses that defines NYC transit!!!
These D60HFs we're my childhood back then.
I can remember one time I took one on the Bx5 towards Simpson St. It was the unit 1023 as a 1997 unit.
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
Yes!!!! The Reviews!!!
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.
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
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?
You could find D60HF’s in Brooklyn by riding the Q35.
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
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.
+Monica Matos thanks glad you like it
R.I.P D60HF Buses 1996-2019
(11:29) I appreciate you for using my video, bro.
One of them is still in the scrap yard waiting to be scraped
That's 5534 which is a museum bus
I use to ride 1078 on the Bx19 when I was a kid
The first 1997 D60 I rode was 1009 and I still love it to death
I love this video especially since its the M15 my bus route!
1996-98 New Flyer D60HF assembled at
Winnipeg MB Canada &Crookston, MN
I remember seeing these buses on the M101 & also the younger sisters are now being retired.
These are the younger sisters. These are the first D60HFs. Then the 1998-2000 D60HFs. Finally, there were the 2002-04 D60HFs.
I'm surprised that NYCTA didn't test out Ikarus 436
OMG I used to call them stitches buses due to the accordion!
Lol
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
***** Oh Really cool
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?
Honestly I love when these buses are screeching
Me 2
Imagine one of these with LOUD air starters!
Ohhh man
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
+Kody Jackson iMovie and Finalcut
Thanks Dude, I know how to edit videos without using UA-cam editor
Yes finally I was waiting for this review
1st bus I rode was 1094, then 1085, 1093 and 1084! 😆
DAMN! nice I need to start making reviews also LoL
very nice
The HF series is like the original PS2, and the LF Series is like the PS2 Slim.
ANIME-AND-BUSES you can say that
Very informative
Have the D60HF been in a Brooklyn Depot before?
Nope
@@kalelc1996 The D60s never ran in brooklyn? s a d
I had 5519 and 5731 before
Nice job
I missed does buses, had a lot of room in my opinion, was a dumb move and kinda smart
Why did they replace Alcoa rims
+2004OrionVIICNG I actually remember seeing some as late as 2004
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?
1004 is scrapped. Only MTA D60HF that remains is 5534
Whoa timeout I thought these buses came out in 1999-2000
JFK Youto have em
Translink had 1991-1992 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 new flyer d60hf and d40hf
Those were my buses
81992 could have been successful because they had THREE doors; talk about overcrowding reduction!
I'm sure if New York City Transit Authority wasn't as close-minded it probably would have been
@@kalelc1996 They seem to be more short-sighted AND closed-minded.
Can you make a MJQ review Please that's my dream
Kevin Blue The Super Subway Bros are taking care of that
@@kalelc1996 hey what is the name of the music you played in this video
@@equanjonesthetransitfanner One step away by Laszlo
@@kalelc1996 alright thanks
why didnt you use the song from the upcoming reviews video
CrownKing no because that song was perfect for that video. each bus has it's own theme song
oh ok hahaha when is your next review cant wait for the new flyer viking review i think your going forward in histroy
CrownKing My next review will be on the Orion VII CNGs
i thought you were supposed to do the new flyer d60 from 1999 2000
CrownKing Yea but the Orion VII CNGs are retiring right now

Neoplan Artic to me weren't very attractive to be at NYC, So glad that they didn't get them

+Sho Bud I will soon
When he said ten thousand you meant to say ten hundred or one thousand
Redsteil yea
