OMG this is the goods! I should'a rolled with you on this journey and gotten the #44 back home. Might have to launch off early one day next week and say my prayers for a repeat!
I miss the sound of them old school Detroits 6v and 8v. I remember you have to turn off the AC just to get the bus to climb up Saratoga coming past Calvert, traveling West bound.
the flxible metro c 40102 6TL with the 6L 71 Detroit diesel engine with the v731 Allison automatic transmission have the grummanflxible 870 spirit in the flxible metro buses
We miss you, Flexibles!! 👍👍
the sound and the memories growing up i was there in the 90s riding these buses.
I love these buses. Too bad the deep bassy ones are gone: 9213, 9214, 9226, 9233, 9236, 9246, and 9250.

The memories
Holy crap, I didn't know the 1992's had 6L71TA's!! :O O_O
Yess these was always my favorite buses from back in day also the the fishbowls was pretty cool to ride
@kell011089 god knows they were slow on the take off, but EVEN SLOWER with the A/C running but boy when they got going they were the SH*T.
WOW Flxes with these engines still running (i hope).
shame these buses are gone. They sound just like LACMTAs 2800s
My youth
@ea90744
But the 2900 series used the more powerful 6V92TA although they had the same V731 transmission as the 2800s.
please tell me this bus is still in service.
The ignorance of pressing the yellow tape early for a stop before the driver kills it down the hill....sheeeesh!!!
Just like Chi-CTA's 1991 Flxibles and Lansing MI CATA's 1988/91's Flxible Metro's were very Slow take-offs but once it got to 2nd gear it Haul's Ass.
