Favorite Bus

[Tritransit Area]

Let me also add 2801 like 79MetroExtra said. The sign of course.

Ride On:
C40LFs -- The only Ride On buses worth riding in my opinion, no offense to Ride On fans.
Gillig Advantage (Deisel) Because they look so damn awesome!!

The Bus:
63160 (Gear shift noise)
Orion Vs (Even though these things have no LCD, they sound just like our 4200s/4300s)

WOW, of all the buses Ride-On has, you choose the C40LFs to be the only ones worth riding?  That's very interesting!  I completely disagree (as I come from the land of New Flyers and as those have those Allison/C-Gas Plus powertrains that are so overdone by WMATA), but it's interesting to know your point of view.

I'll just list my favorites by the TA. My list includes buses in service and retired ones.

CTS:
GMC RTS #820 (this bus had the perfect V-730 transmission; tuned just the way I like it. And this was a GMC RTS)
New Flyer D35LF #821 (that bus is nightmarishly fast)

UTS:
Orion I#5337 (that bus had a smooth buzzing exhaust you could hear a mile away)
Gillig Phantom #2736 (acceleration, engine scream from the Series 40, and the fact that it always tends to stay clean regardless of the environment)

GRTC:
Flxible Metro #120 (sounded just New Jersey Transit #3582)
Flxible Metro #312 (perfect take-off)
Gillig Phantom #401
Gillig Low Floor #504

HRT:
All them 700-series Metros, especially when they got the new angled exhaust pipes
Orion V #903 (last time I rode it, it was "ticking", from what I hear, it still is)

WMATA:
Flxible Metro B #8854 (the bus shifted like a ZF when it went into 3rd gear)
Flxible Metro D
Flxible Metro E #4054, 4076, 4098 (those three in particular shift like they have V-730s. Plus, the leans are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!)
Orion V #2198 (sweet shifting plus a sweet whistling exhaust equal sweetness)
Any Orion VI with the fans that cut on when the bus slows down (cuz I LOVE that S---!!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!)
Any Orion VII (JD Series) with a scream
New Flyer C40LF #2463

Ride On:
Orion V CNG #5914
The low 59s, cuz those them screamers, especially #5909 and #5914.
Orion I #5537
New Flyer C40LF #5826

DASH Orion V #63 (I always seem to get that one and wind up getting some awesome rides afterward)

PAT (Petersburg)
Flxible Metro C #108 (it had that nice, slow, calm takeoff)
