Inside, Outside , And a Ride on Flxible 870B NJT Bus 1596 

Ahh that sweet Detroit music I remember the 870s and Metros from Baltimore back in the day!

I believe that 1596 was in at the Atlantic City garage back in the 80s through 2000 it was on the 501 through the 509 lines also 552 through the 559 full service lines and back in 1997 the nj transit buses moved in to the egg harbor township garage and they demolished the Atlantic City municipal bus terminal in the same year to make room for future construction and it's unsafe for customers and employees of nj transit then the next bus terminal was at Atlantic and Michigan avenues instead of the one at Arctic and Arkansas Avenues wich was demolished and we are at Atlantic and Ohio avenues since 2004

Still my favorite transit style bus

This was the bus that we were supposed to have for mass transit here in NYC in the early 80's. The one that had the A frame issues from Grumman? It's a beautiful & timeless looking bus on the outside, looked GREAT in the old NYC MTA livery and logo. It seemed to have much more torque and speed than the GMC RTS (not a fan) that succeeded them too.

I use to ride these buses back in the late 70s it was great and the nyc ones too. Two bed they had to go cause they had problems all of them then had to use the buses from DC for new york sad shame they were great..

I miss these buses ❤

Man, they don't build them like this anymore.😢

Awesomeness video!!

This bus reminds me of the ones Jefferson Parish Transit had purchased in both the 1982 Grumman version and the 1984 Flxible Metro B models with the same motor sound.

Great video!

My god these NJ Transit styles were my favorite. My childhood memories. Honestly I like the NJ Transits better then PA’s SEPTA’s

Brings back lots of childhood memories for sure! That old Detroit sounds great!

I remember this ones in San Juan too from 1987 thru 1998, 1980 Grumman Flxible 870 Ex New York City Transit

Houston Metro had them also in 1985.

Another thing….. times are definitely changing because I don’t remember these Flxibles sounding like that

Oid scrtd have this bus all 230 bus back in the day and I used to right on these buses to school back in the 80s

Nice video

And la Metro have the buses in till 2003 when it was RTD and it became natural they were tired all retired from service

It was a express bus wasn't it??????

I noticed no wheelchair lift and space. What year was this ciach built?

The same 870 that Autoridad Metropolitana de Autobuses receive from New York

The under carriage on these buses was the problem that's why they had to go..New York had a big problem so they call WASHINGTON DC to use their buses for awhile in the 80s

Grumman Flxible

Ex NYCT # 401(Ex Castleton Depot)

Wow

Ho/Rite on!
