West Vancouver Blue Bus – CMBC / Translink 1991 New Flyer Industries D60 #913

20 May

A ride aboard West Vancouver Blue Bus 1991 New Flyer D60 #913 on the route 257 from downtown Vancouver to Park Royal Mall. Bus is powered by the Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and the Allison HTB-748 transmission.

Just my first test run, not the best quality, but I will play around with it to try and improve it, and for some reason there is an absence of sound. Anyone know how to help, please leave comments below!
