Grumman vs. NYC Potholes: The Fight to Fix the Flxible 870 Bus [History of Buses]

Note: Many of the images in this video are from https://www.nycsubway.org/wiki/Bus_Ph... Not too long ago, I published a video about the New York Grumman bus crisis, in which the New York City Transit Authority pulled its entire fleet of 851 Grumman buses off the streets due to concerns about cracked A-frames and other issues. Since that video did so well, surpassing expectations, I decided to do a follow-up video. This time, we go back to 1981, and we learn how Grumman used one of the worst streets in Brooklyn to test and develop a new A-frame for the 870, as well as a new frame for the upcoming Metro bus. It's a fight to fix the 870! Additionally, from viewer Glenn Brown, a New York City bus expert: The MTA was so impressed with the Flxible Metro that they placed an order for them in 1995. Unfortunately, Flxible went bankrupt and could not fulfill the order. By then Flxible was owned by General Automotive of Ireland. NYC had 2 Metro demos. I rode one on Queens Surface. The other ran on Green Bus Lies routes. They were outfitted the MTA 2x1 blue hard seats. #buses #newyorkcitytransit #rapidtransit
