Your Favorite Bus Memories?

Any favorite bus memories you have recently or when you was younger? My favorite memories are when before the took over other bus companies like Jamaica Bus Inc., Green Bus Lines Inc, Command Bus Company Inc., Triboro Coach Inc.,  etc. I remember seeing a lot of RTS's, Orion V's(CNG's). Remember those pull cord string that people have to pull to ring the bell or push the strips? I think you can ring the bell multiple times after pressing it once. I remember being on the Q113 with my mom from Far Rockaway to Jamaica Av and It took us almost an hour and 30 minutes to get there, because the bus had to make all stops every other block. Sometimes my mom and I waited for the Q113 "Express", which only goes on Nassau Expressway after driving on Sheridan Blvd, then joined on Rockaway Turnpike before turning on Brookville Blvd.  When the took over the bus companies, I was happy. I saw the new Orion Vll's being tested along the Q113. The Q113 introduced "Limited" serivce. I do remember the Q113 used to have the D60HF's before NYC took it back and I still to this day call the articulated bus "snake bus" because they move like a snake when they turn. Im still mad RTS buses are gone from Baisley Bus Depot and they still are my favorite. I used to hate the Orion Vll's when they first became in service because the buses are low and I like to be high up like the RTS or Orion V or any buses that are not low floor. But I got over with it and I got used to it. Remember the RTS and Orion V buses, how wheelchair people used to get on the bus from the back  and the driver had to get up? After that, the driver had to restart the engine a couple of times. Sometimes the machine that lifted the wheelchair got stuck, Now, since the buses are low, they go from the front and easy to get on. I used to see bus ad "BusTalk" and now its "Improving Non-stop" ad. I want to here your memories. Does not have to be short or long. Think and type what you can remember.
