OCTA 2007 New Flyer C40LFR #5503

To mark the end of OCTA’s February 2020 bid this past Saturday, I took a quick round trip on the 53 between ARTIC and Main/La Veta, near OCTA’s headquarters. The first unit I rode was 5503, a 2007 New Flyer C40LFR which I actually haven’t filmed yet so it was nice to finally add it to my list of C40LFRs that I’ve filmed so far. In addition, this unit has an interesting axle sound whenever the bus takes off, similar to the sound heard on 7591.
