This coach was retired due to an accident of some sort, but while it still existed, such as in this video, it was nice to see, just as much with 6868. In this video, I also have one of my favorite DE60LFR startup clips, from the inside. The bus shaked itself apart before the engine calmed down upon startup, as an Allison hybrid usually does.
The 5 is also a cool route, one of my favorite Central routes, and was cool both with the original DE60LFs and the XDE60s, but in this video, it's an LFR. This is also one of the oldest Metro routes, originally ending at Phinney ridge and interlining with the 54 or 55. The number 5 went right next to the 6, which served Aurora Ave alongside, just a few blocks over.
