Uno de los buses mas antiguos del ex Transantiago, un sistema de transporte que ha dejado mas quejas que mejoras en la calidad de vida, pero que de alguna manera el característico diseño de la carrocería de estos buses es parte de la "cultura" santiaguina, en este video pongo una recopilación de imágenes junto con el ya característico sonido de la caja de cambios automática y el motor con bomba lineal, que ya para 2005 estaba quedando bastante obsoleto por un tema de rendimiento y emisiones.
