Now, I'm really feeling old - the Fishbowl at (almost) Fifty.

I'm suprised any transit system is still running New Looks as they are pretty old by now.  The local transit system replaced most or all of their GM fleet with MAN buses in the early to mid 80s.

The local transit has sold off buses as new as 1991.  That is still over 15 years old, but not that old for a bus.

Up Here in Canada lots of cities are still running Fishbowls. Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, 

My City Saskatoon Has about 6 you can see anyday of the week.  Running along side the new stock.

Hard to kick out a work horse when he is still working hard.

Can't believe it's been almost  half century since I first rode a fishbowl transit. (1960 Fifth Avenue Coach TDH 5301)

I know what you mean, thinking about the first Fishy I rode on makes me feel old too!
