In regular service on a regular public bus route:

A couple of GM Fishbowls (don't know the model number or year of manufacture) on BC Transit's #25 route in Vancouver. Now here's the thing... not knowing what model year this bus was and knowing that they were manufactured up to the early 80's in Canada, it could very well have NOT been the OLDEST bus, but the oldest LOOKING bus.

In that case, I have ridden MANY times on NJ Transit's 1981 Grumman 870's and MC-9A's, as well as their secondhand (lavatory equipped) MC-9's a couple of times.

There's also the late 70's/early 80's vintage New Flyer trackless trolleys of BC Transit and SF MUNI that I rode on a few times.

Now... as for special services, there is of course the buffet of Old Look, New Look and Fishbowls from the Vintage Bus lineup and the Rockaways R-1/9 and bus excursion last year. I also rode a 1970's vintage MC-5 at Yellowstone National Park.
