The RTS is a vastly underappreciated bus. Composite body, stainless steel frame, and built for hard city use. His coachbuilder did an outstanding job. That front door is awesome. It looks like it was built with it from the factory.
What a stunning coach. Beautiful inside and out. Thank you for showing us, and thanks to the owner for sharing his experience. Definitely one of a kind, and absolutely beautiful.
I have never slept in a bus let alone owned one but this coach inner desing and the way the rooms are layed out seems to me like an absolutly PERFECT place to live in. Beautiful!
OMG this is amazing. The first indication we didn't have an average bus was electric shades in the windshield. Then more and more and more. "Rainfall shower with built in lighting" - many would dream of this in their house! Very very nice. Much more than a purple bus. Must have cost a fortune, but look at the results.
I will know for sure if we ever cross paths. I do have that TV rig in mine. Not too hard or expensive. I bet folks see it and say Prince isn't dead, he went RVing!!
Started not liking the purple but the bus is so nicely laid out and of such high quality. It won me over. It’s the best conversion I’ve seen on the channel.
Oh, this is a great looking coach. Very nicely done. Love the one piece front door. These have always been a well styled bus. When GM decides to do styling right, they get it fantastically right! Style wise, these buses were decades ahead of their time.
Wowsers - even his broom was lavender/purple! The workmanship on this bus is really, really impressive. Like the color or not the caliber of the build is really impressive.
What a beautiful conversion I really love it and the colour is as he says very calming and love the hide away television who would have known that was there Best wishes from Derrick in Wales UK
Fabulous conversion.....the color is awesome! The fact that the RTS is contoured makes it all the more unique over all the other boxes on the road. Very European modern interior! Flawless in design and execution....one of the nicest conversion s I've ever seen...(nice to see an RTS find a new life. The MTA snapped most of ours....)
I'm not a huge fan of purple, but I could definitely see myself in that bus on some really long trips. That is super sharp. And my wife loves Prince so she would probably be an easy sell
Ever since a kid touring Lake Buena Vista and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, I have been in LOVE with RTS Bus!!! Ashamed they don't have them anymore:(
I love it not just because it's an RTS bus with 6V71 and ZF transmission, but because it reminds me of a starship on wheels decked out like that. Something from my fantasies. Looks very secure and ultra comfortable. A living dream.
That's a fantastic bus, nice layout, BIG bathroom.. And he'll never not be able to find it! Though IMHO there's a little too much purple, but personal tastes and all that. Way cool bus that looks like a really nice place to be!
my first car was a 59 beetle, i painted it the stock black with the doors and quarters in light ivory. Whenever people asked me for a ride, not knowing what i drive, i would just tell them to stand next to my car when i leave, they always stood next to the right car!
Nice bus RTS busses are great for converting roughly 6' 10" head room 102" wide typically the same running gear as a hwy bus maybe a different gear set up But bullet proof if I ever build another one I'll do one Scott ask him where he got the TV lift I've been looking for one for years I saw the drive video yeah that wheel has seen better days . Thanks for sharing.
I heard him just fine, but that is not a bad idea. Other than wireless mics and having to mix audio, he might have been louder if he had been in front of the camera during the tour, but I think it came out okay with the camera leading the owner-narrator through the tour.
I remember the place I grew up had these RTS buses, until the late 90s. Disney World also had a fleet of these, with the last one being retired in 2010.
Great looking coach! Here in Canada, the RTS didn't fly, so GMDD came up with the GMC Classic which eventually replaced the New Look. GMDD produced the Classic until 1992 when it was taken over by MCI. In 1997, MCI became NovaBus, which produces their products out of the same former GMDD plant just outside of Montreal
I had no idea these could even do highway speed. My college used them and I doubt they ever exceeded 40mph in their entire careers. I love the workmanship on this one. I even like the purple. It's a little too much purple for me personally, but I love that the owner is bold enough to do it his way, and he did it exceptionally well.
I drove them when I was a transit bus driver from 1988-2010 and we called them "RTS" rolling ton of sh!! They were hot in the front in the summer because of the front windshields generating the amount of heat in the winter, they were good for the winter because of the heat, they had 6v92t motors which were turned down to 50 mph and you were lucky to get 47 mph and 15-18 up any small hill, put the AC on you had to turn it off to go up a hill (after a lot of operators got tickets because they couldn't get it uphill, they turned them up and eventually they changed the blocking sheet so certain routes were no longer given a RTS so they could get up the hills with the bus)
That bus looks very comfortable. It’s wide and roomy. I can remember riding these on public transit and always thought how hard they rode and all the remember all the rattles. The conversion company did an excellent job. That bathroom is nicer than the ones in some homes.....so much headroom. Paradise Coach nice!
RTS is the model name, not the manufacturer - GM-built examples were also "RTS" examples. Nicely converted bus, even if I'm not crazy about the IP design and think it's a *bit* too much purple for my taste. :-)

It's like the DeLorean of buses!

Lol 😆 I was just saying that 🤣
Purple Rain, purple rain. Great song. Good name for this bus too.
Started not liking the purple but the bus is so nicely laid out and of such high quality. It won me over. It’s the best conversion I’ve seen on the channel.
Purple Haze. Beautiful bus. Thanks for the tour....just a slight note..a second mic would have been goods we could hear what the owner had to say.
Oh, this is a great looking coach. Very nicely done. Love the one piece front door. These have always been a well styled bus. When GM decides to do styling right, they get it fantastically right! Style wise, these buses were decades ahead of their time.
Were designed in the late 60s!

That is the most astonishing bus conversion I have ever seen. I love every aspect of it including the colour!
That bus is sick.
I didn't even know such an RTS conversion existed. Love the color so much.

Nice bus, one of a kind for sure!
I'm not a fan of purple but the quality and craftsmanship of that conversion is WOW. Thanks to both of you for the tour.
I'm a fan of purple now!
I like purple, but it’s just too much, needs some kind of stripe to break it up.
I was just thinking after the last video with this bus “I wish we could have seen the inside!” 😀
I love it not just because it's an RTS bus with 6V71 and ZF transmission, but because it reminds me of a starship on wheels decked out like that. Something from my fantasies.
Looks very secure and ultra comfortable. A living dream.
Epic color!
Love the front bumper...almost looks aerodynamic!
Bend in the wheel is from the former bus driver in the city! Rage at work!
Never change bro. Ride that purple bus. Sweet coach.
Now that's a kewl ass bus! Well thought out, well designed. I don't like purple, but this bus makes it look damn good!
Great vid guys. We love that bus… and Malcolm. Lookin good!
Wow. That is an amazing conversion. Well done to the owner, he’s got a masterpiece.
That's a fantastic bus, nice layout, BIG bathroom.. And he'll never not be able to find it! Though IMHO there's a little too much purple, but personal tastes and all that. Way cool bus that looks like a really nice place to be!

Beautiful conversion! I remember the RTS in NYC!!!!
Nice bus RTS busses are great for converting roughly 6' 10" head room 102" wide typically the same running gear as a hwy bus maybe a different gear set up
But bullet proof if I ever build another one I'll do one Scott ask him where he got the TV lift I've been looking for one for years
I saw the drive video yeah that wheel has seen better days . Thanks for sharing.
Man, what a nice way to live or spend time. Beautiful !
This is sooooo awesome man Pinky from Friday would be proud!
All I can say is WOW!! Never would have thought a city bus could look like this. Somebody spent some serious coin $$$
Yeah really - a city bus. Who would know?
Really nice conversion but you need a guest microphone we can't here him for the most part
I heard him just fine, but that is not a bad idea. Other than wireless mics and having to mix audio, he might have been louder if he had been in front of the camera during the tour, but I think it came out okay with the camera leading the owner-narrator through the tour.
I love this RV! I initially Saw this on Instagram first but it looks even better on this TH-cam video. Thanks for sharing!
That is one gorgeous bus! First rate conversion for sure, definitely all the creature comforts and then some!
Purple people eater comes to mind, looks awesome too. Cheers for videoing it for us bro. Safe travels up your way.
I was waiting for Xzibet (of pimp my ride fame) to peek in the door while you were showing it! Such a sweet bus!
The color is my favorite and looks amazing this is how I want my tiny home awesome job 👏🏾
No carpet, yay! Nice and clean! The purple is actually quite nice, I'd take that bus!
I remember the place I grew up had these RTS buses, until the late 90s. Disney World also had a fleet of these, with the last one being retired in 2010.
That's a beautiful bus! I like this conversation
I'm happy to hear the bent steering wheel will be corrected. An awesome purple bus needs a perfect steering wheel. All is good! Carry on!
He is properly cool dude, so his bus is too. ✌️

Wow! That thing is definitely purple lol....and really nice!
Marie from Breaking Bad would have loved this bus.
Very nice coach! Beautiful interior. I love the color!!
I had no idea these could even do highway speed. My college used them and I doubt they ever exceeded 40mph in their entire careers.

Wtf?! The cops gave a bus operator a ticket because the bus couldn’t make it up the hill?! How’s that the operators fault?
He certainly likes purple 👍👍
Is one very nice conversion looks incredible
I learned to drive a full sized bus in an RTS. This kind of conversion is SOOOO like what I would love to have in a rig.
That is a really nice conversion and one I would of never expected in a transit bus
That bus looks very comfortable. It’s wide and roomy. I can remember riding these on public transit and always thought how hard they rode and all the remember all the rattles. The conversion company did an excellent job. That bathroom is nicer than the ones in some homes.....so much headroom.
Paradise Coach nice!
When I started driving public transit in Los Angeles (RTD) in 1987 we drove 1981 RTS II,s I loved the coaches.!!!!
Beautiful conversion no audio on the video except for your voice I had to read the captions for his
Absolutamente fantástico, felicitaciones!! Saludos desde Zarcero, Costa Rica!!
What a great bus - thanks for the tour!
You really got to love purple because that is a lot of purple. That is a well done sleek looking coach
That is one fine bus, I know he is proud!
It a really cool conversion. Love the side isle and the lighting. The color is not bad either. Prince would have really loved it.
My Mum would love this Bus! She was purple mad too! Looks very comfortable ! 🇦🇺🍺🍺
Glad to see the rts coaches being converted to rvs love the rts
this is my new favorite video of a schoolie, great job sir
This is cool. It looks like something Prince would design if he was an RV'er.
That’s a nice conversion
Limited Stops. Cool license for an LTS! Be curious to know more about the underbay storage added -- always in short supply on this kind of bus I hear.
Love this bus conversion! Nice fellow too!
Very nice bus in purple,I think if prince viewed it he'd like it.👍
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿This is OUTSTANDING and my favorite color💜
P RAIN💜💜💜
What a VERY COOL bus! Thanks for sharing it!
That is a heck of a unique ride.
Beautiful bus but ideally Malcolm should have worn a purple outfit to set it all off!
i had absolutely nothing purple that was clean; i did 79 loads of laundry right after scott recorded this!!
You need to go to a Ravens home game in that, you will be an instant hit !
Expected Barney to come out of the bus.
Nice floor plan.
Nice bus. I could do with out the lavender. My first art teacher ditched a girl friend over her constant selection of lavender clothing. Thanks Scott.
I just saw this bus going same way on RT94 in Wisconsin very cool.
😎 Purple People Mover in style and comfort! Awesome
Its a beautiful bus, i remember when the RTS came to miami, they are all but gone now
Wow, that is so well done!
Dang. That’s cool. I’d rock that purple coach too.
Beautiful bus. That's a crazy build
Much purple. Very purple. Lots of purple. Purple. How much purple do you want, sir? ALL of it.
I vividly remember these busses back in jersey.
Beautiful and my favorite color
This is my kind of bus, this has my total attention
I know he forked out Alot of money for this bus.
That bathroom is amazing
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Wow that bus is epic !
Purple is the best color ever. Beautiful bus
Love the purple bus. Hate the swoops as well. Nice job.
Wish I could hear the owner but still an awesome tour of an awesome bus....
Prince would love it!
Purple Haze was in my brain,
lately things don't seem the same,
actin' funny but I don't know why
Ha another great tune and/or name for this bus !
Excuse me, while I kiss the sky.
HEY! I know the owner! The bus is ex-Golden Gate Transit 1989 TMC RTS #1146! I drive it many times in service!
That is a bus fit for a rock start!
One very cool coach and great colour too
Purple Rain. The color purple. When I'm old I shall wear a red hat.
Prince sure would be proud! Purple bus purple bus.🔮
RTS is the model name, not the manufacturer - GM-built examples were also "RTS" examples.
Nicely converted bus, even if I'm not crazy about the IP design and think it's a *bit* too much purple for my taste. :-)
OMG I love that coach!!
First thing I thought of was Prince!
Prince? The first thing I thought of was Barney!
see now you clowning with the TV ...lololol your bus is so dope... looks like a Prince Tour bus
