I love these buses and i always will. it sucks to see them retire. But these buses were great! I remember riding these buses on the b3 when i used to live near kings plaza. And i rember that these buses had the air starter that sounded wierd, but still sounded great! they will be missed.
1996-2019 ;[
Great shots of the 1990s love it! The cars! The caprices and the crown vics everywhere!
I saw the Fresh Pond Depot Review. Knuckles from The Super Subway Bros told me he thought taking an RTS with the M11E engine to Downtown Brooklyn on the B38 was the jump off. I even had a dream in which I was born in 1996 as well. In my dream, I got to see those buses not that long before the budget cuts in 2010. I bet that's why 9140-9149 are now gone.
These busses were EVERYBODYS CHILDHOOD BUSSES
i remember riding these buses on the b3 when i used to live near kings plaza
Umm I was bro in 2008 so do they count for my and still ongoing childhood
Facts
Mine was the NABI 40 LFW
9140-9149 were delivered with the Cummins M11E Engine (Allison V731 Transmission).
Yep to Fresh Pond
8750-9139 & 9150-9348 were Originally powered by the Series 50 DDEC Engine (Allison V731 Transmission).
Throughout the years, the 1996 Novabus RTS are sent to Queens Village, Jamaica, Manhattanville, Michael J Quil, East New York and Flatbush and Ulmer Park depots.
Dude your videos are awesome on these buses. Although i moved from NY I remember those buses.
it sucks to see you moved, but now these buses retired, if you didnt know that, but these buses were AWSOME! i remember riding these on the b3
Man, I really miss em' now their gone, but I was fun while they lasted. Sadly I never took a video of them. But, I do have one pic of it on the B44. Anyways, this was a great review and thanks for making this as the 95'/96' RTS are my fav thanks for this.
i miss these buses a lot. i remember riding these on the b3
bro very nice review i drive these buses every day ( m66 , m72 ) there are still (black rear engine vent cover buses in quill running to this day . ... out of the quill depo ....
also we met briefly the other day while you were filming the m57 ,m72 line ... (broadway and 72 street)
also keep up the good work .... and look into a 360 camera set up to get a better shot of the bus stops and buses etc

Im 25 years old and I've always luv da old buses like dese from da looka to da sounds of dem roarin in the streets i dont really care for da new buses
I don't care for Orion VII NGs but I'll rather drive them over Xcelsiors because of course, I love Orions as much as RTS, Flxible Metros, GM Old-New Looks and MCI-GM Classics.
Bro these the orions and the 93 and 99 rts were marks of my CHILDHOOD💔
1990-91s were the Largest Order of RTS during TMCs Era
Yo Kal-El, get those rides in. Laguirdia only has 4 96' RTS units left.
I have
KA-el!!!! I FOUND 9043 ON THE Q18 LAST MONDAY!!!!
2:30 LOL U SAID THE NUMBERS BACKWARDS
I can't believe 1996 was 28 years ago.
I Remember Taking Them
Bus 8797 was reconverted again and I always see it running in downtown Brooklyn. I Think it became a metrocard bus.
I wish these buses have 6v92 engine along with the following buses from 1997;1998;1999.
They have the best horns as well.
My favorite anyway.
8750-9139 & 9150-9348 were Originally Powered by the Series 50 DDEC Engine (Allison V731 Transmission).
9140-9149 were delivered with Cummins M11E Engine (Allison V731 Transmission).
+Kal-El Last Friday I Seen An 1996 Novabus-RTS On The Q47 Bus.
TMC RTS MY FAV
You are right, because rts 9348 came back in to service
Express buses i used to ride x27 and x28!
I’m just digging the bachata
I hope they Saved One of them
I miss the Cummins RTSs.
+Kal-El Two Next Gens are at the scrap yard at Eastchester. And 3741 from LGA did catch fire.
2004OrionVIICNG Ya
like old bus
4:53 how dare you!!!
like bus
Somebody told me that Manhattanville depot does not have any rts's and they are covered all with hybrids and Orion's which is sad. Also do you have info if Manhattanville has ordered new busses
+Ronny Gomez Manhattanville recently got some RTSs back since the summer!!! They currently have about 3 or 4
jfk bus depot still have a handful of these left. Jamaica depot was the last in nycta system to have these buses but they were all ready retired between march and April 2016
I was told by an MTA worker that some might be coming back
Most likely that's the reason, but who cares why. THE RTSs RETURN!!!
I very surprise that a few buses including 9114 is coming back to JFK depot from retirement. This is because the new flyer xd60 order is completed and jfk doesn't have any more or spare 40 foot standard buses. It looks like the running short on buses. I heard that spring creek depot have some hybrids from basily park depot. long lived the rts.
I heard that most of these 1996 RTS buses will remain in service until 2019-2020 be replaced by 53 articulated buses and 41 standard buses. Note see mta future fleet buses to see that
Ulmer Park actually received #9077-#9110. #9111-#9122 went to MCH
But I personally sent an email to the mta saying that if the Manhattanville depot got rts's and they told me they had none and also if you may which rts's did Manhattanville get back
+Ronny Gomez They were originally Loaners from Grand Avenue, Fresh Pond & East New York over the summer, but the only 4 that are still there are from Grand Avenue Depot, & Manhattanville is supposedly keeping them for a while.
Is it possible you could do the 1999-2000 C40LFs? Sadly these were the first buses I saw come fresh into service and go into retirement. Although...the only thing close to seeing them again is the 1999-2001 C40LFs in Boston MBTA. Heck the two pilots (6000 & 6001) were built to NYC MTA specs!
justanekoboywithglasses-and-bowtie I'm currently in the midst of workin on that one
+justanekoboywithglasses-and-bowtie i do know for sure that pierce transit out of washington state still has a few c40lf's left but not very many. i know for sure pierce transit is one of a very few to use those for 100% certain
+rmx77 oh ok
yep they also had some 1998 c40lf buses but those have been retired. there are some 2002 and 2004 c40lf buses pierce transit still has and are not bad buses at all. i wonder when u can get around to the 1981 rts buses and even mention all the problems new york had with them since u mentioned in the 82 or 83 or 84 video where those buses addressed problems the 1981 buses had
NOTE THAT #8750 and #8751 r 1995 novabus RTSES too
yes
I was just asking cause the other day I was taking the M96 crosstown when I spotted an rts across the street and the number was 9495 which the logo still showed that it was from fresh pond
I saw one of them on the M3 with Manhattanville stickers
@@kalelc1996 RTS 06 should have been sent to eastchester Depot part of MTA bus. They have better maintenance than LaGuardia Depot.
They stopped running in Jersey around 2013 NYC is the only city to have them today🤦♂️it kinda sucks bc I would ride it everyday to school
nah they all retired, all the rts busses are gone
@Steven Darkins dam idek it ran for that long🤷♂️it was Probaly for the more rural and less ridership lines
instead of 9317 it shouldve been all xcelsiors
3 weeks ago I saw 0017
If the M15 wasn't SBS it will be 126 STREET
Lenkekecjmommy From Roblox 126 street depot closed because it was on an african american burial ground and was replaced by the Mother Clara Hale Depoy
That spanish music my family knows those types.
Same here, I also play it on the guitar
Kal-El How about Eastchester depot? Because it’s MTA bus it does better good maintenance job in history of the world.
Ya, pretty much
What are the numbers for those Rts's in Manhattanville
+Ronny Gomez 9389, 9396, 9442, 9574 Mother Clara Hale Depot recently had 9495, But It's now at Quill Depot
+Ronny Gomez WestFarms currently has RTS ranging from 4969 to 5141, Michael J Quill Depot recently got 9357, 9389, 9396, 9574
so all 1996 RTS's all had blackbacks when they were shipped here?
2004OrionVIICNG Technically it ended after the Ex Bee Line Orion Vs came in.
All RTS to be in fact
anyone remember back around I think 96 or 97 where some teenagers hijacked one of theses buses and crashed it into a subway entrance?
When did you see it and lately have you caught a Manhattanville rts
that was 2 months ago, but I recently saw one on the M4 a few days ago
+Kal-El Johnson Cool but sorry for asking all these questions personally I like the Manhattanville depot and how when I was a small kid they had rts's running up and down and also because my brother doesn't believe Manhattanville had rts's. One last question if u were to choose which depot was the best from these two Manhattanville or Michael J Quill which would u pick?
Next can u do a Orion vii 2007 review please.
Comedy Bros When i get to it ;)
+2004OrionVIICNG .Unfortunately I still don't have the delivery list for them yet.
***** Could you please send me the links?
+2004OrionVIICNG UPDATE! somebody gave it to me the other day.
What about the Cummins in 9140-9149?
+Lennox Alexander Francis Jr The Cummins RTSs was just a test they were piloting,but it was proven inefficient.
Inefficient, my (bleep). I loved those.
+Lennox Alexander Francis Jr Yea I feel the same way, I loved those
+VLCC 6v92 is where it's at when it comes to an RTS,Flxible,Classic or Fishbowl
Which Rts's did Manhattanville get back like the numbers
+Ronny Gomez 9389, 9396, 9442, 9574
+Kal-El Johnson i was so mad when i saw the Nova Rts 6 burn like why 😣😣😣😣😣😡😡😡
+Kal-El Johnson I saw funky paint scheme at JFK Depot bus it's a 8000 something
+Q65LTD 651 Oh,Really? what was the number?
I think 8013
No more :(
Was 9317 retired after the fire?
Obviously
Did 9317 have a black/white back
@@DannyLok2812 white
4:27 LaGuardia’s maintenance is still bad up till this day. In fact since they’re maintenance is so bad Next Gens from LaGuardia have to retire themselves
i saw 4911 which is black and white
JORDAN LOVER That's a 1999
Max Steal 4900 is a 1999 unit actually
Max Steal your right 4900 is a 1998 and 1999 unit
RON SIMONS!!
4:55
bruh The NG isn't a piece of shit I know you think that its a piece of shit but I dont think its a piece of shit cause its one of my favorite buses
They slowly brought me within the past few years
8750-9139 & 9150-9348 were later repowered with the 1st generation of the Cummins ISB 02 Engine (BAE System Hybridrive) in summer of 2011-early 2012.
And they are also features the Bus annunciators with 6 fare colors to know which MetroCard you have and they usually light up when you put one of the metrocard and quarters in the fare box. But Unfortunately before that, first They were starting to get repowered by the Cummins ISB 02 Engine, then they took all of those 6 color Bus annunciators down completely, and they are all gone just like the older MTA Bus Queens TMC & GMC RTS buses in one of the private line services and Bee Line too as well.
I'm so glad that they repowered those RTS's with the Cummins ISB 02 Engine, because the Series 50 Engine sounds like the 6V92 & Shit.
Well back when the were powered by the Series 50 Engine they can mostly whine just like the 6V92 Engine, they sounded like the older TMC, GMC RTS's, and the MCI Classics. Sounds like someone is crying, sounds like it's boring, sounds like a fucked vaccum cleaner can be fucked down.
These buses are build alot more base on NYCT Bus with black & rare configuration.
And I won't Forget Some buses were repainted to the black fronts inside and the white backs.
