Man I miss riding these buses & #9093 was the last bus on LGA depot when it retires

[@SolHersh]

My childhood bedroom was on the bustop on ave m and east 9th.. literally had people waiting for the bus a few feet from my bed and I went to sleep to the whine of the RTS for years

That's out of ENY Depot. ENY never had 1997-98s in 9000 series. But they had 1996 series in that number range.

Nice Review,
I remember I saw these RTS has on the B46 limited and local and the B47 these RTS is were amazing when I was a kid I used to enjoy riding these diesel buses because when I used to ride these RTSs it reminds me of riding an Orion VII OG CNGs but I did not ride at the Orion VII OG CNG.
And also one thing I remember I was riding on this RTS with the orange LED displays indyne used to be one of my most favorite RTS with the orange LED display I think it was based out of Grand Avenue or Flatbush Depot and I riding on it on the B47 And B46 Local And Limited

Great Review Cedric, I Remember Seeing & Riding Those RTS’s When The 1997-1998 RTS’s Was At Yukon Depot, I Have Good Rides With Those RTS’s When I Was On The S61, Whenever I Was Heading To The Mall Or Home From That Bus Route, So Much Memories, I Miss Them

Here's the ACTUAL depot assignments for the 1997-98 Novabus T80206 RTSs:
9350-9381 to QV Depot
9382-9444 to FB Depot
9445-9486 to GH Depot
9487-9534 to Hudson Pier Depot (Closed in 2003)
9535-9568 to JA Depot
9569-9604 to FP Depot
9605-9649 to West Side Depot present-day MJQ Depot
9650-9699 to KB Depot
Sadly, 9656 went up in flames shortly after being delivered, and was subsequently retired. But the 1999 orders would inflation 9656, But unfortunately the operation was totaled in an accident in 2008. 9464 was apparently involved in the collision involving ladder 103, Resulting in 9464 being scrapped.
I would like to give credit to Kal-El for this information.

So Staten Island Had a Few RTS Buses

#9598 Mta bus

[@knightclassic1]

1996 and 1999 RTS orders were better Coaches than these orders. Yes This P Diddy Song matches these orders.
