Here is another old sound clip from a few years back,this one of MTA Bus Company GMC RTS #1118 on the Q35 Rockaway Park-Brooklyn College Line. Bus has a 6V92/Allison Transmission.Enjoy!
Throwback sound!! I remember taking the B41 in Brooklyn bus as a kid. The bus used to make this same exact noise! I used to like how the token machine would shake when the bus hits a bump. LMAO. I really miss the old NYC!
When the MTA buses were at their best. I really miss hearing those 6v92TA's in the GMC RTS and MCI classics. It's awesome especially when they pickup speed on the highway
That motor sounds powerful I remember we move to Harlem from East NY between M1, M2, M3 buses they speed down on Lenox Boulevard and Frederick Douglass Boulevard
This recording brings back too many memories.....i feel like im goin to cry....=*)
It’s was my childhood riding this bus
This thing is hauling ass on the Gil Hodges. Priceless

The take-off on this bus is absolutely beautiful. I love it!
I remember riding the m10 in manhattan and loving this sound.... That is until the Diesel Series 50 came out
me too
Although the series 50 is a great sound in it's own right.
Series 50 it's a powerful engine but in 1992 or less units to be repowered loss power, example NYCTA TMC RTS 1990 units
Other example here in San Juan, AMA repowered 8 1992 TMC RTS to Series 50, but the make powerful like 1994 or above
this is music to my ears
I miss these buses.😔

Music to my ears.

Got anymore recordings of buses with the 6v92 in it
i want them back in staten island on the s66 bus.
@keon123ful:Any recordings I may have had,I lost when I got my new computer last year.I didn't have the capacity to save my sound recordings.
Sound like the GMC RTS with 6v71 of 1981
However it's a 6v92
These were never there to begin with
