Also let it be remembered that the all logitudinal seating of fishbowls and flxibles ended with the delivery of these and I think the 870s as well with their 2 and 1 transverse seats. The all transverse seating of the late '60s to 1978 helped kill off a lot of ridership. And the air-conditioning on the old buses broke after a few years. With the RTS fleet we started taking working A/C for granted. On the other hand, you had to run it most of the year as the damn windows were (at first sealed). And the original heavy, window tint - meant to ease the burden on A/C-made it IMPOSSIBLE to read the street signs at night.
I grew up riding all of the 6v92 engines on the RTSs and loved them all miss those 6v RTSs❤🥲thanks for sharing the memories brother salute!!!🫡 💯
You're right about 1298-1317. I remember seeing 1299 on the line when I was a kid. My favorite bus.
As a 24 year bus operator in Brooklyn i must compliment you on this video .also i can tell you that those re manufactured 7000s were the bomb!!! Also bus #1261 was re-manufactured and used as a prototype for the last RTS/nova buses with the new turbo exhaust recirculating engines found on the 8900-9000 series. that was a rocket.
+ssaxman Yep!!!! & Thank you very much
I didn't like the nova buses. The rts 6v92 are the BEST! P.s I liked the black smoke exhaust lol
The RTS where one of Bus Models that MTA had gotten there hands on . They Out lasted Most of the replacement Buses such as the Orion 5 And Orion VII Hybrids and some of MCI 4500 Express. From 1981-2019. But for the private Bus lines in Queens NYC and Bee Line Bus They had gotten the RTS 03 I know the ones from the Green Line Bus 1001-1015 and I remeber the ones from Jamaica Bus 1-301-1-3010 witch later on was sent to Green Bus Line and Stineway I think had Bus 1 or 2 or Queens Transit ??? The RTS 03 had V-8s in them . Thats why had that loud Moing Sound !!!!and yes Black smoke also . But as the years went on all of RTS of NYC had came with upgrade and stuff. But I like them all NYTA and Private Lines . And thats a outstanding NYCTA /MaBSTOA 1981 GMC RTS T8W/T8J204 Review Champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆 and Besafe.
Wow Kal El, the first RTS in Puerto Rico from AMA are T7W604 with 6v71 engine and Allison 730, 1980 and 1983 units, for example the 1980 is the RTS -04 prototype with 6v71, in 1980 this unit also available in 8v71 engine option, but less than 30 units. But, remember this New York buses, I love it.
As of 2019, those buses are 38 years old and are about to retire (1999 NovaBus models).
Long love the RTS, man!
I remember Community Transit in Shohomish County in Washington had these, and they used them on trippers to and from Downtown Seattle. And the Scary Movie cutaway... hilarious! 😂😂😂
I LOVE RTS!! Kal-El all Nova bus RTS are awesome!
1298-1317 were assigned to Castleton depot in Staten Island used on express route X10.
Happy birthday to you mr Johnson🎈🎊
Yukon Depot has the X1 express buses that looks like the one being shown but they have express bus seats & I remember those back in 1994 if I'm not mistaken running on 5th Avenue in Manhattan.
I wish I lived in the 80s so that I can enjoy these buses everyday
Thank god I was born in 1996 and have a really good memorie cause I remember riding these as well as the 1982-99 RTSs
Even though I didn't ride the gmc's & 87-91 tmc RTS 's I still feel like I lived with them
1201, MTA's first ever RTS, is proudly preserved by and still owned by the MTA.
+Kevin Meno yes it sure is!!!! & a heard a few other 1981 GMC RTSs are still in existance but kept under wraps.
+2004OrionVIICNG Besides that one I do know that PA1575 is still in existance, but I just don't remember where it currently is or who currently owns it. & I heard from several fellow transit collegues that a few other 2200s and other 1981 units are known to still exist somewhere.
The 1st buses that feature the white/blue livery. The livery is still in use today, only now it has the modern day MTA logo introduced 1995-1996
PA1636-PA1648 eventually made their way to Castleton Depot.
One of the remans unit #7004 was repowered with a DDS50 Engine upon rebuild I believe.
It had to been, because all series 50 equipped buses AFAIK featured roof exhaust.
+2004OrionVIICNG it was roof exhaust
+Gerald Thomas except for the 1994-96 Orion Vs
OMG I LOVE THE GMC RTS!!
+James Kirk Yep!!! Nothin like the original!!
DA RTS BEGAN MTAS BIGGEST BEST DAYS!
+James Kirk Yep!!!!
+2004OrionVIICNG I love them all
Nice review man. I love your videos 😄✊🏾
What software do you use to make these?
FinalCut Pro
You need to do a video on the Fishbowls and Flexibles.
I miss the fishbowls
like bus
Like bus
I miss this kind of busses on the m15 south ferry and city hall .
Same and on the M116
Everybody ran RTS is our Drummonds and maybe Orion’s but definitely aren’t yeses and Germans those were the main buses for New York City Chicago Detroit
It depending on independent and dependent on the garage in the drive-through drawer because a large I was kaput to move them in the pencil who drove him if you are is your Depo Flatbush hell even listen you knew how to
Hybrid engine low floors Yeccccccch!!!!! I'll take rts
ill bought the toy rts bus with black back arcolo rim
Most of the 22 2324 2500 archdiocese does the most to the Bronx and a half that’s it any later years you may have seen one in Brooklyn queen but mostly
Most of the RTS that came out in 1981 and I just came out in 1982 they were built a little more tougher farmer most the work was pretty good in the snow from King not have a good day
All you had to do with the 81s at 83 archdiocese will just add a turbo they’ll be fine just like the artists who came out in the late 80s have turbos
I'm gonna take a guess and say that most of these 2000 Series RTS BUSES went to the following: Gun Hill, 100 Street (Tuskegee Airmen) DEPOT, 126 Street Depot and Hudson Pier Depot. I even read online that the ones that weren't rebuilt went to Long Island Bus until retirement by 2000. Plus, online, it said 7038-7049 had coach seats for Express Service out of the Ulmer Park Depot. Is all that true?
Only 9 1981 rts buses were sent to long island bus and then were pull out of service in 2000.
True
Part of it is true
Daniel Samuels that's true.7038-7049 went to Quill for express. Ulmer Park had 7511-7534
What about the fixible Grumman 870 buses you forgot about those
Beroy King I was thinking about doing them but I can't find the delivery list for them
When it came to the drama's it depends on on on who had them Jersey got the jumper in New York that had it for years and they ran New York was just cheap New York did not want to pay for the work that's why this is this is Jersey for years
They could have still kept these buses around
I agree
@@kalelc1996 right cuz there was nothing wrong with them
GMC RTS #1291 and #2504 r mertocard buses
They've sadly been retired and since been sold for scrap, & no longer exists.
+2004OrionVIICNG yep
All these depot
