Is that a second Colton wig wag?

Sand blast all that graffiti the Olympics are coming to LA, don't want the world to think how scummy LA is!

Who is here from all american

Hello, for your information d flexibles were not running anywhere in LA. I know i lived in LA and was born in LA. They appeared later, and had d best air condition of any buses of the 60s and70s 😂 i rode these buses to school every school day

The graffiti just shows to what depths L.A. was destroyed by savage 3rd-worlder phil. The

Awesome bus the one and only original since 1993 when it still RTD era👏👍👍.

Awesome video! Many hours on the 456 to LA from Long Beach in the 80s....😎👍

Wow ......Back in the day when someone would ask us how we were getting to our destination we would say by Rough, Tough and Dirty when we took these, RTD buses, oh the memories ❤

My childhood

My Grandfather told Me he helped Build Santa Fe Dam in Irwindale and they buried alot of those Rail Cars there.

Does anybody remember RTS #9110? It was the ONLY one in the first batch with sliding windows, every other window.

I figure that 5865 at 1:57 must have been a demonstrator. AFAIK, RTD/MTA never ran slantback RTS's. Long Beach Transit did late 70's, but when RTD got them in 81, they were all square.... I did some research.. RTD was looking into a new color scheme, and they test printed the 3 stripe on 3 different buses. One was an OCTD Grumman 870, one was a fleet New Look, and the 3rd was a slantback RTS from Montebello Bus lines. All 3 buses were fake numbered 5865.

Threw up on one of those buses as a kid. Classic 80s LA!

I would love to see a retro model of the aero designed RTD buses come back for modern day versions

This is what destroyed the PE.

Looks like GM New Look's plainer looking brother. Still enthused with them.

RTD... Rough, Tough and Dangerous!!

Them buses were awesome back then in the 70s and 80s. We had the ones with the back doors that were four vertical doors that opened in a folded position o n both sides

I think 194 is crazy El Monte to calpoly c'mon used to go POMONA to Los Angeles Baby

Hey Foothill transit bring back line 484

I miss RTD 484

We didn't recognize a good system when we saw it 😢

Sad😢we will never see this again

My dad is probably in one of those buses

Mostly the flexible Metro 2400

He drove RTS

My Dad Ernest Pasini Ernie was divion 9 El Monte station RTD and MTA badge 598 1974-1995 21 years he drove 484 Pomona Los Angeles via Valley Blvd and Holt Ave

Man these buses bring back so many memories

Those were neat busses, I loved the design.

Sucks that there is no more of this type of bus 😢

Does anyone if this still here? I want to shoot a video of it?

Used to love this spot as a kid. Stupid but good times around there 🤣

I love those buses

My childhood relived

That was great. When I was a kid in the 1970s I yous to ride them they were cool.

I really wish I had one.

They were really great busus. I miss them.

I saw that kind of bus on route 94 or 394 in Burbank California

Great video buddy!!!

The Ruff, Tuff and Dangerous

precious & thrilling 🍿🍿🍸

Does anyone know the two route numbers that would originate at Union Station and stop at Lankershim and Burbank in 1980? Were the buses on both routes full length or one of the shorter ones shown? Would also appreciate if anyone knows what the color schemes were. I wonder if the routes exist today.

Our homeboy “Midst”piece R.T.N, G.A.W@ 6:51 and “Guilt” R.T.N, i2W Olmec @ 6:14

My homeboy did the Olmec . We painted there back in the days R.T.N, S.T.G ! R.I.P Belmont Tunnnel. I think if they started to save the Belmont n preserve it back in 99 when we did the” A Day in the West” paint out and also All the West coast rappers came n took a pic in front of station “Tupac” portrait on one side “Easy E” on other that’s now in the Smithsonian Inst. it probably would’ve been possible.

4:00 - Wow, looking at Division 2 to DTLA looks so weird without all the other buildings nearby or in front.

I didn’t know that the 120 would go all the way to the Brea Mall. Wow! Also I recall the buses at 2:21, 6:37, the 2929 one and the smaller twinkie bus ones growing up late 90s-mid 2000s. Good memories with a lot of character on those buses. Definitely LA.

Damn good bus. Mechanics said they had electrical problems

Very rare to see the hubodometer on left axle

Especially the ones with Cummins 903 engines in them-sounded completely different (when they ran).

I am old enough that I once was able to ride the train through the tunnel from the tunnel opening to downtown Los Angeles. I was absolutely fascinated that the train ran underground and ended up under a large building. It is a fond memory. I am so sad to see that the remnants are now tucked away in an expensive apartment complex that the folks in the neighborhood can't afford to live in. I wonder what archeologists a few hundred years from now will make of this.
