MTA 1978 General Motors RTS-II

[@kalelc1996]

So good to see this rare gem still alive and running

[@baul104]

Glad that they still have the 8V71N-powered RTS bus! It should NEVER be sold for scrap---EVER!

That air starter sounded like an old school Fire Truck Siren!

[@javierjavier7291]

God I love that sound

Classic RTS-II series slant back with the retrofit a/c square back.

[@bryancooper2699]

Aww these Buses take me back to my childhood/ young Adult hood when I use to South Jamaica Queens .During the Queens private Bus lines Green Bus Line And Queens Transit Jamaica Bus line .

[@clsumjr]

What a class this is. I hope they fix this bus up, clean it real good, rehab and paint it, it's original MTA color

[@hnlthehorrorpurgebus106]

Actually we have a bus that’s living in Hawaii still. It’s the 1997 phantom gilligs which is about 24 years old. But I am impressed that there are 40 or higher buses that still live in the Mainland.

I know someone down OCMD saved one of its Sisters fron the chipper as well. They had to have.

[@kl3ztyplays642]

Dude I agree. She's one hell of a beast. I'm crying with joy and excitement right now!

[@w210black]

Gm rts the only bus that comes as a sport back

[@c.i.m.1600]

Howdy, thanks for sharing. One of my favorite buses. Did the series after the slant back have a T-Drive setup, or did they stay with V-Drive? Much appreciated 👍 liked and subscribed

[@lesliemiros6743]

Yes they had a sloped back from 1977-1980 after 1980 they made rear end more upright to house a larger ac unit in the rear above the motor and some even had rear windows like the ones in Chicago had in 1991.

[@42luke93]

Only the RTS Ledgend from Millennium Transit Services had T-Drive. Less than 30 were ever made so they are rare. A College still operates them since bought new in 2007.

[@KevinMeno2008]

Slooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww air start. At least it works!

[@369Bandido]

Wow! No exhaust leaks, no knocks, it sounds just like it did in the 2009 Rodeo Video!

[@Jaec321]

Show ur face its been 11 years

[@MrGentlefriend]

It shouldn’t go to scrap. I wonder how much they would sell it for?

[@landovercity8659]
