So good to see this rare gem still alive and running

God I love that sound

[@busrailfan]

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

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 .

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

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

Great video my friend love this buses grew up with them. Lots of memories thanks

[@bryancooper2699]

Great video George. It really needs to be restored.

[@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

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!

Gm rts the only bus that comes as a sport back

[@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.

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.

Show ur face its been 11 years

[@369Bandido]

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

[@KevinMeno2008]

Slooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww air start. At least it works!

[@MrGentlefriend]

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

[@landovercity8659]
