NYCTA: 1990-91 TMC T80206 RTS Review

[@cleanairbus]

What a throwback, great sounds! I also recognize quite a few of my photos... like the 8003, 8056, 8184, and 8258 pics...

Kal-el you are a God when it comes to knowing these buses wow

[@Kaufmancab51]

There IS a 6v92ta RTS preserved in NY, just not an MTA bus. It's up in Rush, NY at the Museum of transportation

[@PremierAutoMan86]

More nostalgia I really miss 90s NYC. The coolest buses, redbird subway cars, the culture, just everything!

[@nomyartucker7472]

I like the GMC RTS tmc rts 6v92 engine a lot better than the cng nova bus

[@JuniorBeltre-fm5mr]

17:59 that bus is from (2006) movie 16 Blocks with Bruce Willis.

[@failtalk]

Man i used to love these buses. They were one of fastest buses out there. QV Depot used to haul ass on these buses. My favorite all time bus (in my opinion, besides the 1981 RTS remakes)

[@DANNYN224]

I miss the orion V i remember as a kid while taking that bus the q76 route that engine sounded nice

[@j.r.devine]

Thank you for making this video

[@Ezekiel144k]

@Kal-El: ?uestion, why were different units sent to different depots since they are all nyc buses? Second I loved the Detroit diesel ⛽️ buses even though they would blow that black exhaust lol. I remember those buses could really go! I didn't like the cummins sound at all.

[@AutomotiveTaurus]

The RTS with the 6v92 combination is my top faves.I recall seeing some these in 2007-2009 with only the Series 50. BTW, I am the same guy who drew the cuomo schemed RTS on Flickr. If you're making an Xcelsior review, I am excited to submit my vid for the review you may create in due time to combine in your review for my thoughts on Xcelsiors because I am an Xclesior fan.

[@kalelc1996]

The 6v92 RTS era ended between 2007 & 2010. In due time I'll review the Xcelsiors. Glad you enjoyed the review

[@christianluyando883]

Kal-El only two CNG RTS? I didn’t know two buses get transferred to Command Bus Company Present day Spring Creek Depot. Because I thought there were two buses. Also, RTS is the first CNG than Orion five from 1994-1995, right Kal-El? I didn’t know 8398-8399 were the only two to be transferred to Spring Creek Depot AKA Command Bus Company. I LOVE CNG RTS!!

Both of mine have 6V92 Detroits 😊

8420 was in The Incredible Hulk (2008) and 16 Blocks (2006)

[@kalelc1996]

Yea it was

[@RajaRhodes]

I thought those CNG RTSs with THAT particular boxy CNG fuel tank had Detroit Engines, I’ve seen a video. And the ones with the more streamlined fuel tanks had the L10G engines ?

[@kalelc1996]

They later got 50Gs

[@DannyLok2812]

16:20 why does the series 50 engine require a roof exhaust?

[@kalelc1996]

Emission reduction and EPA regulations though earlier generations of the Series 50 offered both roof and street exhaust

[@ceoofprosciutto235]

I wonder why Casey Stengel only got one unit

[@dodge1515]

Probably because they were slated to become an Orion 5 depot after this. For the rest of the 1990s, they got nothing but new Orion 5s.

[@transitgamerjayjay3704]

Was that one of your audio recording of these TMC RTS or was it somebody else audio recording. can I have the video links for the audio recording because I'm making a bus review of this.
