(NEW YEAR’S SPECIAL) Ex-LACMTA 1989 TMC RTS-06

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Hopefully everyone had an amazing 2021 and let’s see what 2022 will have in store for us transit fans!
Here’s another bus I rode during the bus excursion I went on in November 2021, this time being ex-LACMTA TMC RTS 2376, which was in service from 1989 until its retirement in 2008 and it was also one of several units that would be repainted in the Metro Local livery. It was sold to Cinema Vehicle Series sometime afterwards where it would remain until sometime in 2020 when it was bought by a private owner.
In this video I rode 2376 from Sunset Beach (PCH & Warner) northbound along Pacific Coast Highway until we got to the intersection of Electric & Main in Seal Beach which is also the terminus for OCTA route 42.

Man those buses was the best back in the days

[@dingdongpaddiwack]

Wow, I'm surprised that these buses can still be found in the LACMTA livery, even after they were retired well over a decade ago already.

Nope it won't be it will be preserved in the Metro local paint scheme

[@asstudiosmoviemuseum3315]

Did this bus had shiny polished windows during the yellow jacket livery back then or was the windows always black?
