@@MEVA1104 Yeah I saw the answer below comments. Thanks. Again, Nice Video, I downloaded this video to my tablet to watch it when I be depressed all the time, You made my day.
I agree with that comment man these were my favorite buses sadly the piece of shit hybrids replaced these buses these were the real buses loved the take off sounds
@@knightclassic1 2 main reasons, first in general all RTSs were built to last and second a lot of the ones in Boston went through a mid-life overhaul at Midwest Bus which added at least another 10 - 15 years of life.
So my question is would it b able 2 run on the route 77 if alewife or Davis square or porter square were all being Renovated? My guess is it probably could run that route but only 4 emergency’s only like transit center said! Just wondering if it will ever happen again!
Omg its rts #0309 man i miss this bus so much.How were you able to ride this bus again its so good to see this beauty again.this bus sounds like it still can go out for regula service she takes off wonderfully and sounds like its brand new.See these are the real buses i love these things wayy more than the junk hybrids thats just me.you got a thumbs up from me in this video for sure holmes👍👍
@@knightclassic1 and that’s why the mbta buying more of them has got to be the most pathetic decision ever any other transit agency doing this too should be ashamed of themselves buses break down all the time it’s expected but I noticed when the rts buses were around those things didn’t break down as often heck even the neoplans were more dependable then the hybrids

They Surely Will Not Be Outdated. I remember these back in my Elementary, Middle and High School Days
They sound sooo good nothing like a Rts
Agreed these bad boys Ran the Roads
No bus will ever come close to an Rts

Facts Tanks For Sure
This bus is running on the Merrimack Valley
Boris Anderson MBTA
I rode this gem 0309 on the 24
October 16 1999?! WHAT?!
Date fixed itself later in the video
Wait the system launched in 1994?
Transit center technically this really should say on the title should’ve said Retired MBTA RTS BUS 0309!
But everyone knows it’s retired
Too bad those aren’t in service anymore
ITS IN service for emergency shuttles
They kept these 1995s ran way longer than all other agencies that had 1995s
