I think NYC had the only modified RTS buses (8000-8599) with the higher idle and V8 sounding 6V92 engines above 30 mph. I think they were probably modified by the bus mechanics in the depots. I truly believe no other RTS buses in the other states had a setup like NYC. I remember taking the Bx12 Limited to Pelham Bay Park after school. Best ride of your life on a bus. Then I would catch the Bx14. We don't have that route anymore. It's now the Bx4A.
@@milestone_achiever4634 I live in the Jamaica Area and I mostly took the black back RTS-06's the scream of that engine when its taking off was the best.
I think nyc should leave some of the 1999 RTSs in service, just to keep the tradition alive still. I think NJT may still have a small number of their RTSs left.........I hope
That im not too sure of, this unit was used for movies and tv shows and such, so it could have been modified by an agency like that. I dont know enough about RTD and LACMTA to tell you all the information about that however
How do you maintain a bus like this? Like where would you go to get oil changed, tire changed, suspension, engine work, etc. If I had the money I'd love to own one but where would I have it worked on? I can't do it myself
That engine of that 88 RTD is very beast mode
That's a heck of a good sounding engine!
I miss hearing th3se
@@BusTVChan I'm sorry to hear that.
The best rts engine!
Damn I started working at the Navy Yard in 2018, this whole lot was gone by then.
The bus company here in Portland Oregon. Tri met. Had the 1982 rts. But we're gone after the summer of 2000. They were junk. No air. And wrong moter.
I wish I had one. It would be a lot of fun to drive one as well.
Me too.. I think everyone should have there own RTS 😄
Aw, yeaaaahhh!!! That good ol' RTS with the 6V92! DAMN, I miss riding on them!
THESE UNITS ARE THE GREAT

They don’t make motors like the 6v92 anymore. Pure power and sound!! (And smoke)
go fucking detroit....
omg i want a bus that thing is sweet!
Beware bus ownership is mad expensive, unless you get lucky.. haha
Well don't try breaking that thing. One of a kind!
Haha if it aint broken yet, its not going to break anytime soon, i presume
MjofLakeland1 Yeah, really.
Makes me want to try that in my 82 crown...
North america has the coolest buses, no doubt about that
That turn at 1:30 tho 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
LMAO IKR
Try to record a video of a fast idle/rev up session of this 🚌.... even though I would love to hear a DDS50 🙃
OKay if i see this unit again i will ask justin
Jireh Martin if you look there is a video of this bus revving. At the time the fast idle did not work. Now it does.

When did they install the push tape feature, cause when the RTD first ordered these, they had pull cord stop request signals

Its been around since the late 1970s. They got rid of them in the mid 1990s.
Wassup Buddy?

V730 or V731? It almost sounds like a V731.
sonicboy678 this is an Allison V-731
Wow
That's a nice bus right there, RTS are the best buses in the world compared to europe's, They are weatherproof
Wow the windows
