This is ex SCRTD / LACMTA 9034. These buses were retired between 1998-2001
The 1981 GMC RTSs were indeed my favorite buses running the streets of L.A. SCRTD Ordered about 940 of these turkeys. Although some units are retired, a few of them were saved by private companies.
Powertrain = DD 6V92 engine and Allison V730 transmission

Got dam, the sound alone brings back instant memories!!
If you stop too fast,the engine sounds like its gonna stall..lol,I remember stopping hard just to make it do that,the 4400's were a blast to drive.
Sorry for hiding this one ... lol. Actually I had this one on my fileden page. Luckily I uploaded there. The other good stuff I had crashed on my old computer. Since then, I learned a valuable lesson. Save your work.
Its a bird , its a plane , No! O shit its a Twinkie!!!
I approve of this recording. I wish the DD50 engines sounded like that.
the Jamie Foxx show bus
I miss them too....ESPECIALLY the 1987 TMCs
i miss all the damn RTS...these held a special place in my heart along with the 83/84 neoplans...very well built pieces of machinery....and ea lemme know when you and the guys head up to the IE for some fanning...ill actually be able to go lol
I know right. I missed those type of buses.
These buses were alright, I still like those neoplans AN440-A Series.
i miss that sound so much woooop wooooop
I used to live in New Jersey before I moved to Long Island in the early 2000's, I remember the engine sounds of the buses very well, the NJ transit had 100's of these, LI has none. I miss these for real. Reminds me of when I was a kid.
MY GOD!!! Man why have you been hiding this clips from us!!!!! This bus runs like our 7500 series RTS!! Sounds beautiful!

FANTASIC recoding amigo!!!!A+90000000000000Star!
youre right. from what I also remember, some of the 8900-9100s were split between Division 3 and 7
Oh wow! These totally remind me of the 1982 GM New Looks that BC Transit / Translink ran in Vancouver (15 of them) which were powered by the Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and the Allison V730 transmission. They were also equipped with Telma 4 stage retarders of whcih I found quite smooth.
They sure do.I miss the 7500 series RTS that ran here in New York as well as the rest of the 1981-86 GMCs and 1987 TMCs
Holy Shit!
This brings back memories. I love how SCRTD GMC RTS buses sound on the inside and outside, this is nostalgic shit for real. Thank you ea90744.
I rode these busses everyday to school. I can still remember the sound and smell of them when they were brand new
bring back old memories on la rtd aka metro bus
delvin
delvintumbling84 I loved these GMC RTS buses so much as a kid. Part of the reason why I even liked going out the house on various trips around Los Angeles with my mom, was so I could see GMC RTS buses and hear them pull away.
I remember this bus back on the 254 route, only in a different color scheme.
Exactly, with yellow logos on it.
lol u can hear all the seats banging in the background
Reminds me of how Cobb Community Transit TMC buses used to sound before all 19 of them retired in 2008
I got to drive to RTS buses that we had at the metro contract for Veolia transportation in 09/10
Route 115,117,120 ,108,110,204,207,38,37,210,212
MCTS had 5 GMC RTS buses with the same engine numbers 3220-3224
@lilthuging100 - i'll see what I can dig up. I doubt it i have any of the older Neoplans but will take a look
Ahhh yes, that good ole shopping cart noise of the old RTD buses. I will never forget that sound. I remember riding on one of these buses, going about 50 mph on a 35 mph road, felt like 100 mph LOL!!😂😂😂😂
i wondered it would sound like if it was on the Q35 in NYC!
Good Job Brad!
You post videos that have the same audio and its annoying
LOL....I would think you learned that by now!! LOL
SCRTD-LACMTA 1973-1996
WMATA METRO IN WASHINGTON D.C. NEED TO RESURRECT ALL GMC RTS METROBUSES AND BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE
General motors need to get back to the bus business along with flxible.
PS. Do you have the vid of any AN440-A series? at least a clip of its engines?
those gmcrts buses I ride those septabuses in the 90s they were built between 1977 and 87 we have the 1995to2006 nova rts buses and most njtransit drivers like them more than the nabi41615, s and the grummanflxible 870 adb buses I've rode them when they were around from 1999 to 2013 I've rode them on short medium and long runs 1266 was on the 553 line from upper deer field to Atlantic City and the nabi 4161505s send them novas to retire from the service of njtransit novabus are still from the rts family tree gmcrts from the late 70s to the 80s tmc rts buses from 1988 to 94 and the nova buses from 1995to2006 rts buses are very good but I've like the sloping back buses more and the 6v 71 and 92 powered Detroit diesels what turns me on Cummins diesel and caterpillar diesel engines are good for the environment but boring nova low floor buses are the future buses but they will not turn me on at all the older the better
@lilthuging100 - those 3300 Neoplans MTA had sounded great ...especially with the allison HT transmissions
I still remember those Neoplan buses the 3300 and a 3400 series back in the mid 90s I used to ride those buses to school back in my Junior high and high school days when they were still the 420 route and 180 route they're cool buses and fun to ride on.
The only Neoplan buses I didn't like was the 1100 series it didn't had no rear door and it was a safety hazard too the back seats were too up and the rail pols was too close above my head it could resolve a head injuries I'm glad it got retired in 2000.
a little pedal-tapping.

Rough Tough and Dirty
Also called Rough, Tough & Dangerous in South Central (courtesy of Ice Cube)
@@hoodmistressreloaded True. But we were calling it dirty long before NWA ever came out. One of my homies did a rap song on it back when it was .85 cents to ride the bus. Rough, Tough and Dirty/Rrrrrrr Teeeee D
@@EH-od5eq I was only a youngin' during those days, so I never really paid attention to the earlier nicknames. I called it "Rough, Tough & Dangerous" mainly because my momma used to play the hell outta Ice Cube's Death Certificate album on tape during the early 90s, referring to the little skit that came on after Steady Mobbin'
