On Board: Ex MTA New York City Transit 1999 NovaBUS T8O206 “RTS-06” 5227

[@milestone_achiever4634]

I remember back in '99 talking these on the M98 for the first time...........was my best experience ever on an RTS. Back then Harlem River Drive was so open. Nowadays, after around 135th and Madison, it gets congested immediately 😢

This bring back so many childhood memories! I remember photographing this bus when it was in regular passenger service.

I wish mta didn’t scrap most of what was left. I also loved the horn on these! Thanks for using it. Nice fabric seats too.

[@kalelc1996]

Aww man yes!!!!

[@TransitFans]

I remember when the RTS didn’t have those couching pads for comfort back then. Nice video on those buses.

[@42luke93]

Oh so that was not original? Always thought it was. I liked the fabric in the cold winter mornings.

I caught this same unit on the 2/5 Shuttle back in 2017 or I believe 2018. Unsure of the date.

[@railfannerjs6308]

Are these still in service occasionally or are these just occasionally ran?

Nope, all out of service for a couple of years now. This one is owned by a museum in Lakewood, NJ.
