    I love these buses and i always will. it sucks to see them retire. But these buses were great! I remember riding these buses on the b3 when i used to live near kings plaza. And i rember that these buses had the air starter that sounded wierd, but still sounded great! they will be missed.

    I was just 11 years old when you’re born, most of those Novabus RTS buses has that 80’s retro design same time I love them buses, since it’s now 2024 I hope most of them are not retired yet or probably are due to their age.

    I saw the Fresh Pond Depot Review. Knuckles from The Super Subway Bros told me he thought taking an RTS with the M11E engine to Downtown Brooklyn on the B38 was the jump off. I even had a dream in which I was born in 1996 as well. In my dream, I got to see those buses not that long before the budget cuts in 2010. I bet that's why 9140-9149 are now gone.

    • @kamarwaugh2861
      @kamarwaugh2861 8 лет назад

      I very surprise that a few buses including 9114 is coming back to JFK depot from retirement. This is because the new flyer xd60 order is completed and jfk doesn't have any more or spare 40 foot standard buses. It looks like the running short on buses. I heard that spring creek depot have some hybrids from basily park depot. long lived the rts.

    • @kamarwaugh2861
      @kamarwaugh2861 8 лет назад

  • @justnekoboywglasses
    @justnekoboywglasses 9 лет назад

    Is it possible you could do the 1999-2000 C40LFs? Sadly these were the first buses I saw come fresh into service and go into retirement. Although...the only thing close to seeing them again is the 1999-2001 C40LFs in Boston MBTA. Heck the two pilots (6000 & 6001) were built to NYC MTA specs!

      And they are also features the Bus annunciators with 6 fare colors to know which MetroCard you have and they usually light up when you put one of the metrocard and quarters in the fare box. But Unfortunately before that, first They were starting to get repowered by the Cummins ISB 02 Engine, then they took all of those 6 color Bus annunciators down completely, and they are all gone just like the older MTA Bus Queens TMC & GMC RTS buses in one of the private line services and Bee Line too as well.

      Well back when the were powered by the Series 50 Engine they can mostly whine just like the 6V92 Engine, they sounded like the older TMC, GMC RTS's, and the MCI Classics. Sounds like someone is crying, sounds like it's boring, sounds like a fucked vaccum cleaner can be fucked down.
