Throwback sound!! I remember taking the B41 bus as a kid. The bus used to make this same exact noise! I used to like how the token machine would shake when the bus hits a bump. LMAO
WOOOOOOW! I've never experience an RTS going beserk like that. Ah, GMCs with the old combo package. I love this stuff man. Keep the oldies coming man because 5 years from now we will hear nothing but silence from our local buses. DAMN, I miss the late mid 80s up into the late 90s. Those were the good old days of bus sounds baby, but from my time that is.
I was up in Boston with my friends from NYC. We went on a Saturday. The only thing the T was running were the New Flyers new Diesel buses all over. I told to my friends, you have to go to Boston during the week to catch the RTS that are still alive.

Mee too, I love the GMC/TMC RTSes from the 80s/late 90s better than those creepy Low Floors.
I miss this sound, boy!!!! I used to have 2 ride the Q113 all the way from Mott Ave. in Far Rock to go to August Martin High back in '01-02. Classic! Good video.
Wow, this is a sick video. I rode my last GMC RTS (5839) back in February, which I recorded yet I just can't remember the experience of being on one of these with the old 92. I miss these times. Classics I remember easily, but these with the V730 are really great too.

Im on my way to Boston too to catch their Sexy RTS buses, most of them have been rehabbed and will be around until about 2013 or near 20 years of their age, they are 1994-1995 Nova RTS model.
I've just recently saw one of these buses running in Forest Hills. And from time to time I still get on one with the outside detailed to match the blue/white MTA design, but the interior is still that of these old buses with the brown/tan/whatever else color scheme.
If anybody can remember when green line was green line? Have you ever been on bus 650, 639, 636, 634, 629, 619, 611, 604-608, 621, 658, 659 and there were a few others. I don't know what mta renumbered them to after the takeover but those buses right there were running right. And in the summer time the ac in these things were awesome.
The best damn RTS' were in GReen Line and Command. Remember that Those two companies were swapping off buses to each other. Those were the best ones. That driver was tearin that shit up!!!! Those are the only buses were you can hit a pot hole and never bottom out. All of ya'll know that!!!! And that bus had turbochargers in it.
This is a really really old GMC coach it makes me cry too as well. I am crying because it is the 6V71-TA with the Allison VS2.60. When was this recorded? everything sounds like 1977 again when hear this. This is very very depressing but very uplifting to me hearing this again. I havent heard this sound since the early 1980s.A+10Stars
Its just cause of the exhaust, although they could just change the engines, but these are like at least 20 years old so I guess they just didnt bother.
to answer enyoriginals questions about the 2 mci classics from cttransit: norwalk has mci classic no 9166 which is 166 and the other 9158 which is in new britain ct
I have a vid of a very old RTS-06 on my channel. It has no rear destination sign and its repainted. Unfortunately its a very different engine than this. If anyone can see it and tell me what company made it (ex: GMC, TMC, Nova) that would be very appreciated. And btw, these audio vids you put up are awesome. Too bad all these are retired.
take that noise and multiply it by ten and you have the sounds of a bus ride after school lets out! That was and still is the worst time to get on a bus.
i cant hear the turbo charger... this one wasnt turbo charged, was it? it must be one of the earlier rts models.....very old.but still moderately desireable
They never had turbochargers. The only model buses that had a 6v92TA to a V730/731 with a turbocharger? Go to NJ and find those 1988-89 Flxible Metro-Bs. They got 'em. Other models to have 'em? Same damn package with turbocharger? There are 2 MCI Classics left in Connecticut! One is Norwalk Transit District's ex-CT Transit 1991 MCI Classic #166 and one of the same year that CT Transit (New Britain Division, formerly from New Haven) has labeled 91xx (forgot the last 2 digits).
They new wack buses are horrible. It's bad enough I have to go to other states to find diesel buses to recorder. I rather have a old bus than this nonsense that NYCTA & MTA Bus has.

Homeboy was messin with it hard. Thats what I'm talkin about!!!! Great recording.
Everyone was certainly happy on the RTS bus.
thanx. that narrowed my bus search down quite a bit.

Damn bus ran like you wouldn't believe!!! LOVE IT!
Man I love the sound this bus. This sounds just like the 6V92 Flxible Metros. Quadruple the 5 stars!!!
Yeah those were the days. I miss them so much.
Screw all the New Flyer and Novabus orders. The Fishbowls and RTS were the real thing.
Calipha Callender Word UP!!
Steve Carras Last good New Flyer was the D40HF, also liked to D900 series.
although the Novabus RTS was good.
Brings back some good times at JBL!
this is a classic LONG LIVE GREEN LINES (expecially on the Q40, Q6 and Q7)
I've just recently saw one of these buses running in Forest Hills. And from time to time I still get on one with the outside detailed to match the blue/white MTA design, but the interior is still that of these old buses with the brown/tan/whatever else color scheme.
They did have some NY-MTA throwbacks...they may still be in service seeing that they still have their 1992 TMC RTS's roaming around.
Well dammit!!! This is how you drive a bus!
Dagg i miss that sound on them RTS, nice rotation they had, we have Gillig's now
That was good times Man
i miss these buses so much.too bad mta bus retired these buses as well as mta nycta
Nice sound - just wish we had video to go with it...

I wish these buses were still in service just for that transmission. Strongest buses ever made (besides the Blitz)
Those New Flyers diesel buses are also around up there too.
gosh I miss the Manchester bus

You wanna go back to the 80s and 90s generation of buses? lol
Sheeit, I do!
They dont pass thru anywhere in NYC anymore. All of these are retired.

Most of the leftover refurbished RTSes from the Mid 90's are used on the South Shore, not in Boston. All you see in Boston is the new CNG buses.
Some don't have sound at all NOW!
What a bunch of bus nuts.
don't forget command!
Yes up in Boston Crystal transport.
The GMC RTS's. What else was that good?
HE'd be Really lucky if he could get one form 1981.

Well IMO the TMCs, Classics, any bus pre the year 2000.
U aint lyin either!!

What model?
I want 9007 of Long Beach Transit
they almost did
man you have no idea what you missed. You think the buses now are good? This will blow a Nova out the water!!!!
Those are different, those are from 1994 and have different specifications
JAMAICA BUSES INC.
Was hoping it would jump into gear and mow the mook down.
They new wack buses are horrible. It's bad enough I have to go to other states to find diesel buses to recorder. I rather have a old bus than this nonsense that NYCTA & MTA Bus has.
