MTA New York City Bus & MTA Bus Company : The Retired 1996 Nova Bus RTS-06 Fleet (8750-9349)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2019
- This is the first of three to four compilation videos of the Nova Bus RTS-06 fleet.
This fleet of buses lasted roughly about 22 years in service in both Express(buses 9250-9349) & Local service. They entered service at MTA Bus in around 2009-2010, when the first 9300-series buses were sent over to LaGuardia Depot from Ulmer Park Depot to retire the older RTS buses.
The last buses in this fleet ended service at LaGuardia Depot last year.
This video is 1 hour of footage from my 12 years of filming this fleet of buses, in every borough but Staten Island. These buses were powered by a Detroit Diesel Series 50 DDEC engine with an Allison VR-731 transmission. However, there were some differences in the fleet, as 9140-9149 had Cummins M11E engines, and 9048 and a few others had Series 50 EGR engines.
I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Subscribe & stay tuned for more!!

![JUNK THESE BUSES NOW! New York's Grumman Bus Crisis of 1984 [History of Buses]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dIBDe0ZNvjA/mqdefault.jpg)
Yep those Detroit Diesel Series 50, 8.5L w/ the Allison VR731 ATEC were good powerhouses for those buses, I loved them.
@Bread And Circuses Part of the reason was that those buses were in service for a good 20 years with that Engine for MTA prior to be pushed out in favor of Hybrid Electric Buses and more CNG Buses for of course, Environmental reasons. We had Orion V's from the years 2000-2019 for the DC area with Detroit Diesels and those buses outlasted the New Flyer C40LF's and even our Orion VII CNG buses that came on board just 2 to 4 years after the Orion V's were in service.
It was nice seeing these buses as a little kid along with the Orion Vs in queens. How those years have gone by so fast.
Me too
I miss my times with these at Grand Avenue, fresh pond, JFK, and LGA. It wasn’t really the same without these. I’m glad 2 of them are still on existence.
This used to be my fav bus of all time (coz of the sexy 50g it was packin) and I'm hella glad i got a chance to ride one and the modern LFS
I Going To Miss These Nova RTSs It's One My Favorite Buses Of The MTA I Rode On The B61 Since When I Was A Child
I remember riding the B41 bus in Brooklyn when I was a kid and it’s too bad that it’s not coming back.
I remember riding the B13 B15 B65 Q8 B62 B20 B83 Q24 B12 B41 B46 and B14 Q53 B6 local and limited B47
I remember those RTS busses passing on the B41 and B44 and B46 and B45 and the B3 and B6 line in Brooklyn I still miss RTS bus it was part of my childhood 😢 💔 😞
This is my favorite bus. Rip nova bus rts 06
Great & very sad video. Seeing this, I may do the same as a tribute. It's probably enough for a 30 minute long video but these kings will forever live on in memory!
RTS was my favorite. It would been more cool if he was recording and bus honked friendly.
Those Engine's!! Are Something Awesome
Good Time Seeing These Buses In Person & Watching Videos Of Them, I Remember Seeing Those On The Q7 & LGA Depot Routes, Great Compilation
Drove them in Detroit! They were the best in the snow!
Got to admit that these are the greatest if not long time lasted buses in all decades. Compared to the others some of which the other companies that manufacturer buses ended up back in their shops. But GMC RTS has been always ever since when growing up here going to school, and all places surly these buses has their ups and downs mechanically, but they roamed the NYC streets very well. Yes they are very more likely to be missed seeing these loud engine squeaky sound air breaks. It's believed that these buses lasted in service as long as the like old subway cars do from the 30's to the late 70's. Well anyways now that they have been retired now all of them are in the junkyard getting recked up while one or two others you can get to see at the transit museum.
I missed my times with these out of ENY, FB, FP, and UP depot. Especially, my uncle I see operated one 1996 series RTS on the B7(ex.ENY route) in 2009(riding while he's driving) and he made the bus have excellent power until he dropped me off at Snyder Ave. I wish I rode the Cummins M11E units(9140-49), but Fresh Pond routes did not touch my neighborhood. Thanks for this compilation, Shane.
Nice. Bring the B7 back to ENY!
@@nyctenthusiast3507 and B47 back to FB.
Man these Novabus Rapid Transit Series Buses Are retired but I rode one of the RTS’S on the Q5
I loves this buses so much!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💛💛💛💛💛💛💛👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎
I used to take these on the Q24 as a kid. So sad that they are no longer on any routes I take.
Can’t believe the MTA retired these buses 2 years ago it was my favorite bus and was part of my childhood and I’ll forever miss it.
Parabéns pelos lindos vídeos de seu canal no RUclips. Sou um entusiasta dos transportes e gosto muito dos onibus do Brasil, Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e dos países europeus.
I miss the 1995 & 1996 Nova RTSs On The Q53 and Q27
MTA Bus Transit Fanner Me too
Me to I still miss the RTS bus on the B41 and B82 and B6 and the B46 line in Brooklyn it was part of my childhood 💯 😢
@@antoniogoode4407 good times man
Do that bus in the video exits
@@Jacky-qk5hs the RTSs in NYC are officially retired. The RTS’s were originally supposed to be retired by this year but due to Brownsville complaining about the RTSs, all of these RTSs had to be retired by 5/10/2019, and all of them retired on 5/6/2019.
They need to bring those buses back
Millennium had the chance to keep these buses going well into the 2020 decade, but I suspect that the lack of Low Emissions Power Train options especially when it came to competing against New Flyer and Orion during their Bus Orders and Sales success of Diesel Electric Hybrid buses and Hydrogen Powered buses during the existence of the RTS's; pretty much caused that bus to quickly get overshadowed and eventually would not be as appealing or competitive towards the upcoming New Flyer Xcelsior; especially when it came to the lack of a major exterior design update, but overall, the RTS is truly a well recognized legend .
If i could bring 1 bus back it would be the Nova RTS Over the 1999-2000 New Flyer c40lf and the Orion V Diesel i remember taking the B61,Q50 and i also remember when Castleton Had some
The RTS handle those corners very well
I grew up with those buses although they retired but I know the 4900 to 5200s are in Eastchester Dept as we speak right?
Thank You!
I had them in Guelph and Toronto when I was a kid
Love those flxibles too
i think these are the buses with the steps and furry seats lol my childhood
I miss seeing em on the B1 and B49
Don’t forget about the B41 and B44 bus.
@@fernandoifill-ruiz3475 YESSS those were so good on the local B44, B41 Limited and B41 Local with the B46

This is 2014 quality for a video from the 90s
...the videos weren't taken in the 90s.
@@ShaneAkACaitSith810 oh ok I’m sorry.
My Favourite Bus!
And it's gone now 😭
I saw them buses in Los Angeles
rip rts 2018-2019
These have been with us since 1981
Queens was mostly Home of the Legend RTS buses
These aren't so old for me. You got a ton of footage for any person interested.
When they first delivered back in 96 they had Alcoa rims and was delivered in the Bronx
And also they had sounding exhaust system throaty rattling when idling and throttling when new but around mid-2000s MTA decided to cut off the throaty exhaust pipe sounding rattling to reduce costs I think EPA regulations...
Here’s a video sample: ruclips.net/video/GxXZD2ha4SU/видео.html at 6:59
Whats the difference between egr and ddec
Buses 9250-9299 were at Yukon depot for express service
9250-9284 were Yukon express buses, 9285-9349 were Ulmer Park express buses. IF you're looking at that mtanyctransitfanon.fandom.com page, a lot of what's on there is inaccurate.
ShaneAkACaitSith810 I am not at that all I was doing was responding to your statement that these buses ran in every borough except Staten Island and they were there
ShaneAkACaitSith810 correction you stated that you were filming in every borough except Staten Island my mistake to you
What did the MTA do with these buses after they retired them, did they sell them off or scrap them?
Scrapped all but a very small handful.
A partir do minuto 33:30, o que significa o número 234 no parabrisa do onibus 8918 da linha número Q-10 ?? Significa que 234 era o antigo número da linha Q-10 ou significa outra coisa???
Ese es el número de ruta y muestra a dónde va el autobús.
Grand Ave had these one year or 2
Can we buy them
