  • I purchased a former TAMU transit bus. This video highlights the first year and a half of ownership, and the conversion from transit vehicle to family recreation vehicle.

    Driver for NYCT absolutely love these buses. I drive them until the final one left the garage. We would get in new equipment. I would go grab old faithful. Like what u did with the bus enjoy

    The best-looking designs of American buses since the Flexible Clipper!

    Dang I became a city bus driver too late (April 2019). Guess I'll never get to drive one of these babies.

    These RTS style buses never seem to outdate. The style is timeless in my opinion.

      its gonna age a hell of a lot better than generic 2010s/2020s buses

    I just bought a 2002 Nova Bus. Do you have the program to reprogram the sign?

    what were the gear changes and new speed?

    • @RonKStevens
      @RonKStevens  8 месяцев назад +1

      Changed the rear from 5.13 to 4.10. Top speed went from 62 to 78 at 2100rpm. I do 65 around 1800rpm

    I'm looking at purchasing a 2001 RTS Nova bus. Can you give me any advice on what to look for when checking it out?
    Thank you for your time. 😊

    Great job! However... isnt that gonna be a pain in the ass to service the engine bay from inside with the bunk beds there?

    • @RonKStevens
      @RonKStevens  5 месяцев назад +2

      Not at all. When I had the bunk beds built I specifically made sure that the panel to access the engine bay would be accessible without having to take everything apart. Only one cover needs to be removed..

    Excellent, hoy do you program the toteboard with plenty of messages like On Vacation and Walt Disney World?

    • @RonKStevens
      @RonKStevens  2 года назад +1

      It varies by manufacturer and model of the destination sign. I have a Luminator unit, so I needed to purchase special software from Luminator, as well as get some outdated hardware from eBay. We're talking hardware and software for the system that was designed during the Windows 98/Windows XP era. I think modern systems are now just a USB plugin

      ​@@RonKStevens I can't get a reply from Laminator. What did the software cost?
