Gotta love that sound of the 6V92TA

[@thetransitguy5594]

I love the rts! I wasn’t born in time to ride the 1981 and 83 but I remember the TMC! These busses will never be forgotten

[@kalelc1996]

I mean I was born early enough to catch the tail end of the 1981-83s and all the rest of the GMC RTSs

[@thetransitguy5594]

@@kalelc1996 Man, i wish i was able to catch these!

[@dondregreene9566]

Only if there was a video of riding these! Reminds of ours back in Boston!

[@kalelc1996]

[@Daniel_L_Bain]

3583s is now today’s orion 7 old Gen which is soon gonna be retired

[@hakeemspiveyakabusforcejesus]

In fact, it already has been, as has most of the fleet.

[@chriscampbell5538]

Flxible Grumman/MCI Classics had that same sound too

[@kalelc1996]

Grumman 870 yes because it shares the same platform as the RTS but the MCI Classics share the same platform as the Fishbowl and the Flxible new look

[@noahv353]

That’s a cool rts

[@kalelc1996]

One of the originals

[@EvanDowell1213]

I remember one time in a movie about the Trade center, a bunch of Port Authority cops rode this bus to the Twin Towers to get there faster than fighting traffic in the RMP units.

[@kalelc1996]

That was a 1993 TMC RTS

[@jorgefigueroa4437]

The blue and White colores makes me remember the San Juan AMA GMC RTS from 1981 and 1983
