NYCTA: 1996 GMC RTS Remanufactured

[@MtaBus5102]

Damn, he musta had one expensive ass recorder to get such a clear recording of a bus this old back then.

[@justinsylvestre1065]

I remember these when they first arrived in Brooklyn they fast as hell I wonder they took out of service because they good

[@dodge1515]

Because they were retiring. Replaced by the O7s.

[@Jean0987654321]

You are the man. I remember these RTSs as a kid. Jesus, do I miss them...

[@nyctenthusiast3507]

I love this sound

[@johnv339]

Indeed, sounds very "healthy".

[@missSandz25]

I saw this RTS bus once in downtown Manhattan before 9/11, and I haven't seen it since then, but she sounded brand new.

[@ricbonillasjr2567]

Oh... I miss these RTS buses, I grew up in Tucson, AZ. The city used to have many of these and I remember this sound and it was good flash back memories

[@fil1329]

Yea only a 2 stroke detroit diesel has that sound and speed

[@drewski1535]

I miss riding these buses best memories when going to Manhattan with my father

[@johnv339]

This coach is going on my ebay wish list.

[@lesliemiros6743]

They sound like the ones in Houston (METRO) once had.

[@RailzNY]

thanks for the flashback

[@nickrod9526]

The first picture is downtown Brooklyn (old picture, I can tell from the signal lights) and the second one is on at the corner of Flatbush Ave and Glenwood Av!! The bus came back from Kings Plaza. AHHHHHH THE MEMORIES!!! I never took the B6. Always rode the B41! I miss these buses, especially when they hit numerous bumps. LMAO

[@sonicboy678]

I used to go to a day care center at East 35 Street and Flatbush Avenue. These buses were amazing in how they looked and sounded. I even rode them a couple of times or so. I wasn't really fond of the 4xxx ones or the buses that Green Bus Lines ran on the Q35.
I miss these buses. I'll also miss the V731 Nova ones once they retire, though I won't miss the ZF Ecomat ones.

[@DAVEDKIIINGMUSIC]

sounds clean and powerful!

[@isakjohansson7134]

Such dope buses

[@sonicboy678]

I liked these over the 4xxx ones. I still do.

[@Eureeka1989]

The remanufactured Rtses sounded pretty good.

[@kalelc1996]

And looked good too

[@Eureeka1989]

Yep. Probably the best RTS ever made.

[@kalelc1996]

This was the coolest and boldest thing MTA ever did

[@Eureeka1989]

I agree with you.

[@kalelc1996]

+RSMG106 Music Channel Yea and we're the only TA to do something like that so when non NYC transit fans ask 1996 GMC RTSs? I show them

[@raysmithpt25]

Would've been nice to see RTS's make it into 2020!

[@kalelc1996]

Unfortunately they made their last trips last year

[@kalelc1996]

Kingsbridge, Queens Village, Quill, Manhattanville, Yukon, Castleton and 126st had them too

[@sonicboy678]

Flatbush definitely had them. I rode these buses when I was in elementary school.

[@HappyFaceLee]
