Grand Concourse Posted September 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 23, 2009 Very interesting. I never knew they had hybrid RTS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted September 23, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 23, 2009 I remember seeing pics of those and I actually have the 3rd one on my PSP...here's a thought, why not retrofit the newer Nova buses into hybrids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted September 23, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2009 Probably too expensive to convert them. Plus the MTA's getting lots of hybrids anyway. It's not like LA where there's like a 'ban' on anything diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous85 Posted September 23, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 23, 2009 Those look nice, I really like the roof. The last RTS looks extra long. Didn't the have regular RTSs from 2000? In the Summer of 2000 I remember seeing a brand new-looking JAM RTS rolling up to the bus stop with shiny rims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted September 23, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 23, 2009 Those look nice, I really like the roof. The last RTS looks extra long. Didn't the have regular RTSs from 2000? In the Summer of 2000 I remember seeing a brand new-looking JAM RTS rolling up to the bus stop with shiny rims. The last time the MTA bought RTSs was 1999 (4900-5249). I wonder what the MTA or Novabus changed in those 99 RTS as most of them are not as fast or smooth riding as 8750-9699. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember on the M10 when it ran these special RTSs with LED display which had the time and destination similar to Bee-Line O-Vs.. Dunno if these were the ones i was on..

Far Rock Depot Posted September 26, 2009 Share #15 Posted September 26, 2009 ive had the chance to ride one back in 2000 while i was a court runner for a law firm in midtown. it was running on Lex ave southbound and i rode it from 50th st to 23rd. it was slow accelerating but rather smooth. The rear roof emergency hatch was located further front than regular RTS buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
