Orion VII 4 Life Posted September 17, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2012 LOL at the listing saying they have "2F" transmissions. I personally would rather have a MTA RTS, at least they have Detroit Series 50s and Allison trannys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted September 22, 2012 Share #10 Posted September 22, 2012 I wouldn't be surprised if the MTA made a move on those 2001 models. Even though the engine and possibly the transmission are different from normal TA spec, those buses are priced right. With the average MTA general overhaul for an RTS costing about $25,000, add another $20,000 for engine and transmission rebuilds and you have a bus that can run for another 6 or 7 years. I'm sure that if the MTA brought enough buses, the price would drop to about $10,000 per bus. You would have a nice running bus for $55,000...

The transmissions on these buses are the same as the ZF 5000s in Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd like the driver-operated rear doors and soft seats (though they can replace them like they have in the past). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTBusfan Posted September 24, 2012 Share #13 Posted September 24, 2012 I don't think they'd like the driver-operated rear doors and soft seats (though they can replace them like they have in the past). And like it was said above, there should be a 'multi-bus' discount if they bought enough... they would have the extra savings to chang ethe seats!

engineerboy6561 Posted October 16, 2012 Share #17 Posted October 16, 2012 If I weren't a broke college student I'd grab one of those posthaste. Seriously, though, smaller TAs and IBOAs ought to be all over this, especially given Blitz's numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
