How more many years 1996 RTS nova bus to run into service?

1996 RTS nova bus are about 13 years old.

 

There was rumors floating around that all RTSs would be gone by 2012. But I highly doubt that will happen because the TA simply doens't have the money to retire all those buses by 2012. The 96 Novas should be able to last 20 years the GMCs did and the 4600/4700s could have if it wasn't for the EPA forcing the MTA to retire them.
