<R>TS 's and Grumman's

[S78 via Hylan]

I love RTS because of the nice engines, A/C especially the ZF's.

 

I also like the O7 OG/NG because they are quiet even though they have less room, but I like the OG's a little more than the NG's.

 

I also like the New Flyer (Both D60HF and C40LF)

What's your favorite bus model? And of that model, is there a certain unit you like?

 

For me it's 1999 Novabus RTS 5000 Assigned to East New York.

MACK C49DT - best sounding bus engine ever

*

Fishbowl TDH 5303 - best ride, good hum from the engine, virtually a rattle-free bus, even when running in the 1980s

*

RTS 06 - best looking bus & good ride - they still hold up in NYC & here in Boston

*

Current buses - Nova LFSA is hot-looking - so is the New Flyer DE60LFR we have here in Boston - both ride well for LF models

[Joel Up Front]

LI's Orion V CNGs with the Luminator Horizons (1632-1699) though I still like the other V CNGs LI has. The city's CNGs just lack something LI's buses have.

 

Listen at the :22 mark:

1983 GMC-RTS #3160 one of the first buses with the DD50 it ran out of UP. I use to catch it on the B6 going to school at PS114. It was a beast my newer Fav would Be 1996 NOVA-RTS #9095 a rocket back in the days. You can say 1996 Novas are my all time Fav model.
