I dont know about RTS, but I know there are alot of whining ones.
Only one RTS I heard and sort of remember, I think #8897 was screeching...And there was one more from Jamaica but it was so long ago so I didn't pay attention to the bus ID.

I'll add what i can. Maybe post another list for (NJT) stuff. :)

 

- A

We wouldn't get many watching out for them for NJT, sadly. :D

It'll probably only be me adding to the list mostly, and I have a hard time remembering things like that cause I don't pay much attention anyway unless theres something important on the bus. :(

504 and 555 are Kingsbridge, not Stengel.

 

439, 442, 448, 450, 457, 468, 472, 491, 556, 563, 565, 567, 662, 664, 5289 (all Kingsbridge)

 

I like the idea of a list like this, but the thing with screeching is that it could go away easily. In some buses screeching may only be on and off so one time you ride a bus and you hear it, but the next time you ride the sound isn't there anymore. 562 was like this. Mysteriously the problem was fixed right after DOB2RTO had that bus taken out of service for something else (when he was still a bus operator) because the next time I rode it it didn't screech at all.
