My favorite was Command, mostly for their comfortable RTS CNG suburbans. New York Bus Service also had an excellent maintenance record and was able to keep the fishbowls in service until the very end.

 

I also liked Triboro for the sole fact that no single bus seemed to have one complete paint scheme. They used to mix and match panels from buses with different versions of their livery (the old one was just a simple red stripe, the new scheme had the "lightning bolt" red and silver) and sometimes, they would leave panels unpainted with gray primer showing.

 

Green Bus Lines was by far the worst, maintenance-wise. They also had one of the oldest fleets of buses, a good portion of which consisted of 1985-1986 GMC RTSs that were way past their prime.

 

Before takeover Green Lines had also some 1979 GMC RTS's.

Green Lines was my main favorite. Before I moved their (Q9) was my home bus. I know their buses were weak but they did bring good memories to my transit part of my life. My second favorite was Jamaica. I occasionally rode their (Q112) (as an alternative) to destinations I needed to go. I also remember once taking the (Q110) with my grandpa. Such memories.:P

Sad part is those buses look better than most of Green Lines or Triboro's buses did.......

the 7200's (ex-triboro buses) still sound and ride great years after triboro is gone
