These were the Redbirds of busses

There too much overcrowding in certain areas.

I Remember taking Those RTS during my High School Years

8567 Had that top Did the Brooklyn Routes had them

5249 looks like they put new rims and tires on this one

So 5249 The Mta Kept this one

I miss The Rts 5100s to 5200 I Remember had the cloth seats

So After that Incident In 1980 and 1984 Mta Took off alot of those Buses and back then they were Using the RTS and the GM Fishbowl Models Back then

Oh Damn So the Edgewater Depot Was shutdown Because Serval GM Fishbowls Buses Collapse and sink in the water Thats Crazy

I didn't know Mta Has These I Remember The RTS

You forgot to mention fleet number 8620 which was used in the movie Badge 373 which starred Robert Duvall,Eddie Egan,Verna Bloom and Henry Darrow

Ohhh my goodness! I miss these busses! In the winter, the rear bus seats were close to a heater and they were as close as we could get to actual heated seats! Also these buses just had that good sounding engine rumble when it picked up speed. I fucking miss it all so much....😭

These models was just fine like wtf????? The speed and service was very reliable!

These buses were quick

Express buses i used to ride x27 and x28!

Thnk it wasl the Orion V was #618..a X10 assigned to Castleton depot

Too bad these buses retired early

16:20 why does the series 50 engine require a roof exhaust?

I feel that the last years of revenue service for these buses, the legroom got tighter, which is obviously very uncomfortable.

I still miss those RTS Novabus on the B41 and B44 line in Brooklyn

I miss those taxis 😂❤

I remember riding these RTS on the Q32 from Penn Station up to 52nd street and Roosevelt Avenue by the 7 train in Woodside. Also remember them on the Q29 going to high school by Queens Center Mall.

I remember taking a ride on an RTS along the M42 around 2014. The RTS will forever be my favorite bus in NYC!

Damn that driver really did hauled ass

This video is mad nostalgic

I remember comi g down I 78 east one night & pulled up on one of these bad ass buses owned by n.j transit coming from phili & even at 80 m.p.h couldnt pass it . I never knew those buses could haul ass like that . Last of the good looking transit buses .

Nice

Awesome!

Memories of riding the B55 as a kid

GMC/TMC AND NovaBus

Thanks for uploading! These used to be all over LA and OC! We still have one in our historical fleet here at Metro!

I miss these RTS buses so much! And they felt more roomier than those electric buses they are using today.

Those models should had been rebuilt with everything and running on c.n.g. with a prevost engine

I'll never forget being on that bus and the driver was definitely letting us know the bus ain't no slouch that bus and the hot bus will forever be my favorites

Add a new subway line to Lagardia Airport.

i was born in 96 but i remember growing up when i would come to nyc i would see these buses and always wanted to ride one and back in 03-04 i got to ride will never forget these legends

Back when riding transit in NYC was fun. Now its mid and dull and boring and everyone's in a bad mood. I'd rlly like to go back to the 90s and early 00s to ride these....

In all my time of driving buses ive never heard of an air starter

Upgrade the engine every few years and a few maintenance work the buses would been fine!

Poor maintenance work smh 😮😮😮😮😮

Easy to maneuver.

I cant believe they lasted for express bus service it took so much maintenance work to keep it running! 😮😮😮😮

😮😮😮😮😮 they paid the way when that transit strike occurred!!!!!!!

Thankyou those are my favorite SDM-5301's I drove the 3 generation fishbowls SDM's for Grayline tour but there was one 4501 SDM spare . So that waa cool

I enjoy this video 😊

I was 11 years old

Uhh Ohhh i see an 1984 GMC. 3433

GAWD DAMMIT!!!!! I don't understand of how can people still living in the Big Apple without those LEGENDS (RTS). Miss those MCI CLASSICS AND ORION 5s. But RTSs were the KINGS. LOVE LIVE RTS !!! ❤️.

C.n.g. units went to command and triboro coach!
