This is what a RTS transit coach should sound and ride like. It makes one hell of a difference in the life of these buses if the transit district invests money to keep the fleet maintained. I applaud OCTA for their maintenance program because this bus is as quiet and smooth as when this bus was new 29 years ago. Most fleets just run the wheels off their buses then within two years need replacements. I will consider purchasing an OCTA RTS unit for my private use.
YEAAHHHH!!! Now THIS IS what a transit bus should sound like! I'm glad some of those 6V92 powered RTS buses were saved and preserved! Excellent recording, and btw RTSs 4 LIFE!!!!!
This is the TH-8203 models GMC RTS-03 coach in there with there retrofidded Detroir Diesel 6V71 TA drive enging plus the Allison V730Bbb hyrdolic drive transimmions.

I thought OCTA weren't going to retire these until 2012-2013

@newyorkfan16 OCTA should've kept them until they're over 40. Calgary, Canada still got their 1977 GM New Looks in service.
