I was there for the first time in October...That bus was sittin in the very same spot as it is right now! I love that place! I was there with Thomas Rice and the Deck!
@rts9100 Thats cool! It really is worth the trip. The problem with the 8903 is it has a steering line failure which needs to be changed out. We are planning on getting this done very soon!
@ck4049 Awesome!! I wish there was I way I can help out as I do not drive a personal vehicle! I would love to help the gang keep the equipment up and running for viewing pleasure and fun!
@TheDylanJoyce Unfortunately no. NovaBus stopped producing them in 2002. In 2007, a group of investors and workers from the New Mexico factory where the RTS was produced from 1987-2002 started Millenium Transit Services. They built a limited run of buses until they ran into finacial problems and folded in 2009. The buses were T-Drive since the Allison V-731 was no longer in production. They went to Pueblo Transit and NJ Transit, but the NJ Transit ones are now at Foxwoods casino as shuttles.

@TheDylanJoyce They might, the MBTA in Boston still has a bunch of them and they are due for retirement in 2012.
