NovaBus RTS-06 #5165 was on the Q17 crossing over Union Turnpike and traveling along 188th St and was heading towards Jamaica. Also making a cameo appearance would be NovaBus RTS-06 #4901 (coming down the hill) also was on the Q17 heading towards Flushing.

Listen carefully to the sound of NovaBus RTS-06 #5165. LOL! Sounds like a spaceship or something like that on take-off...LOL! I love those Novas!!!

  • Very Nice!

  • @StopRequested I wanted to give you 10 thumbs up but I you tube would only allow me one!. I saw some videos of the Eastchester Yard and OMG!!...near brand new TMC RTS's from Jamaica Bus fleet going to the grave yard!! Not to mention MCI Classics that look as if they were given fresh MTA color paint jobs then all of a sudden thrown into the scrap pile!. I'm only 27 man but I think these are great driver training and emergency buses to keep on hand if we really need them!!

  • That's some sad news really. *Sigh*

  • Orions, old and new, I think.

  • They're scrapping RTS's for Orion NG HEV's.

  • OH and one more question what is the most used bus in the nyc fleet

  • When you say scrapping for money you mean for more fuel effecient buses

  • Ok. I see what you're sayin'. Unfortunately, though, there's no hope. The era of REAL buses is over for the most part. There aren't really many options now either with the ADA insisting that buses be compliant for the disabled, i.e., low floors and the EPA insisting on ever-greener tech. There is no future for hardcore buses anymore. Here in NYC, they're scrapping perfectly decent TMC RTS's for money. It's very sad actually.

  • Yes

  • Were you replying to me because I got a message and you've got a duplicate on this page.
