  • What happen in 1:02 to 1:09???

  • bellows (airsprings for buses) are low on left side--probably a bad valve. Causes bus to lean on one side

  • Must have hired uncertified mechanics from the street who doesn't know a damn thing how to fix buses.

    Poor RTS!!!!!!

  • @DulcEmiGUElito1 That's not the point, it's not the old buses, it's the mechanic's fault, they even got none- certified mechanics as well, I go to Detroit sometimes and I already seen more than few of their 2004-2006 model New Flyer buses they have are beat up and lopsided too. New York City still got alot of their Nova RTSes from late 90s model and they're way better shape and well taking care of more than DDOT buses. Toronto still got their buses that are 30 years old and still runs well.

see all

  • @lamarr912 Most people, especially African Americans in Detroit come from Down South which why most of them can't speak proper English correctly. lol

  • @DulcEmiGUElito1 It doesn't help at all, 2004-05 New Flyers are now just as bad shape worse as Nova RTSes. 

  • @david123321ism I bet by this coming Summer that some of them probably rusted beat up by then. 2004-2006 New Flyers are some what bad shape now.

  • I'm suprised that the 2010 new flyers that they have are still in good shape.

  • @knightclassic1 my fav all time bus is flx metro series they lean when turnin etc

  • @DulcEmiGUElito1 IF you check out Fairfax (DC Area) Transit's 1995 Nova RTSes and Montebello (CA) Transit 1991-92 TMC RTSes, they still look spanky brand new.

  • @coreyprkr2005 You tell em', my friend!!! Most of times thesedays, old means better, like GM New Look, RTSes, Classics are twice better and more reliable. Most buses that are made after 1995 to current are unreliable.

  • @coreyprkr2005 Sure don't!!!! Most of new buses they make these days are 2 times worst and cheap. GMC RTSes from early 1980s are BETTER Reliable buses.

  • @knightclassic1 new does not mean better
