Sorry about the flicker with the red LED trailing lights and the rear destination display. It must be the frame rate of my camera (24 frames per second like motion picture cameras).

Depends on when I will ride the RTC InterCity express route again.

All three Gillig Phantom buses (492, 493 and 494) were built in 2005 (3 years before the Hayward, CA-based bus builder discontinued it).

It was a good thing that the Washoe County RTC bought three of them when they did.

Doesn't sound like the Cummins ISL to me.

I've checked with a mechanic.

It's definitely Cummins ISM.

The ISL is used on the low floor buses used by Washoe County RTC.

From the idling sound, it's definitely a Cummins ISL.

OH OK

It's the frame rate of my digital camera's video recording mode (24 frames per second).

Nothing wrong with the bus itself.
