On-Board NovaBus RTS-06 On The S79 crossing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn. This was quite a good run if I say so myself.Listen to this engine, What a beast. I always loved the sounds of an RTS, sounds alot better than the regular Orion Vs. Catching this bus was a surprise to me. Happy that I did catch it :)

Powertrain specs are as follows

Detroit Diesel Series 50 DDEC
Allison VR-731 ATEC

  • NYC has them governed? Never knew. HEere in puerto rico, the Novas aren't, neither were the old 1988-95 Flxible buses 870 models, nor the orion V,VI,VII's. But i prefer the old Flxibles and RTS over Orion any time. NIce video though

  • These busses 9413 run in Brooklyn on the B's 1,36,3,6,64,74. Is that true? They are running them at the Ulmer Park Bus Depot in Brooklyn now!

  • 9413 sounds much better and much different

  • 9413 ""was"" a 40 when it was brand new. When any local bus goes to Staten Island, it's governor is upped to 55mph. It was 55mph for when the Novas were on SI and is 55mph for the Orion Vs and Orion VIIs on SI. If they leave any bus on SI at 40mph, then every bus would be late and the scheduling would be way off.

  • LOL.....just figured i'd throw that out there..dont ask me why.

  • I know, you are about a year late with that one lol

  • Nah man.........9413 was a 40 since it was brand new. The governor never was taken off unless SI took it off and now UP started governing their buses so now its back at 40

  • ummm.....9413 is a Nova buddy.....

  • It was 40mph at FB and UP, but when it was at Yukon it was 55mph.

  • Not that one. IT was governed at 40 mph at FB and its still 40 mph at UP
