@LetMrAL1 They did alter their Paint Schemes to these buses though. The Jamaica Buses RTS-04's used to have a Brownish-red stripe on white. They really never changed the engines or anything like that. The only PBL RTS I can think of that has been repowered is Green Bus Lines 1012 (1979 GMC RTS-03). It has been repowered to 6v92 from 8v71. Green Lines altered all their 1979 slant back RTS-03's with a retrofit square back A/C.

Oh how I miss GMC products. Long live these buses in the hearts and spirit of those who loved and appreciated them. What I loved is just about all of the private lines did not modify or alter these buses when they left the factory like many other cities did. Sooooo many memories in my 28 years alive riding Green Bus & Jamaica Bus Lines.

I just hate MTA Bus hybrid orions OG and NG. The old 1985 RTS's win over any newer bus MTA has besides Orion V's.

I used to love making the 6v92 sound or whatever engine Green Lines and Jamaica Buses RTS's had when I was 5.

The only Jamaica Buses route I've been on before the takeover was the Q112 and after takeover I went on the Q110 once. I loved JBI's GMC RTS's.

Most of the leftover refurbished RTSes from the Mid 90's are used on the South Shore, not in Boston. All you see in Boston is the new CNG buses.
