Two *Ex-SMART* D-dot's retired 1995 NovaBus RTS T8O-206 #3220 & #3230 awaiting scrap

***NOTE***
These two buses were hauled away to the scrapyard after the video was taken. These buses are no longer available in that spot.

Here are the ONLY two of *Ex-SMART* D-dot 1995 NovaBus RTS T8O-206, coach #3220 and coach #3230 that are parked and is in the process of being towed away to the scrapyard. And yes, they BOTH have the Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine with the Allison V-731 automatic transmission. And btw, I was VERY lucky to find and see those two remaining RTS #3200 series! These buses were retired sometime in the summer and the autumn of 2008.

They shouldn't do this to these buses. Municipal bus agencies in Mexico would love to have these in their fleets. I actually seen some RTS buses rebuilded in Mexico. I always see them in Tijuana and also a lot of Flexibles and Gillig Phantoms.

I see and its only for training buses too.

Yes they do, just like the 1996 and 1997's RTS buses. D-dot has also the 2001-02 RTS 82VN models with the Series 50 EGR engine.
