I miss these buses. I sure have great memories of them when I was a kid.
-
oh and I remember those old new flyers (I think) that were articulated and had a rear windows and the engine made deep bassy noise anyone know what Im talking about??
-
hey I rember those buses I used to ried them as a kid but around 2006 or so Valley Metro Retired these buses and man the seats were SO COMFY!!!!!
-
youre right. they were originally slopebacks. They had DD8V71 engines as well. They got repowered until around the late 80s or early 90s with the DD 6V92TA.
-
the oldest series are the 5200/5300/5400 low floors.
-
there were some RTSs that stuck around until February 2008. 3112, 3056, and a few others come to mind have to look.
-
the 1989 gilligs, then new flyer d40hf, then 1995 new flyer d40lf and so on
-
yep. NFTA Buffalo used the same converter caps on all of their 5000-series GMCs.
-
Looks like the bus was one of the original slope-back models that was converted to square-back. The rear ad rack is the same type SCRTD used in the early 80s. The RTS design looks as modern today as it did 30 years ago.

And that is an honorable 27 years.

OCTA has officially retired the last three GMC RTS buses after 27 years of service.

The buses were built in 1980. Right now the last three can be seen almost any places, they are reserve fleet buses.

I'm sure this RTS is 8V71 powered. Could you record this bus inside next time? Also, my city used to have the 35 or 40 ft RTS's with the 8V71s before they retired in 97 or 98. I really miss seeing those GMC RTSs with the 8V71 engine...

I will see what I can do, but don't get your hopes up. There are only three of these left in service and it is rare to see them at all. I was lucky I got this one.
