2001 Nova RTS Bus 

It’s crazy seeing the tires that shiny, good work

This rts bus is a classic.

Damn that thing is gorgeous all cleaned up!

NJ transit corporation used to have Nova RTS T80206 30.ft and 40.ft buses and they were equipped with Cummins ISC and ISL engines with ZF ecomat 5HP 592 Transmission and they were retired then in 2013

Look forward to seeing you driving this great piece of machinery

I still love these buses. That iconic whine though!

Thank you for the overview of the RTS. I just learned about these buses two days ago, while looking for bus for an rv conversion.

Nova RTS Last For A Very Long Time & Very Strong 💗💖💋🇺🇲

Kool bus. Enjoy. One day I will get mine 👍

I rode the rts buses that were driven in new York city. I ended up getting a CDL in Connecticut but never got the chance to drive an rts. I love rts buses. Take them over those ugly gilligs anyway. Thank for the memories. Keep up the good work.

You have that bus looking good man. I drive the busses for TAMU and they don’t get that clean very often.

I Miss The RTS Bus Back in My Hometown L.A.-Town: Los Angeles, CA

You are the man glad to see someone with a GMC RTS those are the best buses ever made and it's just so hard to say goodbye to them

I love that sound mauly on the d40lf I miss those buses

Thats one nice bus! 🇺🇸🤙

I remember thes RTS busses when I was young going to Disney World.

Thanks for the video!

This is a Beautiful TAMIU Aggie Spirit Bus, Really Sad to see the Others retire

Man, I love this! I was a driver in Cincinnati. I'd like to see this with a nice custom paint job, and an interior remodeling! If you remodel, please show it. I loved driving buses to brother.

LOVE IT❤❤❤

Cool RTS Bus. That's Look like it was a UT Bus in Houston one day I will buy a Grumman flexible and a RTS

Was hoping it would have an air starter. Either way, good job!

113......how we had some good times. 😎

I rode that type of bus. I know someone who owns a few of these buses. A 1985 GMC 40-foot, 1989 TMC 35-foot, 1998 Nova Bus 35-foot and a 2000 35-foot with a different front end and instrument panel. The last three buses had the sport style steering wheel.

I love the Rts buses

Man look like a tmc Bus that's retired in Chicago Cta bus 1991 -2008

Great video drove the RTS’s for 25 years with the NY MTA a real work horse. P.S. it not an arm rest it’s a crowd bar

It looks like it was from the Texas A&M fleet.

I like this bus nova rts

Great looking bus. What's your intent with it, in service or collection? My dad drove for Toronto Transit Commission, so I grew up with New Looks and Classics. I drove charter for a while myself

cool video - always like the RTS design - not a very common bus used in Canada.

I see all the TAMU Aggie Spirit drivers have found your video lol

I remember this bus in puerto rico

Great

You have the incurable bus illness that we all do! And do you really want to be cured?? Heck No!!! Nice bus, cool bus! And the message sign is also cool! I have a 1982 MCI MC9 40 foot Crusader II. I turned it into a tour bus. George F. Piedmont, SC

Ooh, one of the window mullions in the interior, is kinda popped out. lol

Best transit buses ever! I drove for the NYC Transit Authority in the 80s. We hated the old "Fishbowl" rattle traps but loved the RTS - such a smooth ride, just glided over bumps & potholes. Unfortunately they were all replaced with new hybrid buses which are terrible rattle traps, as bad as the Fishbowls. What are your plans for this bus, RV conversion?

Those rims look AMAZING! My jaw dropped. What are your plans for it? Is it going to be a hobby vehicle cleaning it up or road trip type of thing?

Hope you’ll be able to get your hands on their millennium rts legend busses once they retire those Texas A & M! They’re still kind of new at least.

What is the private owner registration / insurance process like?

You should try to get Orion v ! Those buses are mean !

As a current TAMU driver and someone who’s spent a lot of hours driving this unit. Just wondering what you’re gonna do with it? Are you going to convert it or anything?

Oh she is pretty

Can you change the sighn without the depot?

That bus says San Antonio Via all over it.

Ayeeee hey brother, where do I go about obtaining one.

Quick question which transit is that RTS retired from? It looks like a Fayettevill FAST RTS because of the stripe and number location but I am probably incorrect.

whats the top speed of these on the highway?

doesn't TAMU hire students to drive their buses?

I want one

Wheelchair lift

Are you doing ride alone

Pick me up so we can go to chruch

Rent the bus! Make money!

hey boy
