nycbusfan Posted May 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 23, 2010 Yesterday I was on 2nd. Ave. near the Midtown Tunnel when I saw from far an RTS approaching. When the bus passed me I saw that it was an NYU bus operated by Academy. Does Academy now operate this service instead of Coach USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novabus 5000 Posted May 23, 2010 Share #2 Posted May 23, 2010 Yes. I think. I also saw this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted May 23, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 23, 2010 Yes, Academy has the contract to run the NYU services. The buses being used ran in Rutgers University and Newark Airport (before Golden Touch won that contract). And speaking of companies getting contracts and whatnot, the Coach USA Elizabeth garage lost their Newark Airport service to Academy (not the service to NY, but the shuttles around the airport to the parking lots).

Cait Sith Posted May 23, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 23, 2010 I wonder what has happened to the older NYU RTSs with Detroit Diesel. I hope they are still rolling around here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info Pablo. Besides the RTS' what else is being used for this service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted May 23, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 23, 2010 Thanks for the info Pablo. Besides the RTS' what else is being used for this service? Not sure, but it might only be the RTSes because they have quite a few that were sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted May 27, 2010 Share #10 Posted May 27, 2010 RTSs, LFSs and trolleys run on the system. Line B runs exclusively trolleys. Line E runs the RTSs and the LFSs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
