The tanks on these are good til the start of 2020. IIRC, #7810-7819 are from 2005, delivered about a year later as free compensation buses for the delayed order of the first 250 units. #7810 is scrapped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably not just the tanks themselves expiring. There’s prob other issues on the bus that are too expensive and not feasible to fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(8) Yeah, it's sad that the D60HFs are mostly retired when compared to the RTS. The remaining Orion VII CNGs will definitely fade away by the end of March since only 16 remain. The M15, M101, M102, M103, as well as all of the Bronx articulated routes (like the Bx12, Bx15, Bx19) will never be the same without them. And according to this, 119 is scrapped out of KB... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q23 via 108 Posted February 13, 2019 Share #1773 Posted February 13, 2019 Is MTA considering doing a farewell run for the RTS? They should, because the RTSes are apart of New York's history. That bus model has been here for 40 years. Everyone in New York has at least seen one in person, and it is definitely an icon. It's on that status of those Yellow Crown Victoria taxi cabs. I know they'll persevere unit 5249, but MTA should do what they did on the last day of the Redbird. Granted an RTS cannot fit as many people as a 11 car R36 train, but they can have it on a display for one last time in revenue service. Also, has MTA thought about converting a 1999 Novabus RTS to a Metrocard bus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q23 via 108 Posted February 13, 2019 Share #1774 Posted February 13, 2019 Also, once all the RTSes retire, do you think that they could perhaps run them on the M42 during the holidays along side the Historic fleet? Either way, MTA Bus as a whole will never be the same. The next chapter will be on Xcelsior's. The Xcelsior's are doing what the RTS was doing 40 years ago. Back then MTA just bought mostly RTSes (And some Orion 5s to add variety). Nowadays, MTA is mainly buying Xcelsior's (and some Novas here and there). And the only difference is that the Xcelsior's come in more versions (XD, XN, XE, XDE, 40ft and Artic). RTS were only 40ft diesel (with very few exceptions. A few CNGs here and there. And that one Methanol RTS) So when everything is all set and done. I have the Xcelsior's as "New York's Next Bus". Me personally I'd say that the Orion 7s, would be the next face of the MTA (Because they have a big presence and impact in every borough except Staten island) But those Orion 7s aren't going to last long as the Xcelsior's seeing as they are hybrids (About 15 years) . And that one Orion 7 in JFK (I think its 3565) that is the diesel converter unit will probably be the only Orion 7 to be preserved. And when I say Orion 7, I say Old gens, Not talking about Next Gens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted February 13, 2019 Share #1775 Posted February 13, 2019 The RTS are too new for the holiday runs, it will probably be 15-20 years before we see an RTS on one of those Holiday runs. They don't even use 236 on holiday runs and that was retired years before Blitz 5227 bus was lol. As for running a fan trip of sorts to bow out the RTS, that would only work if they used every RTS in the museum fleet so one bus wouldn't be overcrowded. But I doubt the TA would want to run the PBL RTS's on the M42. Plus all the buffs would flock to 1201 and 10001 due to their engines. I think the last Fishbowl got retired quietly without any fanfare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
