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
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.

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.

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.

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?
