My bus ride home on RTS route 21/22, part 2.

This is one of the five 2002 MCI D4000 buses that RTS still has in their fleet. Sit back and enjoy part one, which is from downtown to Panorama Plaza in Penfield.

You mean, the driver didn't have you arrested for illegally recording video in Rottenchester?

jimster586 commented on 12 May 2013

I don't really like snow, but when it gets up around 80F it does start to sound good...

jimster586 commented on 10 May 2013

Most of the route is outside of Rottenchester.

georgef551 commented on 10 May 2013

Oh, THAT explains why you recorded video.

jimster586 commented on 05 Oct 2013

I say that every time I got on this one.

This is a fucking 55 minute or so ride!

It's an ok system.

That bus is awesome. I didn't know those type transit buses had storage bays. Would love to see the inside. What gearing does it have? I just changed the gearing on my bus conversion had 478 changed it to 410 was the best change I made. bus runs over 70 and cruises at 65 like a dream. What kind of mileage does it get with the 8v71. That thing sits low wow Killer bus.

JW Smythe commented on 04 May 2015

+Mr Jones On the bays, there's space, just no floors or doors. They have to be built in. I have a picture of mine with one panel off. I used it to get closer to the air dryer in the next section. It's something like 2 feet high from the bottom of the bulkhead to the bottom of the frame rails.. So you have a full square 2'x5'x8.5' space in each section. There's a little more room from the bottom of the frame rail up to the floor. It think it was around 8" to 10". Not so good for a tank, but useful for packing gear into. And no, the mini won't quite fit. I tried. :)//imgur.com/0InRbni

Vancouver has a fleet of suburban Orion V buses (front door only, comfy high back reclining seats, A/C) rolling around, they are better than Rochester's MCI D4000s, as they are not as high floor (steps are not so steep), and allow wheelchairs to board without using a second door (lift is hidden in the steps at the front door).

kind of painful to watch. It's bad enough having to ride the bus home. Its even worse watching someone else's bus ride. I could see how this could be useful to someone who is thinking of riding route 21/22 and doesnt really know exactly where it goes.

jimster586 commented on 18 Apr 2013

Route 21 covers East Rochester and Fairport, Route 22 is Penfield. Some of the runs have both combined and others are separate.

Sam Sitar commented on 18 Apr 2013

looks like 21 and 22 are the same route. i have similar videos. search for balarick pvta. bus stairs are steep.

georgef551 commented on 13 Apr 2013

I don't know which is worse: Looking at Rottenchester Looking at the Jonas Brothers ad underneath the video

2anamaly commented on 21 Aug 2013

wish you'd done this in the summer or late spring so it could be slightly less depressing

georgef551 commented on 13 Apr 2013

Lucky you. I have an older Niece at her younger days, they were huge, and annoying....

jimster586 commented on 13 Apr 2013

I have no clue who the Jonas Brothers are, so I really can't judge...

Sam Sitar commented on 18 Apr 2013

snow helps rottenchester look nice.

Dieselducy drives the 1994 RTS Bus at Commonwealth Coach and Trolley

Filmed in June 2015: Enjoy as I foam over some nostalgia of riding the old RTS Busses that JATRAN busses in Jackson, MS used.

Loved these buses along with Blue Bird school buses. Dang shame they retired these at Disney World.

Brock's Sketchbook commented on 04 Oct 2015

The rts is a page of my childhood. I loved these things as jatran in Jackson used these up until 2007 and I was pissed when they got the Gillig lowflors and retired the old RTS busses

jimster586 commented on 28 Jul 2015

We had GMC RTS 2s here in Rochester, the last of them left in 1998.

LittleRockElevators commented on 15 Dec 2015

+qwandiddy Central Arkansas Transit (now Rock Region Metro) had these type buses along with Neoplans and Gilligs. Currently Rock Region Metro have Gilligs along with Pine Bluff Transit.

qwandiddy commented on 15 Dec 2015

+LittleRockElevators I didn't know Little Rock or anywhere in Arkansas had RTSes

LittleRockElevators commented on 25 Aug 2015

+jimster586 Little Rock did as well but it was 1981 models that last through 2006.

Goodness @ 1:57 when he turns and opens up on that stretch of road... I love how hard this beast shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear. Look how the handicap seat belt panel fly's closed on the 3rd gear shift @ 2:07. That's a bus with attitude. Can someone please explain to me why these type of transmissions have that weird sliding boost / bucking shift at 3rd gear & what is that low rising growling sound that you hear from 2nd - 3rd gear? I love that shit lmao !
