[B53RICH]

Q65A, you listed the first year of RTS's in NYC was in 1976. Maybe you meant 1978?
Rich.

[Q65A]

Rich, you are absolutely correct: the Series 03 RTS's did not launch until 1978, and NYC never had any Series 01 RTS's (which launched in May 1977).

[Q65A]

At this moment, 1057 RTS's are still in service in NYC.

[JUSXTREME96]

There is still 1 T8H-203, A few T8J-204's, 1 T8W-204, 1 T8J-604, 2 T8O-206's and 1 T8O-206 CNG but those are just Museum Buses or just buses Sitting at yards.

[R62CNG]

At this time, less then 700 RTS's remain in service.

[R62CNG]

About 460 RTS' remain in Brooklyn alone.
