The wife and I spent a couple of days in Atlantic City for our 5 anniversary. Got a few pics today on our way back, which included a slight detour into Philly for a cheesesteak from Jim's.

W.J.,

Nice photos as usual!

The NJ Transit RTS's still look great!

I wonder when the last GM based RTS will be taken out of revenue service in the U.S.

Right now, it looks as though NYMTA, NJ Transit and Golden Gate Bridge Transit (Ca.) are in a real tight race!

Let's hope it lasts another decade or so.

Thanks for sharing.

Mr. 'L'

Happy anniversary!

Oh, and good catch of the Greyhound Prevost, too! Last time I was in Atlantic City, NJT was running mostly Flx Metros and MC-9 commuters on the long routes.

I took several charters out to Atlantic City during my previous life working for a charter outfit part-time. Never knew where I might end up on a 4-day weekend from driving at Metro in Cincinnati...

I wonder if Atlantic City is still as anal about tour buses as they used to be? You had to stop at the staging area, pay for a permit, get specific instructions on which streets you were allowed to drive, etc., etc. My first experience was wierd, because an Atlantic hurricane arrived on the coast the same day our three-bus charter arrived.

I recall driving down Black Horse Pike from the famous Hanson's Bus World into town to take our riders to a casino for all-night gambling, and the waves were washing over the highway. What an adventure!
