I have enjoyed this forum enough that I decided to join. I have spent the last 23 years repairing transit coachs. I am or have been working on,
New look
RTS, 3 generations
Flex 870 and Metro
Hi and low floor Gillig
New Flyer
ELdorado

My dream coach would be a RTS Shortened to 20 or 25 feet. I know it would handle bad but it would look nice. Aslo a New Flyer artic with the middle and rear axles powered would be fun to drive.

Skip,

I don't remember where it was, but I once saw a photo of a 'cut down' RTS that was so short that there was only one module between the front and rear door - it appeared to be awfully cute and reminded me of the best looking SUV I've ever seen.

Regards,

Mr. 'L'
