Summary

Description

The final in-service run of a Rapid Transit Series (RTS) bus, number 5241, along the M55 route on Mon., May 6, 2019. Nearly 4,900 of these buses were ordered by New York City Transit between 1981 and 1999. The retirement of these diesel-powered buses, a familiar sight on city streets since their first pilot test in 1979, brings us closer to our vision of a greener, zero-emissions fleet.

Darryl Irick, MTA Bus Company President and NYCT SVP of Buses, drove the RTS bus out of the Michael J. Quill Depot. Both Irick and his father were Transit bus operators who drove the "Big Blues and Whites" during their careers.
