The hoot after all this was Gunn took up in D.C. where there were zillions of Flx's, which helped bounce out RTS's and Neoplans.Side note: Gunn did say in print in NYC that there are those in the industry that feel the RTS was not such a hot bus. Then the RTSs made headlines with flying off rear wheels, rear doors that opened unexpectedly, and failing air conditioning on the sealed windows. A cute cartoon in the Daily News showed an RTS and a package of new windows with a caption "DO NOT OPEN 'TIL XMAS" alluding to the fact new opening windows were ordered for the RTS buses but they would not arrive until December! A good time was had by all. jrc |
