I was living in L. A. then, where we had our own issues (there were only had 230 of them, but fortunately, SCRTD had starting taking in the first buses of a massive order of GMC RTS-04s the week before the Grummans went away. By mid-January, between the RTS and some older buses brought out of storage, they were back up to full staffing. Grummans started coming back in service around May in LA. I was in NYC for about a week in August and got to ride one of the WMATA Flxibles, somewhere in Manhattan, I don't remember where exactly. I guess they hung around even though some of the Grummans were back in service in NYC when I was there. |
