NYCAirporter uses Gillig low floor (ex Alamo/National rent-a-car?).

Suburban Trails/CoachUSA may be testing this Prevost Car X3-45.

Newark Airport Express RTS still carries "NYU Shuttle" route sign....

1. The Newark Airport Express is one of the former Rutgers buses, correct?

2. I think the Gillig might be ex-Hertz. Alamo/National never used Gilligs (at least not at Philadelphia International Airport). Avis' Gilligs had front and rear doors. (Or, I may have gotten the two mixed up; not sure offhand)

Destination sign is related from NYU shuttle.
I heard Suburban once operated Rutgers shuttle, but I do not know whether this one was running as Rutgers shuttle OR not.

Independent Bus/CoachUSA operated NYU shuttle. This RTS was #30614, just 2 numbers behind of Olympia RTS.
New York University 30614

I saw Alamo/National Gillig at LAX(Los Angeles), but it had a front door....

Sorry, I made a mistake.
NYU shuttle was operated by International Bus/CoachUSA, not Independent Bus.

Rental car shuttles buses don't count. They are in the same classification as rubber tired fake trolley cars. :)

Actually, 30614 is a former Rutgers bus, back when Suburban Trails had the contract.

Yes, if you're going back to the Suburban contract when it was bus 614.

How do you pay a fare or ticket on that low-floor Gillig with only a center door ? Does the driver have to stand outside ?

RTS's always look a lot batter in a color scheme other than white.

Ticket agent is standing outside at the bus stop and passengers can pay fare by cash and credit card. Ticket agent is checking the ticket when boarding the bus.

I rode NYCAirporter buses several times (including Temsa Coach T35), there are No fare box inside the bus.
