Welcome back to Paterson temporarily NJ Transit RTS |

Posted by Flxible4life on Wed Jul 23 15:52:44 2014 It's been a looong time since I've seen an NJ transit RTS rolling in the streets of Paterson...until now. Hearing that distinctive roar sound I looked out my window and caught a glimpse of the side rear end of the bus. I was too late to catch the route number as it was headed to Newark rolling on Main Street in Paterson. Orange garage is the only NJT garage that has some RTSs left rolling. How lucky are them hehe. The bus was on either route nos. 72 or 74. I'm guessing the NABI from Market St. Garage broke down along the way or at the Bloomfield/ Newark area.I miss riding those buses in the Passaic County/Bergen County regions. Welcome back in the city of Paterson RTS. I know that downtown the public including the veteran and new bus drivers of Market St garage, Wayne garage and Coach USA(Community Transportation) drivers heads were turning |

Market Street was just phasing them out when I started working there last year. A few were brought back for Superbowl service but I never did get the chance to drive one. |

Johnny, you're the right height for an RTS, they were not designed for a tall person to be comfortable in the drivers seat without your left foot and leg to fit anywhere. |
