Does anyone here know how many RTS's still have the original black rear color, I know many of them have been painted white? I seen my first one today in Brooklyn and was surprised I believe the number was 8009 or 8079.

8009 does not exist.
8079 is a Nova low floor, not an RTS, assigned to Queens Village.

This bus was pulling out the Stillwell Bus Terminal I believe it made a left on to Neptune from Stilwell Ave I believe. The bus started with an 8 for sure and I do believe I seen a 9 some where from the distance.

Actually, both are Nova LFS buses assigned to QV. Neither is an RTS.

Probably about 125 or so, mostly 1996s. A few 1999s still have a black back, but only one 1998 RTS (9529) still has a black back.

I though 9529 had a white back. I am not doubting you at all but I have a feeling there may have been a collision and it needed a salvaged back from a retiree.
