it looks like the 4900s RTS are now at the following depots:

4900-4930: JA
4931-4944: ULP
4946-4960: FLA
4961-4979: WF
4980-4999: ENY

I can see more of the 4900's being updated..i think.

Are the 1200 series select buses being unwrapped? Many look repainted; is the SBS wrap a dead issue?

This is a real treat.
Can't recall the last time I rode an RTS in the Bronx.
Thought they were exiled Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.
