The Amazing RTS Bus!

Imagine a bus that's super long, like a whole line of friends holding hands! That's the RTS bus! It was made to be a comfy ride for lots of people in cities. It had big windows so you could see everything outside. It was designed to be easy for everyone to get on and off, which was a big deal back then. Think of it as a giant, helpful friend for city travel!

A company called GMC started making these buses way back in 1977. They wanted to make a bus that looked really modern and cool, almost like a car with its curvy shape. It was like a special project to make buses better for everyone. Over the years, different companies helped build the RTS, making sure cities always had these important buses rolling along.

These buses were special because they were designed to be super accessible. That means they were made easier for everyone to use, including people who might have trouble walking. The RTS was a step towards making buses that were friendly for all passengers. It helped cities become places where it was easier to get around without a car. They were built to last and serve many people.

The RTS bus came in different sizes, from 30 feet all the way up to 40 feet long! That's longer than a school bus! They were powered by strong diesel engines, like the ones in big trucks, which helped them carry many people. These buses were built using a smart design so that many parts could be used on all the different sizes, making them easier to fix and keep running.
