TMC-RTS-08 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I am wondering what buses does Racine Transit (Belle Urban System) uses? Do they still use the Nova RTS? Anyone knows if the RTSes are used on weekends? I am hoping to see some, but most likely BUS is going to be all Gilligs on the weekend. I would be interested in going to check out Racine's fleet sometime in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPTA42 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 1988 TMC (#034-042) and 1997 Nova (#043-065). Don't know if the TMCs are still in service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kenosha still have couple of their 1996 Nova RTS, but I don't know about their GMC/TMC RTSes though, I'm suppose to help my friend to move from Chicago to Racine in July sometime, so I'm going to try to catch a ride with one of them. Also Gary, Indiana still has their 1996-1998 Nova RTS, probably only one remaining 1995 Flxible Metro, and they also has some of secondhand Orion Vs appeared to be early 1990 model, one of the GPTC drivers told me that they came from Des Moines IA or Madison Metro.

Let me know how many of the RTS buses you see in Racine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
