白い車体に青ライン、旧型バスが引退　 環境配慮型に移行

The final in-service run of a Rapid Transit Series (RTS) bus, number 5241, along the M55 route on Mon., May 6, 2019. Nearly 4,900 of these buses were ordered by New York City Transit between 1981 and 1999. The retirement of these diesel-powered buses, a familiar sight on city streets since their first pilot test in 1979, brings us closer to our vision of a greener, zero-emissions fleet.
