MTA Bus Company:

GMC RTS (ex-Jamaica Buses)


Jamaica Buses operated a number of wide- and narrow-body GMC RTSs from the 1985 and 1986 model years, which could be found operating on all of Jamaica's routes prior to the takeover. Under MTA Bus, these buses were scattered throughout the system, with ex-Jamaica buses operating on ex-Command, ex-Triboro, and ex-Green routes as well as on ex-Jamaica lines.

None of the GMC RTSs ever received the MTA Bus blue and white paint scheme, and all have been scrapped and replaced with Orion VII 07.501 HEV buses.
