Also they are called "RTS Extreme"

Millennium Transit Services made low floor RTS.


what do you think of them?

Looks good. The high floor RTS aren't good for tall people. I can touch the top of the bus.

Only if low floors were introduced, they would probably do better than the high floors.

Actually, it isn't the bus, it's the maker, SEPTA has tons of New Flyer Low Floor buses, and they are all too short for some people, the NABi's we have are taller... i think LF model can stay away because it causes engine issues
