I thought about the possibility that it was made by TMC as they're building RTSes around that time, but I decided to do a some research and here's what I found out: The location above was at the intersection of West 133 St. & Amsterdam Ave. in New York, NY, facing south on Amsterdam Ave. The only bus routes that run through that intersection are the M11, M100, and M101, all of which are MaBSTOA (Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority, a subsidiary of NYC Transit) routes. In order to figure out if that bus was made by GMC or TMC, I had to find a NYC Transit bus roster, one of which is http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/nebuses/rosters/nycta3.html. Once inside, I checked the notes alongside the GMC RTSes (T8W-204, T8J-204, T8O-204, and T8O-206) and the TMC RTSes (T8O-206). That's why I considered that bus above to be made by GMC. -- Last edit: 2011-06-28 22:20:08
