Proud Manufacturer of the RTS
The RTS bus is a heavy-duty transit bus sold primarily to transit authorities and municipalities.
The RTS has proven to be a durable and adaptable bus design used in a majority of cities across the
United States and Canada. For the past 16 years, the RTS bus has been assembled in Roswell, New
Mexico by four hundred of the most knowledgeable, experienced and skilled bus manufacturing
employees in the world.

General Motors, Truck and Bus Division first developed the RTS in the mid 1970's. The RTS was part
of a government competition to develop a single specification for a semi-low floor bus product.
General Motors modified the original lowered floor design to a standard height floor bus. The first
sales of the RTS were in 1976, many of which continue to operate in revenue service today. General
Motors sold the operation to Greyhound Dial in 1987. Dial Corporation moved the RTS operations to
Roswell, New Mexico. A plant was built solely for the manufacture of the RTS at the Roswell
Industrial Air Center. Subsequently Dial sold all of their transportation manufacturing operations
and in this process they sold MCI to DINA Corporation, Mexico. Dina decided to sell the RTS
operations to Nova Corporation in 1994. Nova operated the Roswell facility along with their current
operations in St. Eustache, Montreal, Canada. Nova Corp operations in both Canada and Roswell
became a joint venture of Volvo Truck and Bus (VTB) and Henlys in 1997 managing them through
Prevost Car.

Recognizing the storied and rich tradition of this company, the principals of Millennium Transit
acquired the existing physical and intellectual assets of Nova Bus in an Asset Purchase on December
15th 2003. The leadership team at Millennium is convinced the RTS Legend provides the perfect
platform for future innovation and enhancements to transit bus design. Bus orders are currently
being accepted.
