I'm watching the sixth season of 24 on DVD. In the first episode, a terrorist blows up a Los Angeles Metro Local bus. In the close-up shot, it looks like an RTS-06, but the bus that blows up appears to be an RTS-08. Later in the season, prisoners are released from a Guantanamo-like detention facility on three Department of Corrections buses: an MC-9, what looks like a 35' Blue Bird, and, of course, a Crown.
I also noticed in season five, when the motorcade is attacked, there is what looks like an RTS with a blue stripe far in the background. Could it be 3011?
I also recall some scenes in earler seasons of LACMTA buses passing in the background, and at least one instance of a character boarding a NABI 40-LFW. |

When I first started my contract with "24" they loved LAMTA Flx Metro 2558 and did quite a bit of exterior shots with it. They quickly hated it for an interior scene with some kidnapped boy as these Flx Metro's had L-10's and Voiths. They vibrated so bad that they returned the bus for 2847. I did not personally go on many of the "24" jobs as I didnt need to be there. The few shoots I remember well are the one with a kidnapped boy and he is on the bus with a lady. The other is a scene with alot of fire and destruction with 2847 and another was in 2558 and was of a car being chased down an alley and is blocked by the bus. 3011, 2004 and 2397 have all made appearences on "24"
I no longer have this contract as I was horribly underbid by another company but I am still with FOX. |

Noted on last week's episode - a background NYCTA RTS while Jack is running down a Manhattan street, and later, a LACMTA Metro Local bus in the distant background in a "New York" street scene. |
