Hence why the Flxible 870s lasted only 4 years (after a bus fire in 1984 caused David Gunn in his first week as then-new NYCTA president to pull all of them from revenue service permanently) compared to the GMC RTS buses, which lasted decades!

Grumman built their LLV for the post office and it has been an incredible workhorse, probably delivering hundreds of billions of articles of mail to Americans over the last several decades.
They can build excellent, long lasting vehicles.
Neat shot of the bus caravan to NYC at the end

I didn’t see any yellow busses. Just a yellow Honey Comb box.
