Length	35 to 42.5 feet

The Millennium Transit Services RTS Legend, like the RTS' produced before it, may feature ADA compliant lifts in either the front or rear door. The RTS Legend uses stainless steel, modular monocoque design and assembly and boasts updates to the electrical system, sign system, and fare collection system. A major difference between the RTS Legend and the RTS' before it, is the rear axle was moved foward and the powertrain aranged in a T-drive configuration instead of a V-drive configuration. With the axle moved foward, leg room for the rear seats was improved from the original RTS'. The T-drive configuration allows for more transmission options.
