An RTS bus of the Los Angeles County MTA. Two things notable about this photo: first is the old RTD paint scheme, with the three-color stripe and the black windows...introduced and rolled out originally for the 1984 Olympics; second is that this was the old bus terminal on the north side of Union Station, before the new MTA HQ building was built.
And now for a little bit of urban anthropology.
The city of Łódź hosts two major football teams, RTS Widzew and ŁKS. RTS stands for 'Robotnicze Towarzystwo Sportowe' - Workers' Sports Association and ŁKS for 'Łódzki Klub Sportowy' - Łódź Sports Club. They were founded in 1908 and 1910 respectively. Widzew is the name of a major eastern district of the city.
The two clubs are known for the rivalry between their supporters. They are very territorial and as things stand, the city is split more or less in half between the respective groups (roughly East vs. West). Various graffiti marking the local allegiance are commonly seen. The photo shows one such graffiti.
'RTS' in large letters stands for the Widzew team. 'ŚRÓDMIEŚCIE' means 'City Centre' or 'Downtown', the name of the local district. A small 'ŁKS' logo can be seen in the bottom right; it is drawn upside-down as a sign of disrespect. One can summarize the intended meaning as: 'We, the people of the Downtown district, support the Widzew team, and despise the ŁKS team' or, alternatively, 'We, the supporters of Widzew, who despise the ŁKS team, claim the Downtown district as our own'.
I've removed the original leatherette (if you want to call it that). Yashica used a rather different material to cover the RTS.

De inmiddels bekende RTS trein die met vuile ballast vanuit Duitsland naar Bonder in Maarssen rijdt, trok vandaag ook weer door het land als 50500. Vandaag had de wolkenloterij een winnend lot in oa Driebergen-Zeist, waardoor de trein uit Wesel in een stralend zomerzonnetje werd vastgelegd. 22 augustus 2012.
It's RTs galore in the yard outside Barking garage (BK) c1978, although out of shot are some DMSs and there is one Routemaster here (though IIRC BK did not have an RM allocation at that time).
RT 2773 is in centre-shot, with RT 2541 nearest to the camera. The latter looks like a recent arrival from Catford garage (TL); I remember it as a regular performer on the 62s and 87s and in fact it survived to the very end of RT operation. See also www.flickr.com/photos/16313630@N07/5649286481/. To the left is RT 1989, with blinds for route 62.
I could not resist this weather-beaten Contax RTS, sitting all alone in the second-hand window of my favourite dealer, though I had sworn not to invest in another analogue camera system again, but alas ..
