Talk:Transportation Manufacturing Corporation

Something here is really confusing me, and I'm hoping maybe some of the TMC buffs can answer this for me.

This sentence confuses me: "TMC sold its Classic bus license to NovaBus in 1991 and spun off in 1993 as Motor Coach Industries." Uh, didn't MCI own the Classic from 1987 - 1993 when NovaBus acquired the Classic? Where does TMC fit into this? I thought the only design acquired from GMC that TMC built was the RTS... Ugh, what's going on? --hfx_chris 00:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

told of difference in options, prices, and customers

TMC in the 1970s made the same bus that MCI did except for choice of options, in that MCI offered more options and higher pricing and TMC fewer and lower pricing but TMC buses were bought mostly by Greyhound Lines for its own use while MCI buses were sold mostly to other bus companies. This was told to me by a Greyhound bus driver back then, in the days of the MC-9, MC-8, MC-7, and MC-5 (I forgot letter suffixes). I don't have a source.

Proposed merge with Motor Coach Industries

TMC was really just the name for MCI buses built in the Roswell NM plant. There isn't enough information in my opinion to justify a separate article. TheTransitFanNY 23:44, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree. This was more of a division of MCI, the same way LaSalle was a division of Cadillac. -------User:DanTD (talk) 21:51, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
