Transbus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Transbus" is also the former name of UK bus manufacturer Alexander Dennis.

The Transbus design was begun in the 1970s by the U.S. Urban Mass Transit Administration to produce a modern looking mass transit bus design. General Motors, Flxible, and AM General each produced a Transbus design, although only GM's bore any resemblance to the actual production coach (RTS). Flxible's evolved into the 870 design and AM General stopped making buses. Had the Transbus gone into production, transit agencies would have been forced to purchase it or lose federal funding.
