Unitrans 5311 & 5312 were two General Motors New Look buses operated in regular service by Unitrans in Davis, California. They had been owned by a previous operator(s) prior to their service with Unitrans.

These buses were the longest and widest buses on the Unitrans fleet until the purchase of the equally sized Flxible New Looks in the late 1980s. They also had the highest seating capacity of any single-deck bus on the Unitrans fleet past or since (and only three fewer seats than the double-deck RT's). They were both painted in the standard Unitrans paint scheme of the 1980s (a white lower-half and a black upper-half, with red and blue stripes running just below the point where the upper and lower halves meet), but 5311 had a cartoon pig's head painted on both sides of the bus just behind the front door/drivers cab section. Having been sold, they are no longer part of the Unitrans fleet.
