I Know alot about transit buses I think that any company would be glad to make 1:50 scale models look like the actuall like these: 1:50 scale bus types: RTS models (Rapid Transit Series):; The Company that discover the Design for the RTS transit bus is The General Motors Corporation. In 1977 Their first models were slanted rear models that has been built from 1977 to 1980. The series # was 1 and 3. Squared rear GMC RTS's was Designed in 1980. Models #4 and 6 build from 1980 to 1987. GMC Ceased the production and sold it to Transportation Manufacturing Corp. TMC was the second corporation to build the RTS same squared rear design as GMC from 1987 to 1991. When TMC RTS's remained to still be squared rear but with new designed w/ different features. series 6 was built from 1987 to 1994. RTS series 8 was built with newly front features with wide enterence from 1991 to 1994. TMC was then changing the name to NovaBus. Novabus continue to bult RTS models models 6 and 8, and The rear design on these buses are just as the same as the TMC. GMC RTS was manufactured from Pontiac, Michigan, and TMC/NovaBus RTS's manufactured from Roswell, New Mexico. Neoplan AN440:; This bus also know known as Transliner: In 1982, Neoplan manufactered transit buses for some major cities. squared-models with air pressure to open both front and rear doors. A/C is placed on top of buses some of them has rear A/C. In other Cities they were known as Transliners, but here's the thing. The Transliners in Pennsylvania are also known as "Pennliners". How about that, huh? These buses are still being bult in Lamar Colorado. Flxible: (New Looks, 870's and Metros);; The buses were manufactured from Ohio. The New Looks were built in Loudenville non A/C models and AC models were built from 1960 to 78. They have excellent rivalry with the GMC Fishbowls throughout the years in most of alot oif transit system in the US. Wgen the New Looks was ceased there came the 870, The 870's was the New design to rule the transit world. they were so efficeint but somehow have no A/C on these buses, I remember NYCTA had these buses but they breakdown so much. They lease these buses to NJ Transit. The 870's were built from 1978 to 1983. The same model as the 870 was renamed the Flxible Metro. These buses was remained to be manufactured from Delaware Ohio. everywhere in the USA , these models became real big in the US like RTS's. The Metros was built from 1983 to 1995. Flxibl;e went out of Business... [The Gillig Corporation:; buses were built over the year by gillig, but There's a Transit buses that always somehow to be the tops of most Mass Transit systems. It is called the Phantoms. The Gillig Phantoms not only made for transit services but They can make School buses out of them too. odd isn't it? but it's true. models began production in 1981 and continue on making the buses. The Gillig Phantoms is manufatured from Hayward, Califorina. I'll have some more ideal transit buses..... thanks. Marcus D Cerdan [
