Overview

The New Look Bus was the face of North American public and regional transit in the latter half of the 20th century, with almost 45,000 buses built between 1959 and 1986. Everyone remembers the New Look, also known as the “Fishbowl” Bus.

Rapido is delighted to introduce EVEN MORE New Look Buses in HO scale, this time with new and returning versions of the TRANSIT model.

With transit-style seats and either a single or dual-stream rear door, these vehicles could be found across Canada and the United States, from major cities to the smallest suburbs and towns. While today passengers are carried along in mostly low-floor accessible vehicles, these pioneers of transportation had long been the pinnacle of road transit vehicles.

This model represents the second through fourth generations of the New Look Bus, spanning from the mid–1960s right up until the 1980s, and comes with agency-specific details from advertising panels to roof hatches.

  • Era-correct rear engine door available in early (2nd generation) or late (4th generation) styles.
