The Bus is a public transport vehicle appearing in Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2 (except for the PlayStation version of the game).
The Bus goes on to recur throughout the Grand Theft Auto series, later appearing in both the 3D Universe and the HD Universe.
Influence[]
In the first Grand Theft Auto, the Bus is based on a 1979-1989 International Harvester S-Series.
In Grand Theft Auto 2, the Bus resembles an "old look"-style transit bus (similar to the GM Scenicruiser).
Design[]
In GTA, the Bus may appear with three different schemes, which the latter two are not spawned in traffic:
- In Liberty City, it spawns in a traditional "School Bus" scheme, with a yellow color and a "SCHOOL" text on the roof. A hatch can be seen as well.
- In San Andreas, it spawns in a green/red color, with a text reading "JESUS" and a holy cross emblem.
- In Vice City, it spawns in a brighter yellow color with a shield emblem on top, being either a high school bus or a bus for some kind of sports team.
In GTA 2, the bus is set to spawn in white, while its sides and its roof stripe are brown.
