University Transport System 428
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
University Transport System 428 was a General Motors "old-look" bus operated in regular service by the University Transport System (currently known as Unitrans) in Davis, California, and was one of an initial fleet of five "old-look" single-deck buses that were purchased in the late 1960s to supplement the fleet of double decker buses that had been in service as early as 1967. Having been sold, it is no longer part of the Unitrans fleet.
