I watched a show called "Movie Magic" back in the mid ‘90s’ that featured this film. They showed how the special effects team created the crash scene with the passenger bus. They used a large scale model of the vehicle. -- Last edit: 2007-01-07 02:59:48 |

Looks like a GM "Old Look" style bus. -- Last edit: 2007-01-07 03:13:26 |

Don't know the model, but it's a GM 'Old Look' bus fitted with trolley poles to make it look like a trolleybus...... |

That's a TDH-4801. Some strange California regulations did not permit 40-foot buses at the time, so GM build this 37-3/4 feet special version. In the rear view you can see they have four paired windows before the rear door, then one single and a paired window after it - that's their signature. |

This is one of two buses that was made up for this movie. Both buses are ex SCRTD and I believe both to be TDH 4801's. They are both still around and are still painted this way. www.rts-regionaltransitservice.com |
