The Bus of the Future

A vision of the future from the 1968 I-Spy Buses & Coaches...

The Bus of the Future, 1968 style

In the future buses will probably have automatic fare collection. This one is operated by one-man – the driver – and you pay him as you enter; or you put tokens, bought beforehand, into a machine to get your ticket.

I-SPY a train-like front – rather like a diesel; a low windscreen; and a small glass panel, low down at the side, to let the driver see the curb.

This Leyland Panther rear-engined bus has a front entrance and centre exit.

Who ran the 'pay-as-you-enter' bus you saw?
