University Transport System 2960

University Transport System 2960

University Transport System 2960 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.

This particular model of bus (the TDH-4801) was a special series made for California operators. It had an unusual length of 37¾ feet (rather than the normal 40 feet) and a seating capacity of only 48 (rather than 51 for a normal 40-foot bus).
