It was supposed to be the future of American buses… but instead, it became a rolling disaster. Meet the GM RTS—the “Rapid Transit Series.” Launched in the late 1970s with bold space-age curves, modular design, and futuristic tech, it looked like a bus straight out of a sci-fi movie. But behind the sleek design came endless breakdowns, costly repairs, and angry transit agencies.
From the glory days as the Fishbowl’s replacement to its painful decline through the 1980s, 1990s, and beyond—the RTS is remembered as one of GM’s boldest yet most frustrating gambles. Riders loved how it looked. Mechanics cursed it. Transit agencies bled money. And by the 2000s, it was clear the “bus of the future” had aged like spoiled milk.
Today, we’re diving deep into the rise and fall of the GM RTS—America’s futuristic bus that couldn’t keep up with reality.
