Gary Public Transit Company Optimus Opus transit coach. Gary Indiana USA. August 2004.


I took this photo in August of 2004, whilepassing through downtown Gary Indiana. This very short and unique looking bus, is manufactured by a company called Optimus. This is an example of their "Opus" model small transit coach.
Short buses like this of 30 feet or less, are refered to by "Bus fans" as being "Baby Buses".
The body styling is somewhat simular to NOVA model transit coaches.
The Geographically nearby Chicago Transit Authority recieved their first Optimus Opus bus in the year of 2006. Many are used in the area around north suburban Norridge Illinois.
