GM threatens to halt line of transit buses
GM will drop out of the mass transit business next fall unless federal government changes strict bus design requirements. GMC Truck and Coach head Robert W. Truxell said GM will not bid on the government sponsored transbus due to September design standards, joining Grumman Industries in similar notice. Since 1977 GM has produced Rapid Transit Series buses, delivering 1,400 of 3,200 ordered at about 110000 dollars each.
