In GTA III, GTA Vice City, and GTA Liberty City Stories the Bus retains the "[[School Bus|school bus]]" design featured in GTA 1, and comes in several colors. The design is very generic and takes styling from a wide range of decades, mostly from the '50s. The hood's shape resembles an [[wp:International Harvester S-Series|1980s International Harvester S-Series]]; its slanted side windows may be inspired by the old [[:wp:GM New Look (Fishbowl) Bus|GM New Look Bus]] or [[:wp:Flxible New Look bus|Flxible New Look bus]]; the rear is rounded similar to most '40s and '50s bus designs. The buses in GTA III, GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories all look similar to each other in appearance while the bus in GTA San Andreas resembles a [[Coach]] more than a Bus.

In GTA San Andreas the bus takes on a different appearance, resembling an ordinary city bus. Like the Coach, it can carry the driver and seven passengers. It appears to be based on an [[wp:Motor Coach Industries|MCI]] MC-8 or MC-9.

The Bus' handling is slow and cumbersome, as one would expect, and the vehicle, although fairly tough, cannot readily knock other vehicles aside in the manner of the [[Fire Truck]], [[Barracks OL]], or the [[Flatbed]]. The Bus in GTA San Andreas is an exception because the bus's handling is better than similar vehicles of it's size, most probably due to its lighter weight. It is also more vulnerable to bullet damage than most vehicles of its size.
