New Disney Bus Paint Scheme

[pixargal]

I like the new design. It has a very vintage Disney look to it.

Just need a rework of the TTC now
and a major monorail refurb of course

Wouldn't that be something. AND cue new forum post.

I like the scheme, reminds me of early TWA planes. Very cool.

I would like to see "Walt" in there though.

Yeah they seem to be taking that out of everything these days.

this was the big thing to distract us from Markey and MyMagic+

hmmmmmm...

your image didnt work, so i fixed it.

Maybe it is just me but when I think of the name "Disney" I instantly default to Walt. Even though I know that Roy was probably more instrumental in make WDW happen than anyone, Walt is the face of the company and the name. So it just does not get my dander up when I just see the name "Disney".

I was thinking the same exact thing. Very sad to me that he is slowing being phased out. If it wasn't for him and his brother WDL wouldn't exist.

I don't like it. Looks too much like a city bus. The old buses remind me of all my great past WDW trips. They stand out. Then again, I don't like any change.

Plus, the original buses are simple to spot.

They do look like city buses!

And yet you drop the W for Walt from your acronym for Walt Disney World..

This was exactly what came to mind upon seeing the new scheme, and the reason why I liked it so much!

That's absolutely disgusting.....

A new bus in town​

01/31/2013 ​

Cast Members and Guests traveling on roadways at the Walt Disney World Resort may notice a new bus in town.​

This Nova bus model features the new bus design scheme.​

The new bus design scheme makes its debut on a Nova bus model in our bus fleet this week. The colors and design elements were developed with safety in mind and feature reflective vinyl, which improves visibility. The silver and red color scheme also complements the bus drivers’ costume.​

Look for more of these designs to be added to the bus fleet this summer.​

LOL well it looks like they now feature actual reflectors embedded in the side. Looking at the that pic after dark it looks like the whole side will reflect back like a rear reflector light.

Reflective.

Does anyone remember the buses from the 80s? They had a burnt orange stripe and that was it. It changed to a purple stripe and then some time in the 90s to the design they are currently phasing out.

There was one time though when all three designs were on property.

I'm trying to find a picture of it online, but I guess when film was more valuable back then folks didn't waste it on buses.

Pre turbo spool fuel burnoff from the diesel will not stick as bad on silver like it does white.

You understand the absurdity of them trying to tell me that White is not highly visible. I get it, they're putting reflective paint on the buses.

Of course the majority of bus accidents happen in the load zones because they weren't built right bit thats a different story....

And people are calling the new design bland?
