Heres a pix of a Greyhound Scenic cruiser I did from an MEK kit. they are pricey. The above has quite a few buses look at the catalog page and use the pull down menu for autos and buses and select show all buses.
Year’s ago I got a magizine called Bus World ( no longer in circulation) at that time there was a small company in Florida that ran an ad in the magizine that made some 1/87 size bus’s you had to paint and decale them your self and I ordered four from them ( nice ) I no longer have the address for that company,nor remember the name but maybe someone will, and if they do and the company is still a round, they can post the name and address or web site. All the one I got were under $10.00 each at that time
How about this?

Guys,
For Greyhound,
I think he’s looking for “modern” Greyhound coaches, such as the MC-10, MC-12, or the MCI 102A3. The MC8 and MC9, which are or have been available in kit form date back to the 1970s and 80s.
Modern Transit,
It’s sad for me to see the ranks of Flxible Metro and GMC-RTS coaches thinning in the U.S and Canada today. For years U.S transit authorities had a “buy American only” policy. Well, seems that’s no longer the case.
A number of transit authorities are now using Europeon built or Europeon/Japanese styled coaches. Many of them have low floors, aluminum wheels, HUGE passenger windows and windshields (targets for rock throwing thugs). Hybrid buses are becoming more popular due to the “global warming” panic alarms.
Good news for modern era modelers is that there are plenty of models in the Walthers Catalog that come pretty close to resembling these coaches. Certain models of Setra and Mann resemble the modern Gillig transit bus, which is now commonly seen in the U.S. Many have the doors on the drivers side, but a number of them do have the doors on the “curb side” which make them plausible for North American use. All you need is some airbrush and/or decal work.
I’m currently converting a Mercedes Benz bus to “reasonably” resemble a 1960s Trailways O-1 coach.
On ebay I typed in “Toy buses”. Turns out there are loads and loads of Europeon buses up for bids. Soem prices are reasonable, some are ridiculous. I’m searching because my wife’s cousin once an HO version that could pass for a U.S bus. I saw a good number of HO&nb
