GTA 6 Bus: the Vice City Transit Bus

The white and blue city bus on the freeway in Trailer 1’s opening shot, packed with passengers in a Vice Beach screenshot, and in Trailer 2. It copies a New Flyer Xcelsior in Miami-Dade Metrobus colours; Rockstar has not named it.

Bus in GTA 6 — real-life model, liveries, bus stops, can you ride it

Each answer carries how settled it is and who settled it. Where nobody has said, the card says that instead of guessing — and says what stays open even after the answer.

Has the Bus been seen in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Yes — in Trailer 1 at 0:03, and in an official screenshot.

A white and blue city bus drives along a busy freeway in the opening shot (Trailer 1 at 0:03). A bus packed with passengers drives through Vice Beach in an official screenshot. These are identifications made from Rockstar’s own footage — Rockstar has not named the vehicle in any of them.

Still open — Whether it can be driven, bought or modified — none of that shows in a frame.

What is the GTA 6 bus based on?

Shown, not stated

A New Flyer Xcelsior, painted like a Miami-Dade Metrobus — and it has no name yet.

GTA Wiki, GTABase and GTA 6 Intel all read the front, the roof line and the side windows as the New Flyer Xcelsior, a city bus common across North America. GTA Wiki and GTA 6 Intel both match its white and blue paint with a green stripe to the Miami-Dade County Metrobus, the system that serves Miami. Rockstar has published no name for it; “Bus” is the series’ old one.

Still open — Its in-game name and maker.

How many bus liveries are in GTA 6?

Shown, not stated

Three so far, by GTA Wiki’s count: white and blue with a green stripe, the same with a red stripe, and all white.

The green-stripe bus runs along the freeway in Trailer 1’s opening shot; the red-stripe one is in a screenshot from the Vice City section of Rockstar’s site; the all-white one appears in Trailer 2 and another Vice City screenshot. GTA Wiki’s Trailer 2 shot list also puts Lucia in the back of a bus of this type when she fires the grenade launcher at 1:58. A Vice Beach screenshot shows one packed with passengers.

Still open — Whether liveries mark different routes or agencies.

Can you ride the bus in GTA 6?

Nobody has said

Rockstar has not said. Fans found a detailed bus stop, with people waiting, 27 seconds into Trailer 1 — a hint, not a feature.

In January 2024 a Reddit user pointed out a bus stop sign in the background at Trailer 1’s 27-second mark, with a group standing beside it, and argued it was too detailed to be scenery; Dexerto and Charlie INTEL reported the find. Nothing Rockstar has published describes riding a bus, bus routes or using stops to travel.

Still open — Whether buses run routes you can board, or only fill the traffic.

Has the Bus been in earlier GTA games?

Stated

Yes — including GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV, GTA V and GTA Online.

The name returns from Rockstar’s earlier releases, which GTA Wiki lists for it. What carries over is the name and the maker; whether GTA 6’s model drives or costs the same is not known.

Still open — Whether anything beyond the name and the look carries over.

How we checked this page

Four references agree on the New Flyer Xcelsior: GTA Wiki, GTABase, GTA 6 Intel and GTA Intel. The Metrobus colours are matched by GTA Wiki and GTA 6 Intel. Trailer 1’s opening shot is where both place the first bus; GTA Wiki times it at 0:03. The three liveries are GTA Wiki’s count and are labelled so. The bus-stop find comes from Dexerto and Charlie INTEL, January 2024. Social posts claiming bus stops work as fast travel cite no Rockstar source and are not repeated.
