The Optare CityPacer was a minibus body that Optare built from 1985 to 1992 on the Volkswagen LT55 chassis. It was launched in November 1985, 294 were made, and London Regional Transport bought 52 of them. Its most distinctive feature was a large one-piece front windscreen with large triangular quarterlights that seemed to wrap around the sides of the body. It was built mainly for the British market, although two were made in left hand drive for an operator in the Netherlands. The CityPacer was supplemented but not replaced by the StarRider, and both were replaced by the integral MetroRider, a design Optare took over from Metro Cammell Weymann.
