Flyer D900

The Flyer D900 was the third and last generation of the transit bus design that began with the D700, built from 1978 until 1987. It was a facelifted D800 in which the complex multi-pane windshield was replaced by two flat panes, with the driver's side pane inclined to reduce glare and reflection. The D901, introduced in 1980, curved the windscreen around the driver's corner, and the D901A shortened the wheelbase and widened the front door. For San Francisco Muni a D902 was built with a choice of engines. A trolleybus version, the E901 and later the E902, was built for BC Transit, including 200 E901 buses for Vancouver in 1982 and 1983. In all, 1,796 D90x buses were built. Flyer had become New Flyer in 1986, so the last of the series were New Flyer products.
