It’s too square.

And it's made of cardboard.

Most of the buses look pretty clean though. You can just tell the colors on this one don’t pop like a real bus.

so they went the accurate recreation route, eh?

They should have left this at Mass and Cass for a week, that would have weathered it nicely.

Unless they plan to wreck it .... why not just rent one from the MBTA ...?

If they need it for many days this is probably cheaper

Imagine if the MBTA had 20317 buses available for use.

It needs to show up on schedule.

I suppose I meant to say they didn't have any wear and tear, like scratched and scuffed windows, discoloration, salt aging.

True true. Tbh I find a lot of that hard to notice from the outside, but pretty obvious on the inside.

When I walked by this yesterday I also realized the lack of bike rack is a dead giveaway.

When does the movie take place, looks like an older 80s/90s bus

I love the number on the bus. Nice touch for a city like this. 🍀

Some transit agencies use a 5 digit numbering scheme despite not having over 10000 buses. Under the most common 5 digit scheme, the first two digits represent the year the bus was purchased, the third digit represents the size of the bus (3 for 30-35ft, 4 for 40-45ft, 6 for 60ft), and the last two digits represent the fleet number within that series. For example, 20317 would correspond to the seventeeth 35ft bus purchased in 2020. In this picture, the bus is a 35 foot Gillig Low Floor bus. The numbering makes sense, but the MBTA has never owned a Gillig bus (their primary vendor is New Flyer) and has not had 35 foot buses since 2007. The MBTA also uses a 4 digit numbering scheme that does not incorporate purchase date or bus size.

Wow! Didn't know this

Was that filming downtown last night, and why the roads were closed heading towards government center?

Yep, the redline shuttle bus was moved cuz they were filing between the government building and fanueil hall around 11

st patrick's day, ha!

It looks like a low poly LOD texture in a video game.

lmao a Gillig MBTA bus. never thought i’d see that day 😂

It's definitely just there to get blown up.

Not even close? 80/90's buses were the RTS' that were like 20ft tall and had body panels hanging on by half a thread and one courageous ziptie.

It looks like a low-polygon model of a bus from a Grand Theft Auto game set in a fictionalized version of Boston.

I bet that would be a fun game.

It's definitely not a newer style body bus, the roof doesn't have the contour

Were they filming on A street the other day? On my way to work they had all the parking blocked off and on my way home a bunch of crew and two vans that said something like movie or entertainment catering.

Something is off. Those headlights look like the stickers used in NASCAR. Is this a real bus or just a movie prop mock up?

Okay, no bike rack, that's what was bothering me the most about it. I couldn't quite place it.
