Back in April at its 80th anniversary celebration, the Big Blue Bus announced a collaborative project with the Art Center College of Design to “create a ‘big picture’ vision of the next generation of transit — namely, design a v. cool, modern bus. Now, the website — Bus of the Future — is up and ready to take your bus-related suggestions.

What does the bus of your dreams look like? What amenities would they have? What annoying features would they avoid? You can put in your two cents on the Bus of the Future blog, which includes progress reports written by design students — and most interestingly, rough sketches of the concept vehicles. Check out one of them below.

The Bus of the Future project’s scheduled to be finished by the end of August, by which time the designers will have 6 conceptual versions — including three 3-D models! — of this futuristic bus. These 3-D models will be judged by transportation and design experts at AltCar Expo in Santa Monica on September 26.
