The Gillig Phantom was a transit bus produced by the Gillig Corporation in Hayward, CA. With the exception of a small number of buses built in a 3-year long joint venture with Neoplan from 1977 to 1979, this was Gillig's first transit bus.
The first Phantoms were 35 feet long and 96 inches wide, however 30 and 40-foot models were offered beginning in 1981, and 102-inch wide models became available in 1983. After 2005, Gillig only produced the Phantom in the 102-inch wide version due to stricter emissions and accessibility requirements.
A school bus version was also produced from 1986 to 1993. A liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled version was produced beginning in 1992, but has since been discontinued. A diesel-electric hybrid powered version was produced beginning in 2001, but was discontinued in 2006. The 96" wide version was discontinued in 2005.
Gillig Phantoms were available with single or dual headlight options, with most agencies ordering the more common dual headlight model. A notable operator of single-headlight Gillig Phantoms was Foothill Transit, and a number of ex-Foothill Transit Phantoms have ended up secondhand in the fleets of other operators.
The Gillig Phantom has been discontinued as of September 2008, with Gillig focusing on promoting its Advantage low-floor products instead.
