The Optare Rapta was an integral double-decker bus that was launched at the Euro Bus Expo on 4 November 2008. It was one of the first of the new Optare model range to have the new family look, the other of which is the new Solo+ (since removed from Optare's online list of products). The Rapta is the first new Optare-designed double-decker bus since the Spectra in 1997 that was discontinued in 2005.
