The Flyer New Look bus was a line of transit buses built by Western Flyer and its successors Flyer Industries and New Flyer, of Canada, between 1967 and 1987. They were three generations within a model grouping and, except for brief overlap during transition from one generation to the next, were not in production concurrently. All individual model designations included a prefix of either D, for diesel propulsion, or E, for electrically powered trolleybuses. The introductory model was the D700, originally released in 1967 for the Canadian transit market, and the last series group to be produced, D900 (and variant D901), was discontinued in 1987. Flyer had become New Flyer only the year before, in 1986.

Bedford is a rural town in the centre of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It was established in the mid-19th century when Sir Andries Stockenstroom sold portions of land from his farm Maastroom to raise funds for the restoration of his library, which had been burnt by British soldiers mistrustful of his attempts to broker peace in one of the Cape Frontier Wars. The farm is still there and open for visitors. It is located on the southern edge of the Winterberg mountain range, in the Smaldeel (a narrow strip of grass land running laterally from Fort Beaufort to Somerset East, renowned for its sweet grass). The town suffered a major decline in fortunes in the latter half of the 20th century before reviving itself around the turn of the millennium. It is regarded today as an artist's haven and retirement village. The lack of industry in the town, while a boon to those hoping to escape the rat race, means that the town has a large unemployment rate. The woes of the poor are exacerbated by a high HIV-AIDS infection rate. The Bedford Provincial Hospital is situated in Maitland Street, three blocks northwest of the town's centre. Most tourists visit Bedford to experience true South African farm living.

The introductory model was the D700, originally released in 1967 for the Canadian transit market, and the last series group to be produced, D900 (and variant D901), was discontinued in 1987. Flyer had become New Flyer only the year before, in 1986. The D700 was the first transit bus released by Western Flyer, which had only manufactured suburban over-the-road coaches until then. It closely resembled the contemporaneous and popular GM New Look bus, including the multi-pane "fishbowl"-style windshield. The D700 was subsequently licensed to AM General in 1970 for sales to American transit operators; AM General modified the exterior design and sold it as the AM General Metropolitan starting in 1974. Flyer later adopted the exterior changes made by AM General and sold the bus as the D800 and E800. The D900 was the second and final facelift of the design, and is distinguished by the simpler windshield. Versions of each generation were also available in both diesel and trolleybus form.
