Transit Agency Buses for Sale: Product Guide Part II

Much has happened over the last half-decade in the world of transit buses. Todays bus models are more lightweight and maneuverable than their bulkier predecessors. Increased efficiency, flexible seating plans, and better storage options are just a few amenities offered. These three exciting models to discuss have much to offer the transit provider and rider.

Small Bus, Many Features

Aerolite models might be small but have many big features to offer, like an additional six inches of headroom compared to traditional passenger vans. An innovative cutaway design makes passengers feel less confined and tinted glass increases rider’s comfort from harsh sunlight.

Different floor plans to accommodate up to 14 passengers are available for the nineteen, twenty and twenty-one foot models. Built with solid, steel-reinforced construction, testing showed superior resistance to side and rear impact including a composite that resists rust and corrosion.
