L.u.c.k.y !!!! iv always wanted to drive a flat nose school bus, i might wanna start out with a smaller flat nose, blue bird made small flat nose buses, i sat in one , i love em !!!! like this one, except the one i sat in, was owned by the navy, it was at an air show. identical, excpet blue and white paint job. inside was pretty stock too. also, fun fact, these are a cab over motor, not a fear motor set us.
I was offered a newer bus(conventional) by the school system earlier this year but I said...."no." Like those snubs! I thought that bus looked extra long in my pics, just counted the side windows, it has 2 extra windows per side than my bus.
GOOD JOB !!! .......... the district i live in has one flat nose bus, and its about dead. all the others i see are these. . . . .supposedly i heard there hybrids ?? i wish just once i would see one of these (below) on the road with a bunch of kids screaming out the windows it would make my day !!!
Look at that big curved one piece windshield on that new bus, bet it would cost a small fortune to replace! Don't know of any hybrid school buses out there, ours are all regular turbo diesels. That is except for one short bus that has a 400ci Chevy gas engine in it.
i bet !!! and i didnt really think they made hybrid busses either, but i wasnt sure, also, would you happen to know what engine the short blue bird bus has, the one i posted ? or do you happen to know a specific name for them ??
