Featured Bus

 

Our featured bus is the Thomas Saf-T-Liner® EFX. Seating for up to 78 passengers and a wider loading aisle make this bus ready for whatever the school year brings.

The flat front with an expansive windshield offers incredible visibility, enhancing safety while driving and when loading children.

The Saf-T-Liner® EFX is a front engine, transit-style bus that is multipurpose and an excellent value. Plus, the engine cover allows for quick, easy and tool-free access to the engine, fluids and belts, keeping routine maintenance time to a minimum. So, if you want comfort and efficiency, the sleek, versatile EFX is an ideal choice.
