Buses in My Home District
The following are a list of buses and specifictions for my districts buses. For mine and others safety, I'm not listing the district's name or location. The following information may not be completely accurate due to the fact that I haven't been able to go to the bus yard often.
*Notes:
All buses have Thomas Built Buses bodies except a few retired '85's...
All buses also have air brakes unless it is a Minotour.
Buses with the eight light system also always have stop arms.
ex-1985:
(85-13? - 85-19?) Ford Conventionals with the four light system. 65 pass. Green interiors. 8.2 Detroit Diesel Engines (my bus was one of these). However, #85-15 was kept and converted into the band bus. The photos of it should be up soon.
(85-5 - 85-6) Saf-T-Liner ERs with the four light system. 84 pass? Green interiors. Side exit door. PA system. Air operated doors.
(3-85) Blue Bird All American RE with the four light system. Tan interior. Side exit door. Not much else is known about this bus. Supposedly this bus was bought new from another district that couldn't pay for them. This bus was bought with 1-85 and 2-85 which were sold off before 3-85. I once tried to buy it. 3-85 was sold off with 85-5 and 85-6 with a few other conventionals a year before the others (with mine) were sold.
