GOSHEN, Ind. — Starcraft Bus reached a milestone on Jan. 3 by completing its 25,000th bus.
Creative Bus Sales, located in Chino, Calif., took delivery for Nevada RTC, allowing the school and shuttle bus manufacturer to reach the landmark number.
The bus was ordered on Oct. 7, 2011.
An award was presented by David Wright, president of Starcraft Bus and Federal Coach, to Tony Matijevich, owner and president of Creative Bus Sales, to mark the occasion.
"We are excited to have reached this milestone for our company," Wright said. "We continue to look for new ways to improve the design, engineering and quality of every shuttle bus that we produce, and we look forward to building our next 25,000 buses."
Starcraft Bus joined the shuttle bus industry in 1998 by building its first bus, the Allstar. The company later began manufacturing school buses.
