I know the GAWR of my bus is 30000. What is the empty weight of a standard 72 passenger bus? Thanks, Dave |

My 1995 International/Thomas weighed in at around 19,000 pounds empty |

The Thomas/Freightliner 72pax I drive at work (according to the registration) is 28,999 lbs GVWR, 18,070 empty. |

Empty weight for a 2004 IC CE-300, DT466, hydraulic brakes, 71 passenger = 15,703.
This number is posted on the side of the bus, near the door, which I believe is an IL state requirement. |

Geez that is a heck of a difference! No wonder the Thomas I drove always seemed more solid and tank-like than the IC's! I wish I would have weighed my Carpenter. |

Well, I think my Thomas also has a few more options than the bus Bob is referring to |

I wish I remembered how much my 96 AmTran RE 72 pas. weighed, but I really don't think it was that much less than the 84. Only a four foot diff. |

Best way to tell is the Manufacturers Statement of Origin...which comes with all new vehicles. I don't beleive the figure on there includes fuel, so add about 600-700 lbs if it has a 100 gallon tank.
