Does anyone know if AAFE's are coming with pass through luggage bays now?, because all of them are in the style of pass through but Im not sure if they are. Any info appreciated.

Because of the exhaust system and driveshaft I do not see how a front engine bus could have "pass through" luggage bays. Or maybe when you say "pass through" you mean something other than what I am picturing?

Operating; Seven T444Es, One MaxxForce 7, One VT365, Four DT466s, One E-450 6.0 and one Mercedes in a C2.

Kodie,

Any FE's style buses weather it’s Blue Bird, IC or Thomas would not be able to have the pass through luggage on that type of bus, due to the driveline to the rear wheels.
Now if it is a RE bus, then you would be able to have the pass through luggage.

Hope that helps?

There's nothing to clarify Kodie - you can't have pass-through luggage bays on a front engine bus. The driveshaft and exhaust system are in the way.
