Activity bus boasts all-steel body, roof crash rails for rollover protection
MyBus is the newest Type A unit from Thomas Built Buses. The multi-function school activity bus is designed to fill the transportation needs of child care and activity centers, churches, service organizations and small businesses.
MyBus was built to be easy to maintain and durable enough to withstand the rigors of transporting children and adults. It features a full-height (73 inches of interior headroom), outward-opening entrance door and a wide aisle to allow easy access for passengers.
Moreover, the bus’ all-steel safety cage body construction and two roof crash rails offer added passenger and rollover protection. The interior features automotive-style gauges and driver controls.
MyBus is available in three models: the SRW (pictured), the DRW 041 and the DRW 051. The SRW features single rear wheels and is the same width as a passenger van for easy around-town trips. It can accommodate up to 14 passengers. The DRW 041 features dual rear wheels and optional coach seating for up to 20 passengers. The DRW 051 is also equipped with dual rear wheels and offers optional coach seating. It can seat up to 30 passengers.
Each model features thermal and waterproof insulation; dash and rear air conditioning and heat; interior dome lights; daytime running lights and LED exterior marker and clearance lamps; a backup alarm and lights; and a rear door interlock system.
