Please be more specific. There are thousands of things that must be in place for a bus to be in service. |

That picture of the C2 is from my website taken by Ted Pelky and the Vision picture taken by Jeff Flatt. Since you did not ask me permission to use them I would appreciate it if you took them off of your signature. Thank you. |

Well with our district the busses are all the same seating capacity so that factor is out. Last time I asked, our mechanic looked at how many miles a day you drive, the conditions of the roads you drive on, and how well you take care of your bus. And this is the order in which he went by. |

I look at age, condition, and driver preference. I have a driver who loves his 92 Bluebird and he has an extremely long route. Normally I would put a newer bus on a route his length, but since it's a good bus and he likes it, I let him keep it.
I also look at how well a driver takes care of their bus. If they want a newer one, they need to take care of their current one. |
