WARWICK, N.Y. — Trans Tech has tapped Capital City Bus Sales to be its exclusive dealer for sales and service of its full line of Type A school buses in the state of Michigan.
“We are excited to welcome Capital City Bus Sales to our growing network of dealerships to provide sales and support of Trans Tech’s entire line of industry-leading Type A school buses in the state of Michigan,” said Trans Tech President John Phraner. “Capital City Bus Sales’ dedication to its customers is unparalleled and perfectly aligned with our own philosophy of providing school buses that are built to last, fuel efficient and, most importantly, safe.”
Capital City Bus Sales will sell and support Trans Tech’s entire lineup of Type A school buses, Multifunction School Activity Buses and commercial buses from its main facility in Lansing, Michigan.
