 Types of Bus UsageActivity Buses   

Schools and numerous organizations focusing on safety but not wanting to use a yellow school bus are turning to activity buses. The Federal Government's bus category titled MFSABs (Multi-Function School Activity Buses) offers an ideal solution to these needs. This type of bus includes premier safety construction but is built without the overhead warning lights and school bus stop arm. Carolina Thomas supplies activity buses with capacities ranging from 10 passenger mini-buses to 90 passenger full-size activity buses. Carolina Thomas can assist your school or organization in selecting the perfect vehicle for your unique situation.
 
In the past, the 15-passenger van was a popular form of transportation for firms needing a vehicle for activities. As The bus Professionals we are convinced that there is a better vehicle in most of these situations. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has indicated that 15-passenger vans are not to be used to transport passengers to or from a school related activity. These 15-passenger vans are considered less safe than an activity bus meeting MFSAB standards. Many states have laws prohibiting the 15-passenger van when sold for the purpose of transporting students. At Carolina Thomas, our activity buses meet or exceed the strict federal (FMVSS) guidelines for transporting these special passengers. You would not expect any less from The Bus Professionals.
 
With Carolina Thomas, you can be assured your parts and service needs will be met. From our extensive maintenance facilities and satellite service locations to our mobile parts and service vehicles, we provide the support you need to keep your bus on the road.
