Saf-T-Liner® EFX – School

Greater seating capacity for denser routes.

Saf-T-Liner® EFX - Carolina Thomas When it comes to our schools, every efficiency counts. That’s why Thomas built so many into the updated Saf-T-Liner® EFX. Seating for up to 90 passengers and a wider loading aisle make this bus ready for whatever the school year brings. The cockpit is designed for driver comfort and safety with ample legroom and optimized access to controls. Plus, the engine cover allows for quick, easy and tool-free access to the engine, fluids and belts, keeping routine maintenance time to a minimum. The Saf-T-Liner® EFX is a front-engine, transit-style bus that is versatile and an excellent value. Thomas Built listens to drivers, mechanics and customers to help them develop the best buses on the road. And with Carolina Thomas, there’s always support nearby when you need it.
