Access, Insulation, And Comfort Features That Your New Bus May Contain

by Earl Burton

An auto dealer who features a fleet of used passenger buses can help you select a vehicle that is suitable to transport a youth group, retirees, or corporate board members. Passenger buses come equipped with features that are designed to accommodate handicapped and non-handicapped riders. Take these things into account when looking at used passenger buses for sale.

Passenger And Cargo Access

A standard bus model contains steps, a narrow walkway, and row seating. This type of bus may not be well-suited for some passengers who have special needs. A bus model that contains a motorized ramp and self leveling floor will accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

A suspended floor is a lowered floor style. Due to the modified style of a suspended floor, a bus that contains this type of flooring will typically not require the use of stairs. An automatic cargo lift and passenger lift are two safety aids that may be featured with a standard bus style. Either type of lift may contain a hydraulic motor. Review the weight restrictions of each lift that used bus models at a dealership contain.

Insulation And Comfort Aids

Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air. The frequency of the waves will determine the intensity of an audible sound. Open and closed cell foam products are insulators that will buffer sounds. An insulating material, such as a polyurethane foam product, will also provide moisture protection and increase thermal properties.

Since most modern buses come equipped with an air conditioning unit and heater, you may want to ensure that the bus that you invest in will contain an insulating material that will effectively reduce outside traffic noises and regulate the interior temperature that your riders will experience.

Vinyl is a preferred upholstery material, due to its tendency to look similar to leather, but not cost as much money. If your passengers will not be restricted from eating or drinking on the bus that you purchase, shying away from fabric seating materials that could become stained may be your best bet. Shock absorbers, cushioned headrests, armrests, and full-tilt seating are some comfort features that a high end bus may contain.

A dealer may advertise many bus styles. Plan on entering several vehicles and walking through them. SIt down in the driver's seat and various passengers seats, to help you select a bus. Take each bus for a test run. A dealer may allow you to drive each bus, plus be transported by the dealer.
