School bus routes come in all shapes and sizes: short and hilly, long and bumpy or all of the above. The Saf-T-Liner® HDX from Thomas Built Buses is built to handle them all. This model is designed to keep drivers comfortable, with features like standard tilt and telescoping steering wheel and optional adjustable pedals. It offers a pleasant ride for up to 84 passengers with air conditioning, coach-style seating and heavy-duty shock absorbers.
