Mika Jaakkola Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I know this is not " a big thing" for you in US. But I've seen this thing many times in morning rush hours in Helsinki, Finland. I really believe that this is someones daily driver!! Never seen nothing like this before in our country.What's the make of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Looks like an International Bus to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ZondaC12 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah International frame/drivterain...looks like some other coachbuilder maybe one thats based over there.Make no mistake, over here that sure doesnt happen either!!! I do occssionally see old short buses built off of Ford E-Series and Chevrolet 20 and 30 series utility vans owned by people as a daily driver or to haul stuff...but definitely not a full sized bus! Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wheelchair door - Montgomery County MD has many just like it.DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Braverman Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 For some reason, school buses never really evolved here in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And "Rossignol" figured if that was there that would be a manufacturer's name.My high school did have one with a wheelchair elevator in back like that, the bus was actually about 3/4 the length of a normal one, and white top and all.

West Peterson Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 In the U.S., or at least Ohio, you cannot use a school bus for private purposes until after the removal of the "School Bus" words and the flashing lights. I believe the swing-out "Stop" sign also has to be removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be some sort of corporate thing.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleek Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 It is an International from about the mid ninetys. It has a Ward body. The give away to the body's ID is the slanted curve on the bottom of the windshield. I do not know of another manufacturer that curved the glass. Everyone else used a rectangle shaped windshield glass as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be the case in other states as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
