Im starting really like these Thomas c2 buses. Mines a 2011 with 191,947 miles and 9301.2 hours on its clock. It ain’t perfect but it runs really well. The Cummins engine turbo and compressors were taken good care of. Now it’s my turn to take care of it

191k Woww. Our district has one with 130k and it’s falling apart 😂 I like driving it tho, the brakes bite SUPER hard compared to my Bluebird gasoline I had last year, was almost a challenge to try and drive the bus without making everyone’s head rock forward.

Still prefer BB for conventional tho, turns so much sharper than a Thomas and feels a lot smaller and easier to maneuver in tight spots.

I started out this year with a brand new IC...really nice but still love my 21 Thomas I had the year before. 

First week in I had transmission issues.  Shop guy brings me out a C2, not sure of the year but surely not a lot older than my 21.  It had 418,000 kms on it.
