When I was a kid in the 90s I used to go on the thomas fs65. And I loved those buses, their sleek design and and their interior just made me love them, I now drive a 2014 Ic ce 300. I love those too
I remember when moving to North Carolina in 1997, the school buses looked different. I was used to Blue Bird buses, but I fell in love with these unique machines. North Carolina buses lack the black stripes that run horizontal down the sides. Plain, simple and yellow! That's what we do in NC! And, I had the pleasure of substitute driving for my local school district. Long live Thomas Built Buses!
The only buses we have in our district are C2s, FS-65s, and CEs. We also have some 3800s that are retired, and two old Chevys. But I'm not sure they're there anymore because it shows on Street View, but it's from 2016.
A little fun fact that ford bus that’s numbered 188 is now a activity bus in Wilkes county at north Wilkes high school I remember seeing it when we played them in basketball
My school district was the only school district in the area using Thomas Built buses when I went. My first introduction was in 1st grade, to a Saf-T-Liner ER 90 passenger powered by the venerable CAT 3208. They rode like Cadillacs compared to the older Wayne Internationals (still the 9.0L sound was awesome) and Blue Birds with gasoline engines and slowwww as molasses. The Thomases were in service well after I graduated, some seeing 20 years of service.
Because back in the day, The Department of Public Instruction voted to take them off. However, the IC buses had them until 2010, They allowed the C2s the 100 year badges, so it just an inspection thing id say.
@@JoshuaWithTheBuses School districts didn't start adopting them in large qualities until the mid 1990s. So, yeah. They were common, especially across North Carolina.

I drive a 2012 Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2. After driving an old Blue Bird this bus is like driving a Cadillac! I love it!

From the music Lean On Me By Bill withers
Fun fact they actually used it in a season 7 episode of the simpsons
0:34 I'm sorry but 151 or 173. I can tell that the 7 and the 3 are stickers. But. Why?
I'm not really a fan of Thomas buses but I like buses
I love the ford b700 and the b-serise carpenter
There is no Carpenter.
my district has no ic buses but they have bluebird and thomas buses
My district has those at 2:04.
Nice vid....where did you find that mini?
Nice vid! But in NC, why is there no Thomas logo under the first passenger window on the buses?

Thanks! I was wondering about that
The models I like from Thomas is the FS-65 and c2 (freightliner m2)
thomas vista all day long 0:41
Those buses look ugly in my opinion, yes nostalgic but I just hate the design.
Long time ago it was A Cart with Horses pulling it
In oldest school transportion
Wow the first bus has my bus number
The Thomas Vistas - the stub nosed buses - are INCREDIBLY ugly in my opinion.
LOL I AGREE! that's just soo sad I wish they were less ugly
+Chris Scaturo: ...and bumpy! I've been on older buses (which are now at least 20 years old!) and they're less bumpy.
Those buses aren't the best or worst in my opinion.
The Safety liners they make are amazing I ride one
I think the mini is from Canada, I saw some French writing under Emergency Exit.
Thanks, it didnt take much to do cause i had alot
nice i live down here in north carlina
Cobie French nice! what county

North Carolina do not have any EFX's in any fleet unfortunately. Pushers are long gone, and very little to find, if any of them are running.

Thomas vista
The Thomas Vista was a bus that was built from 1989 to 1996. The had the International 3600
@@JoshuaWithTheBuses The Thomas Vista was one of the rarest school bus models ever to be manufactured. They actually lasted until 1998.
@@alexlautzenheiser5024 No, it wasn't. It was 1989 to 1998. They were insanely common.
