@@carolinameck it’s a learning curve, takes time to get used to that feature, I learned it drive a 2020 C2 basic model and I had to learn the exhaust brake feature
I saw it parked back at the school 2 days ago, I’m not too sure right now if it needs more miles before it can fully be retired or if the 24/25 school year is its last year in service for good.
Look whos back
Nice bus walkthrough.
It’s a nice bus I’m surprised they didn’t give you all the interstellar park switch but instead went back to the traditional park brake knob.
I drove a 2024 72 Passenger Thomas C2 with the exhaust brake and a/c, best feature to have without downshifting the transmission to slow down
@@roxfire23 most drivers in our area don’t even know how to use it to be honest. They keep they foot on the brake when they’re not supposed

we need a POV drive one day of this bus, if possible. WITH engine brake ON. :)

Thomas released their new school bus it shares the same design as the freightliner M2 plus

NC doing there big one
Drove for nc years ago now they have a/c and power doors my a/c was running with the windows open and sweating

How come they didn’t change the dashboard on it
@@ElijahBryant2202 not too sure, they might do the updated dashboard when the revamped c2 comes in 2026 or 2027.
