The reason as to why this School Bus was decommissioned so early in it’s life and is being auctioned off this soon should give you an idea as to how flimsy the 3 remaining body builders (Blue Bird, Thomas; and Ward/AmTran/IC) and the handful of chassis builders now left building School Bus chassis (IH/Navistar, Freightliner; and Blue Bird’s own, proprietarily developed and built in-house chassis) have been building School Buses and their components since the early 2000’s.
