Can't believe you still have 95s in service! 😍😍😍😍 Just looking at them and hearing them purr takes me right back to my elementary school days, I lived in Columbia County, FL and my regular bus was in that era, numbered D56...I miss that bus, it was fairly new at the time and just a beauty to behold...😊

Thanks for sharing the startup video, the 95 internationals were favorite brought back memories of when I use to drive school bus in 96 when they were one year old only difference is ours were all manual transmission buses with 5 speeds and 7 speeds and air brakes, and mostly DT 466 or the 444E engines They where fun to drive

I live in an IC bus. I wouldn't have a blue bird, their customer service is beyond uncaring, after the school district gets rid of it, blu bird couldn't care less about the 2nd owner of their product. I'd go with either IC or Thomas, their products are better built anyways.

Our school used to have those 95 Bluebird's with the T44E. There were 3 of them bus numbers 3, 5, and 8. 5 was the first one to get retired. They kept 3 and 8 for some time. 8 is retired. 3 I last saw sitting near a gas station, so I'm not sure if the driver accidentally filled it with unleaded and not diesel or something else happened to the bus. The only problem with those busses is that they didn't soundproof the bus well like everyone couldn't talk so loud or else the whole bus echos. The school busses here are mostly C2's but they have some new or newer Bluebird's.

How come some of your 2008-2012 visions do a second gauge check. I’ve really never seen that before on the other ones. We had 8 2005 visions in Levittown ny with the cat c7 and they were a pure pain in the ass to us. We had to retire them early and replace them with Thomas EFXS from 2013-2015. We have about 13 EFXS now and the drivers love them. Those visions were only like 7 years old. They had always had starting problems and were in and out of the shop. They used the original starter I believe

Had a friend who drove for a district that had both and he was saying more of the hydraulic brakes was failing more then the air brakes. Such was brake pedal going to the floor, feels like brakes was going out, parking brake cable snapping, etc. Air brakes buses rarely had a problems with their brakes, I drove more buses with air brakes so I would prefer them over the squishy brakes lol. I have driven the swishy brakes buses a few times and wouldn’t be my first choice (and a I had the parking brake cable snap on me when I was setting it to park as well).
