This might be the best fleet ever!

Being a former school bus driver I'm nearly 40 years I like the doors the way they are that way a child won't be caught in them he doors closed individually not all together where they could trap a child or a student

Our school used to have 3 of those busses. They were hydraulic brakes not air brakes. Those busses are sadly retired.

Ico sensor right side valve cover behind the dog house

Awesome vid! The buses sure love honking

The last real school bus Thomas made was the fs65. Them c2 are b8g vans eww lol

Another International shit design.

2:52 my childhood gauge sweep and startup

Now that I saw IC and what they did Bluebird is my bus of choice. Always grew up with BB and I love them. These birds and amazing.

06:55 so #95 was junked due to an EPA grant? Sad, that old DT466 on those older buses, they will out last the new garbage by triple..... I will dig for the "last video" on #95

03:09 why don't the driver's actually check the oil on their pre-trip, they are suppose to here, but some don't and we have lost several engines due to no oil, at least on the older ones they would die, or not start, if they was too low on oil... this saved lots of the old T444E engines thanks to the old HEUI oil driven fuel injection...

dear god that door...

Are the 0 buses spares?

I would love for models like this to arrive in Panama. Unfortunately with that decree they have on the importation of school buses from the United States, it is complicated. I hope one day they will remove that senseless decree.

boy these kids these days have it nice lol. Im barely into my 30's and I can remember the last new buses in my school district literally only had heaters as a "luxury", got hot? slide a window down ha.

More problems with the emissions control on this bus. It is much more difficult to delete the DPF, EGR, DEF/AdBlue-SCR, and much more difficult to delete the catalytic converter. Our tax dollars will be buying those new buses frequently because the School Bus companies don't want to deal with the diesel emissions problems.

tbh usa needs to just get some toyota coaster like in jamaica even the older ones still have fully automatic doors( and can ve easily added bcz the automatic system is a machine automatically retracting its arms to open and close the door) and passenger heater and ac for every single row(each row has 4 ac vents) instead of these uncomfortable cheaply made buses

The schools over here use older CEs I think about 2000- 2010 somewhere in that area IDRK much about school busses

No ev buses

Those brackets may not be for a broom. I’d say it’d be great for upright mounting of shotgun and AR. That’s probably a prison transport model that still had the brackets. If you rather put a broom in it that’s ok too. 😂 lol I really liked the old Thomas buses from the 70’s and 80’s and the last batch before the new cheap body style 🇺🇸

😅

My Uncle drove school buses in the 1970's the International 1700's 5-speed stick shifts, Blue Birds no air, straight bus, not this fancy stuff they have today. Back then if could not drive a stick shift, they would not hire you.

As an european i can only ask how do american companies even dare to make this piece of crap in 2025, look at an Isuzu for example...

Huh. The driver's section is set up similar to a newer International truck, but I'm surprised to see school buses don't use air brakes.

They finally updated it lol

I love the new design of the vehicle 🎉

220hp seems a bit light. I wonder how much HP those dual AC compressors draw plus probably a big alternator to power the other AC and all the lights and blowers.

How’s Bergstorm A/C do you recommend it?

Nope!! Them doors are gonna break guaranteed

I'm partial to the Bluebird. I drive a 2018 with the 6.8 V10. For an IC that looks nice. Drove a couple IC in the past an 06, 09.

The door being like that is probably a safety hazard

That foot parking brake has gotta go.

We just got new 26ft 2025 international box trucks. I hate internationals, but these things are pretty nice and they get insanely good gas mileage

My dad drove school bus for 33 years,his last bus which he got new at the time had radio,no ac,5 speed manual,no power steering and the driver,s wasn,t allowed to drink anything while driving so there was no cup holders.A big change to now,,that was 1969.

The door set up is weird

Cool bus!👍🚍🚌

Its 2024, you thought that they'd be giving a different way of closing the door, but no...

The startup beeper sounds almost similar to a 2005 to 2008 ce

Idk why people dislike the sequence door closing rather than closing at the same time? Have you seen those videos of students being dragged on the road by their backpack because the doors closed on them? This helps remedy that

Nice bus, I am continuing to look for a reverse parking video on this type. That would be cool! 😃😃

That door is very odd, I wonder if they close regularly whether you get a electric door or air door

i'll admit, i love International's choice on the front end

I don’t like the hood redesign at all. For a box truck the redesign looks okay, but for a bus, that has rounded roofs, this is just weird. A “squared” hood with a rounded roof body, that doesn’t mix well.

The school system where I live, uses Navistar buses. Diesel power, Allison trans, heat, air conditioning, air brakes, and air ride suspension. Very nicely equipped.

Busses be lookin like Denalis now 😆

my bus dont even have one ac :(

I wish my school district in Arizona should get the 2025 CE by IC Bus

That door closing one by one instead of simultaneously
