My all time favorite bus, sad to see it go 😔

She sounds beautiful! I cannot get over at how amazing it sounds. My district used to have Blue Birds (A3-FE's, TC2000s, etc) but they all got replaced by IC CE's and were moved to the Junior High School's activity field. I hope I can ride a Blue Bird TC2000 one day. Anyways, this is a good video!

My School District Had Early 2000s Bluebird All-American FE's And TC2000 FE Shorty With The Wheelchair Lift They Retired Due To Age They Got Replaced By A 2017 IC CE Propane With Full LED Lighting And Dual LED Stop Arms

About a year ago I rode an 02 FS65 with about 440k miles on it. It's still in service for this year as a spare.

The body fluid clean up kit has seen better days. That front axle has quite a shimmy!

Darn, I love this bus.

We’ll miss you 26

Agreed

Edit:down to two 99s, seven 2000s , still got the 01 and 02s and down to two 03s, bus 19 (1999)failed inspection in January and is a parts bus, bus 28 (2000) came back but hasnt ran in over a year and has no inspection so probably also parts and bus 33(2003) is done. Rusted, damaged a bit, engine cover up and falling apart inside with expired inspection, we just got 3 2020 c2s (12,13,16) replacing 99 model tcs and they're almost ready but have no communications hookup yet (no radio or cameras yet,) they have inspection though so once that's set up. Then they'll probably be registered for plates !

We retire our buses at 300,000 miles or it gets too old to stay in service.

We Retired Our Buses Due To Age

That thang their Riding I love it

Good ol' TCs! Holy crap, only 92k?! Woodstock's old bus 6, a '92 TC, had over 200k on it when it was retired in late 2008. More impressively, the small bus company I work for just left the home-to-school business and the three 2011 Visions have around 190k.

That’s not many miles. Didn’t get monies worth out of that one. Lol. Hope they got a good price for it.

92 thousand miles? That’s it?

You would’ve thought this bus was retired with 150 to 200 thousand

The shift of a 5.9 with an Allison behind it is one of my favorite sounds - reminds me of the TC/2000's I rode growing up. Does this make the screech between 1st and 2nd gear? Sounds like it but hard to tell. If it does, I'd kill for an exterior clip of it.

Our school did a sealed bid on them from 300 up I bought the 91 for 350 and the rest went to Pearsall which I'm going Monday to check out what's left of them and I'm planning on buying another one with the loudest whistle lol....
