Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2

TBB-C2 School2

Thousands of young passengers count on you everyday to get them to school and back. Safe and sound. The Saf-T-Liner® C2 is built with these very passengers in mind. The C2 is safe. It’s reliable. And it’s innovative. We’ve revolutionized the school bus with outstanding maneuverability, state-of-the-art driver ergonomics and the most visibility among all Type C buses. And with a full-service dealer like Rohrer Bus, there’s always support nearby when you need it. That’s innovation for the sake of every kid’s commute. That’s Thomas Built Buses.

 

You may have noticed that the C2 looks different than other Type C buses. We chose this design, quite simply, because of the outstanding visibility and safety. The windshield provides a panoramic view and when combined with the low sloping hood, low instrument panel and A-pillar windows, the C2’s visibility footprint is the largest in the type C category. Plus, it offers a number of other features that enhance safety.
