Typically, buses are high-mileage vehicles that are constantly shuttling people from Point A to Point B, and for this reason alone, owners must pay extra attention to their bus’s maintenance needs and overall condition.

• Regular inspection of hand rails to ensure they are not loose should be conducted because of the daily use and strain they endure. Interior lights, windows, and seats should be checked often as well, due to their constant use.
• A walk-around of the bus before starting a shift can identify potential problems that may take your bus out of commission unexpectedly.
• By being aware of your bus’s condition, keeping it clean, and regularly inspecting its critical systems, you can keep your workhorse operating for years to come with minimal problems.

Regular maintenance of your new or used bus benefits your budget and your end users. Overlooking small problems create major problems down the road, which can put your bus out of service and require a bigger investment to repair.
