Meet the Bus

Everyone understands the need to do what they can to make the world a greener place. Schools are figuring out how to do their part. And IC Bus is leading the sustainability charge by being the first bus manufacturer to offer a hybrid school bus. The next time you see a yellow school bus, ask yourself if it’s green. If it’s an IC Bus™ hybrid school bus, you’ll know it is.
