No more urgent requests for bathroom breaks when heading to a wedding in Tehachapi or a tournament in Delano—everyone can relax knowing facilities are just steps away from their seat.
Onboard TVs
Entertainment comes standard with flat-screen TVs installed throughout the cabin! Play a movie during the drive to Six Flags Magic Mountain, loop a safety video for student groups, or display custom content via DVD player or HDMI input. Multiple screens ensure everyone has a clear view whether seated up front or in back. It’s a great way to pass the time on longer rides or share important information before arrival.
Power Outlets
Keep devices fully charged with multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports located throughout the bus. Passengers can plug in laptops, tablets, phones, or other electronics at their seat—perfect for business travelers preparing presentations, students finishing assignments, or anyone wanting to stream content without draining battery life. Nobody has to fight over limited plugs or arrive with a dead device.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Beat the Bakersfield heat with powerful dual-zone climate control that keeps the entire cabin cool and comfortable—even during triple-digit summers. Each row features adjustable air vents so passengers can direct airflow to their liking. In winter, the system switches to heat mode for warmth on chilly mornings. Operators can set temperature preferences from a central control panel while riders fine-tune settings at their seats.
Leather Seating
Ride in comfort with plush, high-back leatherette seats that look great and feel even better. Each seat features thick foam padding, contoured support, and optional armrests for added relaxation. Upholstery is available in classic black, gray, or two-tone color schemes that complement any interior décor. Headrests provide extra cushioning while reclining mechanisms let passengers lean back and unwind during longer trips.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store personal belongings safely out of the way using spacious overhead parcel racks running the length of the cabin. These compartments are ideal for backpacks, purses, jackets, and small carry-on items. Larger luggage, coolers, or equipment cases can be stowed in the rear cargo area accessible via double doors at the back of the bus. This separation keeps aisles clear and maximizes legroom for seated passengers.
