We don't have too many spares,and here's the list of them:97-15 Thomas MVP-ER 1997 in service as a spare because the county can't afford to run it. 90-17/90-18 Taken out of regular service this year.Ward/GMC Conv.
92-5 No idea why they took it out of regular
service.Thomas/International 3800 Conv.
87-6 Has been sitting in a corner of the yard
for at least two years.Thomas/Chevy Conv.
87-4 Band Bus
91-26 Backup Wheelchair Mini
V-1 Carpenter/Chevy Van Mini.No need for it.
V-2 Same as above
94-20 Route was deleted and rerouted to other buses.
96-9 Used instead of 97-15
97-15 Can be used as a spare for the other three transit-style buses.

217- 1995 GMC BB
218- 1995 GMC BB
219- 1997 GMC BB

220 was orginally a regular run bus this year, it was number 202, then old 37 (2000 All Amer. BB) replaced it.

Our district has 22 buses currently in daily use. The 11 spare buses are seldom used, but they're in good shape and pass state inspection. The oldest spare buses are the 84-passenger 1984 Blue Bird All Americans. These buses are only used on routes, and hardly ever go out of town. I'll be using one of these spares on a route next week... Bus #35, which is the same bus I rode to school on from 3rd grade until I got my car in high school. Talk about bringing back memories! It's hard to generalize the condition of a bus just by its age alone. It usually depends on how well the bus has been treated.
