School Buses

Since the first school bus rolled off the Thomas assembly line in 1936, we've operated with one simple philosophy: build the kind of school bus that we'd want our own children to ride in. That simple idea drives the way we do business-from the way we engineer our buses to be better than the standard, to the way we train our customers to keep their buses running smoothly throughout their lifespan.

Today, Thomas Built Buses is the leading manufacturer of school buses in North America and one in every three children in America who rides a bus to school, rides a Thomas.
