Key Advantages
Why Choose
the MB-II
for Your Activity Program
for Your Activity Program
The most maneuverable Type A activity bus on the market with industry-first accessibility that no comparable vehicle can match.
Built to Last
One-piece galvanized steel roof bows and aluminum side body panels deliver a structure engineered for rollover protection, longevity, and low repair costs.
Wide oval body
The wide oval cabin design allows for 34″ seating with a 14″ aisle width, providing more space per passenger than any other Type A in its class. And its aerodynamic profile allows for better fuel economy.
Accessibility without the footprint
The MB-II is the only single rear-wheel bus on the market with a wheelchair lift. Full CSA D4 compliance in a vehicle that fits anywhere a standard van does. No other activity bus in this class can say the same.
Built for city routes
Urban streets, tight parking lots, narrow community centre driveways: the MB-II’s single rear-wheel platform makes it the most maneuverable Type A activity bus available. Built for the environments most buses can’t handle.
Purpose-built safety, not an afterthought
You’re not upfitting a van. The MB-II is built from the ground up to school bus safety standards: galvanized steel structure, heavy-gauge side barriers, and More-View™ visibility. The safest way to move your group.
