Activity Buses - Saf-T-Liner® C2

Saf-T-Liner® C2

When searching for the right bus to transport a large group, most organizations want something safe, reliable and versatile. That’s why the Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner® C2 has been a top choice for many years. We can easily customize it to meet your specific needs, including popular features like coach-style seating, overhead roof racks, video systems and tinted windows. The C2 sets the industry standards, with outstanding maneuverability, exceptional driver ergonomics and the most visibility among all Type C buses.

You’ll notice the C2 looks different than other Type C buses. We developed this design to achieve outstanding visibility and safety. The windshield provides a panoramic view, and when combined with the low sloping hood, low instrument panel and A-pillar windows, the visibility footprint is the largest in the type C category. The C2 can be configured for 14 to 81 passengers and comes with options for traditional or alternative fueled engines. Contact your Thomas Built dealer for help selecting the perfect specifications for you.
