| | 72 pass--Is 34 feet, 84 pass----Is 39 feet. I would say a 90 pass---is 41 feet. Because you only add two seats` One on each side.I am thinking that a 78 Pass--is 37 feet. That would be a good question for the shop guys. The 72 and the 84 i learned from school bus roadeos.

| | This pic might help out. I found it with all of the owners manuals and a few other papers with the specs on my bus. According to this sheet, my 77 pass Freightliner Thomas is overall 470" long or 39.166 ft long, and the spec sheet for our 65 pass Thomas Freightliner has an overall length of 422.8" or 35.233ft. Hope this helps

| | lol! I think our 78 pax buses are around 37 feet, (on the AmTran NOT IC's it says it on the white sticker above the drivers where it also says weight and height, I may be wrong) Our TC 2000's that are 78 pax are 39 feet, and our 84 pax buses are over 40 si i am told.

| | A 90 passenger bus should be about 40 feet long. I know this won't be leagal for student transportation, but I wonder what an articulated type d style bus would look like. That would be pretty interesting to see.

For a 65 passenger conventional school bus, use the following dimensions for design vehicle: length = 408"; width = 96"; wheelbase = 254"; outer radius = 37'-07"; inner radius = 27'-00".
If you order a bus with extended knee room your length could be the same as a bus with more passenger capacity. For example on a type D bus in our district it is 35ft in length and 72 passenger(non extended knee room) where as a 66 passenger bus with extended knee room is 35ft in length.
