SATSUMA, Alabama -- Satsuma City Schools officials are seeking bids from vendors to buy two 2015 school buses to bolster an aging fleet. But new buses don't come cheap: Estimates range from $65,000 to $85,000, depending on how the bus is equipped. For example, buses used to transport special education students must have air conditioning.
Of they keep their buses for twenty years, however, they would only need to acquire (1000/20) 50 new buses every year. If a bus costs $500,000, then they have saved their capital budget ($500,000*33) $16,500,000 a year. In an era of transit budge starvation, that is truly significant savings.ydney, Australia, has a fleet plan that counts on a bus life expectancy of twenty-three years. Of course, buses are used for even longer in developing countries-in those countries, as long as the bus has not collapsed in a heap of metal it is good to go. Smaller Buses Can Have Useful Lives As Little As Seven Years.
