Yeah I was kinda hoping for the 3rd gen but these 2nd gens are going to be out of production soon so I am grateful for our 2nd gens! Our 2024s are going to be the last diesel buses that my school will be getting from what our mechanics said. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the comment! I love the specs on it. The dash A/C looks super cool. Also, sorry if your comment got removed! I dont know why YT keeps flagging the wrong comments...
@@southernbustransportation so maybe I’ll beat able to get a video of my districts 2024 ic CEs (I’m going to look at my districts bus lot soon). I’ll definitely upload some videos of buses I already have.
Good question! I am not too sure but I suppose its because of how the district wanted their specs to be. Would be a cool feature if it had a backup camera though! Would be great for training drivers.
Thanks for the suggestion! Next time I visit the bus shop I will ask. They just parked the 2024 in it's new parking spot which means it's not in service 👍
Thats what I was thinking when they came in! I was hoping it was going to be similar to a nearby county (cullman) which had WAAAAY nicer specs (black windows w/ black window posts, new school bus sign, stop sign, etc) but we sadly got one of those newer buses that has been sitting in a dealership lot for a while. Though, I am sure we are going to get the nicer-spec CEs once we get more. Thanks for the comment!
Actually we are keeping all our EFs even when this 2024 goes in service! 24-16 replaced one of the unreliable 2013 CEs that my district used to have (13-16) because of engine problems. Thanks for the comment!
Not too sure but I think this our first o2coolmfg-equipped bus. Im going to do some research on these AC units but I think it comes down to what the dealership ordered. Thanks for the comment!
I was hoping for a 3rd gen but this bus was in the dealerships lot for a while. I think 3rd gens will start being more available in 2025 if that's right. Thanks for the comment!
I think I am getting a new camera for Christmas so I can improve my video quality. These Motorola phones have the most disappointing audio quality after a while haha I usually just remove my phone case to get better audio intake but I do need a actual camera that I can use for filming. Thanks for the comment!
I love the shine on the bus, it makes it look gold
Me too! The paint looks really good.
Me three I use to ride this bus and all my friends to and going on the field trip
Wow, very shiny I can say, This is very awesome.
Thanks for the comment! 24-16 is a very beautiful bus. Cant wait to see it in service!
That is one beautiful bus!
Clean & mean! 👍
Nice! I think it's a B6.7 Cummins engine
I thought this was the 3rd generation that was coming 😭but it's still a nice bus.
That’s the 2025 model year

Back to air stop arms! lets go!
Back in business!!! 😎
Oooh
Nice bus. No busboy mirrors? My district’s 2024 ic CEs have ac as well and I love them. (My last comment got removed).

@@charlesrodriguez7984 Awesome!
@@southernbustransportation what do you think about the new ic CE redesign though?
2416 looks beautiful
I agree! I just wished it would have a yellow handrail like our 2023s but AC is the way to go! :)
@@southernbustransportation yes indeed
One question why dont they have backup camera on these buses

It seems y’all’s and my district get our buses from the same place Tulsa bus plant
Thats cool! The Tulsa plant used to be where they made bomber planes during WW2 (just a little fun fact!)
@@southernbustransportationcool
Dang I see a child check mate system! By chance could you do a demo on that?
Thanks for the suggestion! Next time I visit the bus shop I will ask. They just parked the 2024 in it's new parking spot which means it's not in service 👍
It is the EP1 system, which means there ain’t a speaker. If you upgraded to a EP2 TTK, you can a speaker.
If that a 2024 where is the new school bus sign and new stop arm

Is that bus replace one of those thomas efs

Oh wait is that finally one of y’all’s first regular buses with AC or I’m just seeing things
Yep! First regular bus with AC to the fleet 👍
@@southernbustransportationhey my district got a 2024 with ac too
@@southernbustransportationcool ours have ac as well but we don’t have the ac thing under the dash I didn’t even kno that part was a option 😭
o2coolmfg replaced ProAir?
Not too sure but I think this our first o2coolmfg-equipped bus. Im going to do some research on these AC units but I think it comes down to what the dealership ordered.

I tought 2024 was the 3rd Gen

Thanks for the comment!
yet it being a 2024, still no screen and uses a radio from a older car.
True. Maybe someday buses will get screens but time will tell!
Can you get a better mic?

Why dont you just get a better phone?@@southernbustransportation
I called the company and they said it’s a 2023 school bus not a 2024
Thanks for letting me know!
It’s a 2024. Year code in the VIN is R.
@@2005dave no it’s not
