WHY LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE WORTH IT
Low-floor shuttles and vans are a worthwhile addition to your Buffalo fleet. Here’s why they stand out:
- Easy entry and exit: Many low-floor vehicle ramps are nearly level at curb height, making ingress and egress effortless for all.
- Efficiency: Passengers can quickly get on or off with ramps that open in seconds, keeping you on time and helping maintain interior comfort.
- Forward wheelchair placement: Create a more inclusive environment with wheelchair spaces toward the front, enhancing sightlines and communication with the driver.
- Manual ramp: Simple and quick, manual ramps require less upkeep than motorized lifts and only have to be extended once per stop.
- Passenger autonomy: Everyone uses the same entry system, eliminating the discomfort some people encounter when boarding via a lift.
Low-floor buses and vans are a great fit for a variety of applications, including senior living communities, airport transfers, hotel or casino transport, tour buses, and more. Ready to go low-floor? See what you should think about before you purchase.
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN SELECTING A LOW-FLOOR VAN OR SHUTTLE IN Buffalo
Whether you’re ferrying guests to the airport or taking residents to healthcare appointments, Model 1 can help you find a low-floor vehicle that fits your application. A few of the key considerations include:
- Capacity: If you must have multiple wheelchair positions and want fewer trips, a larger shuttle is your best bet. If ADA seating isn’t needed for every trip and multiple trips are feasible, a smaller vehicle might make more sense.
- Financing: Low-floor vans and buses should make transport more convenient for passengers without going over your budget. Financing specialists at Model 1 can provide purchasing, rental, and leasing options to match your budget, needs, and future goals.
- Environment: More compact low-floor vans and minivans offer the maneuverability you need and the gas savings you want for city driving.
- Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your regular route is essential for determining the right vehicle size. Weigh factors such as trip frequency, distance, and roadways.
- Vehicle longevity: The standard lifespan of a new, light-duty bus or van is around 7-12 years, or 150,000 to 200,000 miles. In order to hit those benchmarks, you must consider your maintenance plan.
