Overview

Whether you're touring the local sights or setting out across country, the Saf-T-Liner® HDX from Thomas Built Buses was designed to make even the longest excursions feel like a quick jaunt. Heavy-duty shock absorbers take on any terrain, from mountain roads to narrow city streets, while the rear engine design keeps the ride nice and quiet for the driver. Options like coach-style seating, pass-through under body storage, overhead book racks and air conditioning add comfort for up to 54 passengers. Yet, for all the attention they pay to comfort, nothing is more important than their unwavering commitment to safety, demonstrated by their drive to meet or often exceed CMVSS.
