Introducing the Senator SII from StarTrans. This line of mid-size buses has been designed with the needs of the customer, passenger, and driver in mind. This line provides the outstanding value and the durability you have come to expect from StarTrans buses over the past twenty-five years.

The Senator SII features a galvanized steel, baked white exterior along with a new front aerodynamic fiberglass profile. It also features a new stylish rear profile which utilizes lightweight thermoplastics. In keeping with the StarTrans tradition of excellence, the Senator SII utilizes a fully welded steel cage construction to help ensure the safety, overall strength, and durability of the bus.

The Senator SII offers seating capacity up to 21 passengers on certain models. It also features a spacious aisle, large luggage racks, and plenty of headroom for passenger safety and comfort. And these are just some of the features and benefits of the Senator SII.

Underneath the Senator SII is the time-tested Chevrolet 610 chassis. This chassis selection provides the durability and serviceability needed to keep your new Senator SII performing at its best for years to come.

Engineering excellence and quality construction combined with rugged testing performed in Altoona, Pennsylvania, ensure the structural integrity of the Senator SII. We back our buses with a five-year, 75,000-mile body structural warranty.
