OneBus is redefining public transportation with a modern, "right-sized" clean transit solution tailored for fixed-route, on-demand, and shuttle services. Our innovative 29-foot, low-floor, all-electric transit bus is modular and ADA-compliant, seats 30 passengers, and offers unmatched operational efficiency. Integrated with a cloud-based, API-enabled network platform, OneBus enhances transit service connectivity, optimizes fleet operations, and achieves environmental goals. We’ve built upon decades of experience and relationships to design-in a combination of innovative systems and proven off-the-shelf components alongside a streamlined product manufacturing approach to provide buses at a fraction of the capital and operating cost of traditional buses.
The Problem
The transit industry faces significant challenges:
- Underutilized Vehicles – 40-foot buses designed for 40-60 passengers that serve only seven passengers on average, leading to excessive capital costs, energy consumption, and operating inefficiencies.
- Limited, Extremely Expensive Domestic Bus Manufacturing Capability – The current US transit bus market is dominated by few suppliers producing highly customized, expensive, outdated vehicles with extremely long lead times.
- Safety Issues Inside and Out – A notable increase in safety incidents involving transit drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists that are difficult to address with incumbent vehicle designs.
The Solution
OneBus is revolutionizing the market with:
- A Modular, Right-Sized Electric Bus – Smaller transit vehicles able to serve the vast majority of passenger demand but can be combined for peak ridership needs.
- Next-Generation Vehicle Design – An entirely new lightweight, heavy-duty, low-floor design with advanced safety, comfort, and manufacturing innovations.
- Class Leading Driver and Passenger Safety – Reimagined drivers workplace ergonomics, visibility, and advanced driver assist features combined with unmatched maneuverability.
- Smart Connectivity & Efficiency – Innovative steering and braking control systems, modern coupling technology, robust real-time cloud-based data network, and a dynamic software platform for improved operational and mobility performance and significantly reduce on-bus equipment and subscription costs.
