OneBus is redefining public transportation with a modern, "right-sized" transit solution tailored for fixed-route, on-demand, and shuttle services. Our innovative 29-foot, low-floor, transit bus is modular and ADA-compliant, seats 31 passengers, and delivers unmatched operational efficiency. Customers can choose between a highly efficient gasoline-hybrid configuration for maximum fuel economy using traditional fuel or an all-electric platform for zero-emission operations. Integrated with a cloud-based, API-enabled network platform, OneBus enhances transit service connectivity, optimizes fleet operations, and drives down capital and operating costs. Built on decades of experience and trusted partnerships, OneBus combines innovative systems with proven components and a streamlined manufacturing approach to provide buses at a fraction of the cost of traditional models.
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Capability – The current US transit bus market is dominated by few suppliers producing highly customized, expensive, outdated vehicles with extremely long lead times.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 Heavy-Duty 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.
