LOW-FLOOR VEHICLES ARE THE SMART CHOICE
Low-floor shuttles and vans are a worthwhile addition to your Boston fleet. Here’s why they stand out:
- Easy entry and exit: Many low-floor vehicle ramps are practically flat at curb height, making egress and ingress simple for all riders.
- Time savings: Everyone boards or disembarks rapidly with ramps that unfold in seconds, keeping you on time and maintaining interior comfort.
- Wheelchair-forward placement: Foster a more inclusive passenger experience with wheelchair positions near the front, aiding sightlines and communication with the driver.
- Manual ramp: Quick and simple to operate, fold-out ramps are easier to maintain than motorized lifts and need to be used only once per stop.
- Passenger autonomy: All passengers use the same entry point, removing the anxiety some people encounter when using a lift.
Low-floor buses and vans are a great fit for various applications, including tour buses, airport transfers, senior communities, resort and casino transport, and more. Ready to go low-floor? See what you should keep in mind before you buy.


WHAT TO THINK ABOUT WHEN BUYING A LOW-FLOOR BUS OR VAN IN Boston
Whether you’re running guests to the airport or taking residents to healthcare appointments, Model 1 can help you identify a low-floor vehicle perfect for your application. Here are some of the primary considerations:
- Capacity: If you require space for several wheelchairs and want fewer trips, a larger shuttle is recommended. If ADA seating isn’t required for all trips and multiple trips are expected, a smaller vehicle might be a wiser choice.
- Financing: Low-floor buses and vans should make life easier for passengers without stretching your budget. The financing team at Model 1 can provide purchasing, leasing, and rental options for your financial situation.
- Environment: More compact low-floor vans and minivans give you the maneuverability you need and the fuel savings you want for city streets.
- Daily route (Duty Cycle): Your daily route is crucial for finding the proper vehicle size. Consider factors such as roadways, trip frequency, and distance.
- Vehicle longevity: The standard lifespan of a new, light-duty vehicle is around 150,000 to 200,000 miles or 7-12 years. In order to reach these numbers, you must have a maintenance plan in place.
