About our Bus
The Bridge bus is a 2017 Ford Starlite Transit 14 Passenger Bus. It was donated by Midwest Transit Equipment of Kankakee in 2018. Our bus comes complete with AC for those hot September days and heat for all the other months, seatbelts for all passengers, a nifty back-up camera, CD/AM/FM radio and a super fun button to open and close the main passenger door. Want to see it in person before committing? Let us know!
