More Creatively Converted Buses You’ll Have to See to Believe

Posted by American Bus Sales

It should be no secret that I’m a big fan of converted buses. I love seeing the creativity and ingenuity that people show when they turn an older school bus into a brand new vehicle with a new purchase. From the several buses I’ve seen turned into traveling homes, to mobile classrooms and art studios, there is no limit to what a school bus can become.

Every time I think I’ve found all of the coolest converted buses across the internet, I manage to find another collection of awesome new vehicles. This time, I found a collection from School Transportation News.

The Arcadia Mobile Market is a 28-foot retrofitted school bus that carries crates of fresh, local food to neighborhoods with limited channels to healthy foods and that helps promote healthy lifestyle choices. "We do this through one-on-one engagement with schoolchildren and community members about how to use local produce in cost-effective ways," she said. Arcadia is committed to providing access to sustainably and locally produced food in communities throughout the D.C. area.

Mark Dobbs is not the first to raise chickens in a school bus that doubles as a large chicken coop, and he certainly won’t be the last. The bus is used as vehicle, not a building, with the hens ranging in the pasture rather than being fed on the bus. Dobbs said this is why the bus-turned-coop has enough capacity for 250 birds.

The "Jesus Bus" has served as portable sanctuary for a local church that needed a way to hold services outside after their building burned down. It was the vision of Rev. Bryan Turner of Jacksonville, Fla., who with the help of his father-in-law, removed all of the seats, raised the roof and created removable windows and a secondary floor, under which they ran wiring to convert the bus into a soundstage.

DeSoto County (Miss.) Schools turned two of its school buses into ambulances after purchasing an easy-to-use kit, according to a district spokeswoman. During a disaster, the converted school buses can be used to evacuate hospitals or nursing homes. The Mississippi State Department of Health paid for the bus-into-ambulance kits.
