Performance
The StarTrans PS/2 bus is motivated by a standard 6.7L Cummins diesel engine, a robust performer that provides 240 horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. of torque. It’s confident and capable, ready to deliver smooth performance around the streets of Chicago with the help of its standard Allison automatic transmission. An available MORryde RL suspension system is available, designed to absorb heavy bumps on the road without disturbing passengers who are catching up on their sleep on the way to the O’Hare International Airport. In stop and go traffic, the available Telma Brake Retarder helps slow the bus down, alleviating wear on the brake lining and potentially reducing maintenance costs.
Interior
Once your guests make their way up the standard LED-illuminated stepwell, they’ll find that the 2026 Freightliner StarTrans PS/2 is fitted with available high-back reclining seats with secure three-point belts. Up to 44 passengers can relax inside the bus, with the available premier heating and A/C system keeping them comfortable whether you’re shuttling them through a sweltering Midwest summer or frigid winter. The optional moveable rear luggage wall provides extra space if customers can’t fit all of their bags in the available overhead storage racks. Drivers will appreciate the extra privacy and security offered by the available stanchion modesty panel and plexiglass shield, and can use the optional hand-held microphone to let passengers know when they’re approaching a destination such as Lincoln Park.
Safety
Safety is the number one priority in the transit business, so the StarTrans PS/2 is equipped with a variety of standard features such as white step nosing and slip-resistant flooring to help passengers safely navigate the vehicle. If they need to move from one seat to another, they can reach up and steady themselves with the available grab rails. An optional interior convex mirror allows the driver to keep an eye on the rest of the cabin from their seat. All occupants will be thankful for the extra peace of mind that comes with a variety of optional emergency exits, such as window egress points and a hatch on the roof. This bus has plenty more to offer, so don’t hesitate to contact us if it sounds like the right fit for your fleet!
