Blue Bird Micro Bird Body Advantages

When designing its Micro Bird body, Blue Bird transferred its years of experience in large school buses to build a small bus engineered with safety and reliability in mind. The Blue Bird Micro Bird offers real bus strength, unrivaled safety, and years of dependable service. Features of the Blue Bird Micro Bird body include Blue Bird’s trademark one-piece roof bows and unitized body construction and our embossed drip visors over windows to prevent corrosion. Heavy-duty structural components from front to rear form a sturdy steel fortress around passengers and provide extra strength that adds years to the life of the bus.
