Candidate II
Passenger comfort and convenience.
The Candidate II is the perfect solution for those in the market for a smaller shuttle bus or an alternative to a raised roof van. The Candidate II, with its narrow body and a long list of standard features, can accommodate a variety of needs. Drivers will appreciate the improved handling and stability the Candidate II offers with its dual rear wheels. Because a Commercial Drivers License isn’t needed to operate the Candidate II (check your state requirements), it’s always ready for the road.
Passengers will be able to enter and exit the Candidate II with ease through the wide entry door and deep steps and can comfortably move throughout the bus with its 20″ aisle and 76″ of interior headroom. Once seated, passengers will have a great view through the 36″ x 36″ windows. This, combined with the previously mentioned features, makes the Candidate II the most spacious shuttle bus in the industry.
