Onboard Restrooms
Every 56-passenger shuttle bus comes equipped with a fully functional restroom located at the rear of the cabin, featuring a toilet, sink, and running water for handwashing. This amenity is especially valuable on long-distance trips between Anchorage and remote destinations like Fairbanks, Seward, or Denali National Park, allowing passengers to avoid frequent roadside stops and maintain a more efficient travel schedule. The restroom is regularly cleaned and sanitized to ensure comfort and hygiene for all guests.
Onboard TVs
Entertain your group with multiple flat-screen TVs installed throughout the cabin, each connected to a central DVD/Blu-ray player or HDMI input for laptops and streaming devices. You can play movies, training videos, or custom content during the ride—ideal for keeping kids occupied on school trips or setting the tone for corporate events and team-building outings. Audio plays through ceiling-mounted speakers so everyone can hear clearly.
Power Outlets
Never worry about dead batteries thanks to multiple 110V power outlets and USB charging ports installed throughout the cabin. Passengers can plug in laptops, tablets, phones, or other electronic devices at their seats, making it easy to work on projects, watch movies, or stay connected during long rides between Anchorage and destinations like Fairbanks or Seward. The electrical system is robust enough to handle simultaneous use by dozens of people without tripping breakers or causing voltage drops.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay comfortable in any weather with a powerful HVAC system that provides both heating and air conditioning throughout the cabin. Each row of seats has adjustable air vents so passengers can control airflow to their liking, whether you're traveling through the cold winters of Anchorage or the warmer summer months. The system is designed to maintain a consistent temperature from front to back, ensuring everyone stays warm or cool regardless of where they're sitting.
Leather Seating
Relax in plush, high-back seats upholstered in durable synthetic leather that's easy to clean and resistant to spills. The seats are arranged in pairs on either side of a central aisle, with optional armrests and reclining backs for added comfort. There's enough legroom for adults to sit comfortably on long trips, and the wide aisles make it easy to move around the cabin. This seating configuration is ideal for transporting large groups of people together, whether it's a sports team, wedding party, or corporate event.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store personal belongings in overhead compartments above the seats, perfect for backpacks, jackets, and small bags. Larger items like suitcases, coolers, or sports equipment can be stowed in the undercarriage storage bays accessible from outside the bus. This allows passengers to keep the main cabin free of clutter while still bringing everything they need for the trip. There's enough storage space to accommodate luggage for a full load of passengers, making it suitable for airport transfers or multi-day excursions.
