“None of the buses off the rack meet our needs,” Mr Reid says. “But we can buy a bus chassis and build a bus to transport our residents safely, and avoid injuries for almost the same cost.”
Further to this, the Group Head of Health Wellness and Safety and the Group Head of Procurement visited a number of vehicle interior installation companies, and endorsed a high top, long wheel base bus as the preferred option for IRT’s aged care centre customers.
For our retirement villages we will be working with a company to provide buses with low-back seating and a special access step.
