Question

How much does a full size city bus weigh (an older one, not the new smaller or hybrid kind)?

Answer 1

I drive 40foot Gillic's for the local RTA.  Our oldest ones are from '95 and '98.  The old ones weigh in at 42,000#'s (21 tons) and the newer ones are about 36,000#'s (18 tons)!

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

gross unladen weight is around 12 tonnes.....that can double when the bus is full of passengers

Answer 3

My 68 Silver Eagle weighed in at 28,700lbs, 46 seats, Silver 92 Detroit, 4 speed.. Faster than a speeding moped
