Arizona-Based Operator Gets a Lift with Prevost Car
All Aboard America! takes delivery of four H3-45 motorcoaches
Sainte-Claire, Quebec, December 21st, 2004 – All Aboard America!, one of South Western United States’ most prominent motorcoach charter and tour operators, has boosted its fleet by adding four new H3-45 Prevost motorcoaches, which were delivered in October 2004.
“We have been buying Prevost vehicles for more than ten years and they now comprise almost half of our fleet,” said Jack Wigley, All Aboard America!’s President. “Their high quality features and passenger-pleasing amenities make them the Rolls-Royce of motorcoaches.”
According to Wigley, one of Prevost’s most innovative features is its exclusive “Swap & Plug” ADA compliant wheelchair lift system, which is a unique plug-and-play concept that can be quickly installed or moved from one lift-ready vehicle to another. “In the past, we’ve often had to install lifts on many vehicles that didn’t need them, which made for unnecessary expenses,” Wigley said. “With the new order, we bought just two lifts for the four buses, and we will move them from vehicle to vehicle, as required. When the lift is not required, we gain back the luggage space and do not have to carry the unnecessary load.”
All Aboard America!, a subsidiary of Industrial Bus Lines, Inc., is a full-service motorcoach transportation company that provides tours, charters, commuter and line run services, throughout the continental United States, Canada and Mexico. All Aboard America! is a third-generation family business, with a 65-vehicle fleet, and offices in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The company will soon be celebrating its 70th anniversary.
