New Tata CityRide School Bus

Tata CityRide buses, are quite popular in the school bus segment. While the Tata CityRide school bus model available few years ago did not gain that much traction owing to its plain looks, the last existing model (introduced around 3 years back) was a hot selling cake in the market. India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, Tata Motors has introduced a yet another upgraded version of the CityRide brand of buses. new-tata-cityride-school-bus-rear Special point to notice in the new Tata CityRide bus is U-shape blackened FRP paneling on front facia as well as the rear facia. While the arc type smiley front on the earlier Tata CityRide buses did make a lot of happy customers in the market, the response on the newly introduced body only time will tell.
