Cardinal Coach Lines 2809-2817

Cardinal Coach Lines 2809-2817 were 1997-99 model Blue Bird International 3800 buses. They were purchased second-hand from a First Student branch in the United States (most likely in Minnesota), and arrived in Calgary in 2006 or 2007. A defining feature of these units were their high-backed passenger seats; a feature not typical on school buses in the Calgary area at the time. Other features included an internal speaker/PA system and an exterior light monitor panel above the driver's seat.
