The Blue Bird Vision is a high floor type-C school bus which replaced the CV-200.

The Vision boasts optimal safety particularly in the area of driver visibility. This is achieved to a sloping hood and the Safety View™ Vision Panel which is a window under the windscreen at the side.

In 2008, Blue Bird updated the Vision with a new hood design, new instrument panel, new steering column w/ E-Z adjust peddle and a new electric outward opening service door.
