"If you take a look at the artwork each of these kids created,
you see that not only have they designed a dream bus, many have
incorporated their dream bus into an ideal future environment and
society," said Trish Reed, vice
president and general manager, IC Bus. "These are more than
aspirational, they are inspirational. These are true pieces of
art."
IC Bus hosted the Imagination Contest for students K-8 to dream
up the bus of the future. The nationwide contest invited students
to create the school bus of the future in a drawing, poem, video,
picture, sculpture or model. The Next Stop is a new IC Bus
initiative aimed at imagining the needs of the bus industry's
future.
Through a collaborative approach, IC Bus will lead the way in
bringing together the brightest minds of the industry to map out
the road ahead. Learn more at http://ICBus.com/thenextstop.
