This is the first one I've seen photographed in Kentucky with the new roof cap. Also note that it has smooth side panels between the rub rails (not commonly spec'd on KY Blue Birds). It makes for a very nice bus! Fort Thomas Independent Schools 21 by Cincinnati NKY Buses, on Flickr Fort Thomas Independent Schools 21 (2) by Cincinnati NKY Buses, on Flickr

They will also be equipped with tinted windows. Be on the look for buses with numbers starting with 23XX. I will try to get pics when they start coming in.

They've needed higher capacity buses for a long time. I can remember riding the bus and having 70-80 students crammed on a 66 passenger IC CE.

I’m not sure what the capacity will be, but if I had to guess, it would be 78. We’ve also added a new camera system on our 21s(the 15 that we have) and they now feature drive cams so I’m curious and excited to see how they work.
