Equipment

Our modern motor coaches come standard with DVD players and video monitors, WIFI, are climate controlled, have restrooms, public address systems, luggage bays, over-head parcel rack space, scenic windows and comfortable reclining seats. Most of our coaches kneel or have steps that automatically lower to make boarding safe and easy. All equipment is licensed and insured and regularly safety inspected.

Our motor coaches are going where you want to go - across the country, to the mountains, to the theatre, the airport, the hockey arena, the football game, the casino. There's little to no restrictions, and you're helping to save the planet in the meantime - there's no downside! There's also the small factor about time. Coaches pass through customs faster, and you're always dropped off right at the front door.

You don't need to worry about traffic - you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Whether it's taking a much deserved holiday, or using one on a regular basis, a motor coach from Frontier Bus Lines not only provides the optimum service for you, but in return, you're providing an optimum service for our planet because buses emit fewer pollutants than other forms of travel.
 

Frontier Bus Lines marks milestone with first new MCI® J4500 coach

SCHAUMBURG, IL — October 1, 2009 — Frontier Bus Lines is chartering a new chapter in its 24-year history. The Red Deer, Alberta, company has taken delivery of its first new coach, an MCI J4500, after building a successful business with a fleet of pre-owned coaches. "It's very exciting to have our very first new coach," said Laura Budd, who runs the business with her husband, Keith. "Our customers absolutely love it."

Keith and Laura Budd bought Frontier in 1985, when it had one coach. Over the years, they have grown the business through personalized service and by prudently buying pre-owned coaches, mostly MCIs. The delivery brings the company fleet to 11 coaches. "The timing was right for a new coach, and the J4500 model has always been a coach Keith has liked," said Laura. "The graphics on the coach are gorgeous, and we've been getting lots of compliments."

Frontier is located in the picturesque Aspen Parkland, a region of rolling hills and mountain plains in central Alberta. The exterior decal on Frontier's new J4500, created by MCI's graphics department at the factory, depicts the local beauty of the area known as Kootenay Plains. Additionally, one of Frontier's D-Series coaches bears a decal featuring the area's Bow Lake.

Offering charter and tour services to schools, hockey teams and international visitors, Frontier says its business stays steady all year long. Frontier also operates a three-bay service shop on property it bought 20 years ago and employs more than 14 full and part-time drivers.

With headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois, MCI is the leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of intercity coaches with sales and service centers across the U.S. and Canada. It is also the industry's leading supplier of coach-related aftermarket parts and services for most makes and models.
