Blue Bird Multi Function
School Activity Bus. Built for More Than the Classroom.
The Blue Bird Multi Function School Activity Bus is built on the proven All American platform — finished in clean white for activity trips, field excursions, transit routes, and any application beyond the traditional school run. Everything that makes the All American legendary, adapted for versatility.
Multi Function School Activity Bus
More Than a School Bus
The Multi Function bus is designed for any application that needs the capacity, reliability, and safety of a Type D bus without the traditional yellow school bus appearance. From activity trips and charter routes to transit and paratransit — this bus handles it.
Activity & Charter
Field trips, athletic events, band and choir excursions — the Multi Function handles it all with the passenger capacity and comfort students deserve.
Transit & Paratransit
Clean white exterior makes the Multi Function ideal for public transit routes, demand-response service, and community transportation programs.
Safety Standard
Same certified safety cage, ESC, and backup camera as the All American — every Multi Function bus is held to the same rollover and structural standards.
