Recently adding more coaches to the fleet, Atlantic has taken delivery of six Temsa coaches: four TS 45 full-size and two TS 35 midsize coaches.
Atlantic Limousine’s TS 35 midsize coaches seated for 40 passengers and are equipped with leather seats, hardwood floor, a REI A/V system, flat screen TVs, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, 110V+ USB power outlets, and a restroom. The company says it went for an executive look on this bus, which is going to play a big part in helping it cater to both sources of revenue (full-size coaches and midsize coaches).
Hoss Oskouie, VP of Atlantic Limousine, shared that their current operation benefits from the TS 35 coach because it “is great for those smaller groups who do travel outside of town or local transfer trips who do not require full-size motorcoaches.” The TS 45 full-size coach des are seated for 56 passengers and are equipped with some of the same favorite features such as Wi-Fi, 110V+ USB power outlets, a REI A/V system, flat screen TVs, Satellite TV, and a restroom. Hoss also commented that their “experience has been positive so far with both models; for sure the executive look on the TS 35 has surprised a lot of customers who are wowed when walking inside of the bus.”
The world class Temsa TS 45 and TS 35 are wholly integral coaches that offer a luxurious and spacious interior for passengers and driver. Constructed from stainless steel for extra durability and strength. All Temsa coaches are exclusively equipped with the Cummins/Allison drivetrain, providing raw power and optimum serviceability.
