Get the Nova Bus mug.The Nova Bus LFS (Low Floor Series) is a family of transit buses manufactured by Nova Bus, designed to provide efficient and accessible public transportation solutions. First introduced in 1996, the LFS series was developed to meet the growing demand for low-floor buses in North America, offering easier access for passengers, including those with mobility impairments. The LFS buses are available in 40-foot rigid and 62-foot articulated configurations, with the articulated version designed to accommodate higher passenger volumes. The buses feature a fully low-floor design, meaning that the floor is level with the curb, eliminating the need for stairs and making boarding easier for everyone, including passengers in wheelchairs, those with strollers, and the elderly. The series is versatile in terms of propulsion options, available in conventional diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), hybrid diesel-electric, and battery-electric powertrains, catering to different environmental and operational needs of transit authorities.
