Nova Bus is offering several new products to its customers to enhance safety, cleanliness, and security onboard its public transportation vehicles, as operations gradually resume across several of its sites.

“As operations gradually restart in our North American facilities, our teams have been diligently working on new products and sanitary solutions to support our customers during these unprecedented times,” said Martin Larose, VP/GM of Nova Bus. “Working in collaboration with health authorities, operators and industry associations, we recognized that it was essential to provide solutions that will allow our customers to operate as safely as possible in this new reality.”
