Barons Bus Adding UV Light Kits to Combat COVID-19

NFI Parts™ received an order from Barons Bus for 51 UV Light Kits to be installed on their entire fleet of MCI J4500 motorcoaches.

NFI Parts’ UV Lighting system works to reduce bacteria, viruses, and mold in the HVAC system, creating a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers. The UV Lighting system mounts inside the ductwork and sanitizes air with UV light and does not produce pollution or use harmful chemicals. UVC lights have been used to sanitize hospitals, operating rooms, doctors’ offices, medical equipment, and residential spaces for many years.

A family-owned bus transportation service, Barons Bus is headquartered in Cleveland and is owned and operated by the Goebel family, who have been in the bus transportation industry for more than 30 years. The former owners of Lakefront Lines, the Goebel family started Barons Bus in 2012, focusing on purchasing only safe, reliable, clean, and comfortable buses. The philosophy has continued as Barons Bus has grown from five buses to 51 today. Service has expanded to include bus charters, bus tickets at 95-plus stops, the College Connection service offering campus transportation, and school bus transportation. Barons Bus prides itself on safety and customer service and was the recipient of the 2019 Metro Magazine Motorcoach Operator of the Year Award.

“We want every rider to know we are doing everything we can to provide the safest ride for them,” said John Goebel, VP of Barons Bus. “This investment in UVC as well as FAR UV lighting is part of our larger efforts to ensure everyone’s safety.”
