The Website

crownbus.com was founded in May 1999.  Since that time, crownbus.com has been an ongoing project for eight years.  Those who have been faithful visitors since the beginning most likely recognize the many changes that this website has undergone over the years.  It is my hopes that throughout the numerous changes in format that the optimum viewing experience has be achieved.

Unlike many school bus-related websites, this website serves as an informational archive for both Crown Coach Corporation and Gillig Brothers Built Buses.  Updates are not made on a regular basis.  The information published on this website will continue to remain online for future reference to viewers.

The Webmaster

"The Buskid"

Upon graduating from High School in June of 2000, I pursued my ambition of wanting to drive a School Bus.  I became a "Zero-Restricted" California State Certified School Bus Driver on Friday, October 13, 2000.  Since then, I have had my Class “B” Commercial Driver License with Air Brake and Passenger Endorsements along with my School Bus Endorsement.  I am currently a Full-time College Student as well as a School Bus Driver.

In May 2000, and again in August 2000, I was featured in the industry trade publication School Bus Fleet MagazineI am a member of the National Association for Pupil Transportation, NAPT, and hold one NAPT Certification in School Bus Specifications, NAPT 503.  I am also a regular attendee of the School Transportation News School Bus EXPO that is held each Summer in Reno, Nevada.
