I was riding around the Denver area ad saw this bus in Longmont on the BOLT from Boulder.I checked MCI's website but nothing even looks close. If anyone has info it would be nice.

Its a Blue Bird coach. I can't recall the exact model of it but I remember it being on their site before NABI bought them out.

I believe it is called a Blue Bird Express 4500.

This bus is the same design, and also identified as a Blue Bird (and the Blue Bird logo is visible as well).

Yeah, I didn't realize it, either until this week.  I always think of Blue Bird as the school bus company with the long black line near the top of the bus down the side, culminating in a stylized bird at the head end.

(Except in Virginia, from what I can tell, since I've never seen a Virginia school bus carry manufacturer markings in the paintwork like school buses in other states do - must be a law against it in VA)
