Customer Boarding Made Easy

New Flyer introduced the first low-floor bus model to the North American market. This model saw the elimination of stairs and the addition of deployable ramp(s), fundamentally improving the ease of access to transit for many people. Xcelsior further refines our ground-breaking blueprint with new best-in-class designs for accessibility.


Xcelsior has the lowest entrance step height of any bus at 14”. The bus can further be kneeled, which lowers the entrance step to 10”.

Our new ramp, designed in-house, has an industry-leading 1:7 slope ratio. No other ramp on any other transit bus has as gentle a slope.

We widened the front door opening by 2” and increased space in the entryway. A passenger getting on or off Xcelsior has more room to maneuver than ever before.
Xcelsior serves as the new definition for accessibility in the transit industry.
