These are pictures of various school buses of Sinton, a company in Barrie.
This company has some of the best buses in Central Ontario.
The buses shown are: Thomas-Freightliners, International-Blue Birds, Blue Bird integral buses (Vision/TC2000), and some minibuses (we call them "Busettes") and some rare buses such as some of the buses that came from Allandale, and Girardin.
@MrWill1985 Most Canadian provinces mandated 8-ways years ago. I don't exactly know when, but I've seen school buses in Quebec with the 8-ways in the mid-90s. Ontario mandated 8-ways in 2005, but they're all red lights - just like in Wisconsin. I haven't read the specs of the safety standards for Canada, or have been able to compare them with the States, but I would say that our buses are pretty safe. Our licensing is pretty strict as well, and once you get your B class, it's really hard to keep

So how come buses from the late 90s early 2000s here still have only the red over head lights? I know Baltimore County MD originally started them in 1986 along with the fold out stop sign in 1988 and the buses from 85 and earlier got retrofitted with the yellow over head lights and the stop signs as the 86-87 orders were stop sign less. So I wonder if Canada is more lenient with modern safety then the United States.
