Buses are a vital form of transportation in West Virginia, especially in rural areas and for special population groups such as the elderly and disabled. West Virginia’s Division of Public Transit (DPT) strives to ensure the best possible experience for passengers on buses and vans, and to meet the service needs of West Virginia residents.

Buses of the 1920's and early 1930's typically placed the engine at the front of the bus out in front of the main body. This is known as a ``conventional'' layout. Conventional placement gives easy motor access, separates passengers from engine noise, and gives plenty of space to lay out a simple drivetrain. In addition, many parts can be shared with truck designs, which helps to reduce the bus purchase price. However, there are several disadvantages. The space in front is ``wasted'' since it does not carry passengers or cargo.

Mini Coaches are little buses that get the big job of moving smaller groups or employees between hotels, airports, worksites, fairgrounds, etc. Mini coaches have individual seating like a deluxe motorcoach, but are used for smaller groups and shorter distances - trips under 150 miles. A quick tip: on-board luggage capacities vary widely, which may be an important consideration if you're shuttling out-of-town travelers.

Buses from the 1940's through the 1970's often used buses where reverse is selected by a reverse switch. From neutral, activate the reverse switch and move the shift lever to a position which is normally a specific forward gear, and the bus is now in reverse. Sometimes, the reverse switch is on the gear shift lever [[image Flxible Visicoach]]. Other times, the switch is somewhere on the instrument panel [[image GMC1, GMC2]].

The initial buses were produced under contract with the motor division of Zonda Industrial Group of Yancheng, China. They are due to load on the BBC Germany during the first week in June and arrive in Douala mid July. TAUG chose a newer vessel that can make the trip from China to Cameroon in about 35 days to reduce the exposure of the buses. The ship plans to transit the Panama canal cutting at least 10-15 days off the trip.
