FORMER Chappaqua Transportation 375
2004 Thomas Freightliner; the sibling to 376.
On May 19, 2011, bus 375 was doing its normal afternoon route for the Bedford CSD when the driver experienced engine trouble and smelled smoke emanating from the hood of the bus. He quickly parked the vehicle, and evacuated all children. Minutes later, the bus erupted in flames. Fortunately, no injuries resulted. The driver was honored for his heroism by the school district and by Chappaqua Transportation owner Joan Corwin.
On a personal note, I grew up in Chappaqua and this was my favorite bus in the fleet. I was very sad to see it go.
