Transit Sales International Awarded Contract for Eight Buses to Mears Transportation Group

RIVERSIDE, CA – Transit Sales International (TSI), the nation’s leading provider of pre-owned buses, in collaboration with its affiliate Shuttle Bus Leasing (SBL), is proud to announce a combined lease and refurbishment agreement with Mears Transportation Group.

Under the agreement, SBL is providing a short-term lease of eight (8) transit buses to ensure Mears can begin operations for their new service contract on time. The leased buses will serve as an interim solution while TSI refurbishes eight (8) buses that Mears has purchased for permanent deployment. The refurbishment work is being performed by Complete Coach Works (CCW), an affiliate of TSI, and will include complete mechanical and cosmetic upgrades to complete the refurbishment.

“This is a great example of how our group works together to deliver smart, flexible fleet solutions,” said Jay Raber, Regional Sales Manager for Complete Coach Works. “The lease allows Mears to meet its service start date while giving us the time needed to complete their customized refurbishments.”

The project highlights the value of TSI’s vertically integrated approach—offering customers a one-stop solution that combines immediate operational support through leasing with long-term fleet investment through refurbishment.

“Mears has a long-standing reputation for quality and service, and we’re proud to support them as they expand operations in Florida,” said Jay Raber. “This kind of collaboration is what sets our group apart.”
