From Bus & Motorcoach News:
RBS Inc., a major provider of tour and charter management systems designed for the motorcoach industry, officially is shutting down this summer. Although talk of the company's demise has been circulating for more than a year, co-owner and CEO Bob Schnur told clients on April 8 that the closure will be official at the end of June.
"We regret to inform you that the rumors of the past year are now proving true. After 13 months of failed negotiations with multiple potential purchasers, we have decided that our only option is to cease operations at the end of June 2024," Schnur wrote in the email to clients.
In the email, Schnur, co-owner with Walter Buist, the firm's longtime head developer, says the firm "never recovered from the loss of key personnel due to the COVID pandemic."...............................

From School Bus Fleet:
Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) recognized "Electrifying School Buses in the Bronx" with the 2024 Power Player of the Year award in the Transportation category. ESBB is a project led by New York City School Bus Umbrella Services (NYCSBUS) and its partners to put 25 zero-emission buses into service for the community with advanced smart-charging technology and educational benefits for school bus operators and districts across the region.
As the technical lead on the project, The Mobility House accepted the award at the 2024 Power Players Awards ceremony in Coronado, Calif., hosted by SEPA, on behalf of NYCSBUS and project partners including World Resources Institute, CALSTART, Bronx Community College, New York League of Conservation Voters, and South Bronx Unite.
"NYCSBUS's Zerega Depot is a great example of a project that represents how the electrification of school bus fleets can benefit communities everywhere," said Greg Hintler, CEO of The Mobility House North America. "We are proud to be involved in the project, and grateful for its recognition as the Transportation Power Player of the Year."......................................
