The 500th TS 35 is a 40-passenger luxury coach that sports a stunning metallic black graphics package. Powered by a Cummins 345 HP ISL engine driving through an Allison B500 six-speed transmission, it’s equipped with 110V outlets, USB ports, an REI Elite Entertainment system with 15” monitors and a woodgrain rubber floor. Like all Temsas delivered in the U.S., it has a stainless-steel monocoque frame, ample underfloor luggage space, and the latest in safety technology.
“We have been very pleased with the customer satisfaction, performance and size of the 35-foot Temsa,” said Anderson’s President Doug Anderson. “With the demise of the 47-passenger coach, we began shopping for an alternative to fill the midsized vehicle need, because there continues to be demand from customers for a coach appropriate for smaller groups. After trying other products, (and actually distributing one), we purchased our first Temsa and we’re not looking back. In fact, we are looking forward to working with the Temsa product and CH Bus Sales for many years to come. I’m glad that Temsa filled the market segment other manufacturers were not addressing with a product that is priced right and delivers reliable service.”
“We’re proud to have a distinguished operator like Anderson operate our coaches,” said Tony Mongiovi, NE Vice President of Sales and Service for CH Bus Sales, Temsa’s exclusive North American Distributor. “I don’t know of any modern motorcoach model that has reached this milestone so quickly… and it’s fitting that it go to Anderson. From the beginning, we’ve tried to be selective in who we sold to. We targeted quality operators, because we are building for the future. Anderson is a perfect example. They run a first rate, and very diverse, company. Like Temsa… they’re here for the long haul. We are delighted to be part of their team.”
Founded by O.D. Anderson in 1937, what started as a school bus route to a one-room school has grown into a full-service transportation company that serves more than a half-million customers each year. In 2011, Anderson was named International Motor Coach Group’s “Operator of the Year,” and in 2016, the company earned the prestigious International Motorcoach Group Safety Award.

“We are most pleased to add this Carolina star to our team,” said Ron Moore, Trailways chairman and president of Burlington Trailways of IA. “The company’s 30-plus years of award-winning operating experience in the transportation industry and impressive fleet of vehicles will enhance our ability to serve customers from an important region on the East Coast.”
Rose Chauffeured Transportation started in 1985 as a limousine company with only three employees. Today, the company has over 100 employees and a fleet of 50 vehicles, including full-size motorcoaches, minibuses, vans, SUVs, and sedans. The company primarily serves schools and corporations, and is the official transportation of the Carolina Panthers NFL team.
“We’ve gone from being a Rolls limousine company in the 80s that specialized in weddings to a full-service provider with an array of vehicle services for our varied customer base,” said general manager Tom Holden. “We still do personal events but they are no longer exclusive in our operations.
“Trailways is a brand with 80 years of success behind it, and Rose is a leading brand in the Carolinas with recognition as one of the South’s top 100 small businesses and 31 years in the business,” he continues. “We are the largest in our region, so it made great business sense to bring these two powerful brands together with this partnership.
