FAQs

What specific types of transit vehicles can be effectively cleaned using NS Corporation’s systems?

Buses, trains, and large trucks can all be maintained using our transit wash systems. With custom engineering options, we can expand that list considerably, catering to whatever unique transit vehicles you have that need cleaning.

Additionally, we provide cleaning system components that allow you to upgrade or expand your existing industrial washing solutions.

How does NS Corporation ensure its public transportation cleaning systems minimize environmental impact?

We focus on several key factors of design and implementation to reduce environmental footprints with our wash systems. Water capture and reclamation designs allow us to reuse water and minimize losses on that front.

Meanwhile, precision design and high-quality parts allow us to make systems that last longer and lower their total footprint through longevity and efficiency.

How does NS Corporation control costs for transit wash systems?

Custom engineering provides us with the greatest opportunities for cost controls. We can design around the unique elements of your fleet. With these customizations, your transit vehicle wash systems provide the exact level of throughput you need, reducing cost inflation related to overbuilding or overscaling.

Durability adds to cost controls by maximizing longevity.

How much does a bus washer cost?

The price of bus washers is generally between $10,000 and $50,000, depending on the size of the system and its level of automation. In addition, its water recycling ability and the use of brush systems or touchless cleaning tend to affect the price.

Smaller fleet maintenance operations often choose entry-level portable systems, while larger automated transit wash systems designed for continuous, high-volume bus cleaning in commercial or municipal fleet operations are usually linked to considerably higher investments.

What is fleet cleaning?

Fleet cleaning is the professional process of cleaning and maintaining fleets of commercial vehicles, such as buses, trucks, and vans, at a depot or other designated place. This type of cleaning removes dirt, grease, and road debris using specialist heavy-duty transit wash equipment and cleaning procedures. A bus company, for example, could set up an automatic cleaning system to wash its transit vehicles every night to ensure all vehicles are ready for service.

What chemicals do truck washes use?

Should transit buses get cleaned every night?

Many transport agencies, including municipalities, clean buses every night or follow a predetermined schedule, especially for fleets that are frequently used. This often includes the use of pressure washers for the exterior as well as disinfecting the interior. 

In some public transit systems, a long-lasting sanitizing procedure is used to reduce surface germs and contribute to keeping both passengers’ and operators’ surroundings cleaner. Automated transit wash systems reduce downtime between service routes, improve cleaning consistency, and support efficient fleet maintenance.

How are trains washed?

Trains and other rolling stock are often cleaned by automated rail washing systems, which are installed at maintenance facilities. Modern trains are typically cleaned using a combination of mechanical brush systems, high-pressure water technology with rotating nozzles, and multi-stage chemical cleaning processes. These systems are available at NS Corporation and are designed to minimize downtime for train operations while effectively cleaning external surfaces, including roofs and undercarriages.

How does water reclamation work?

Transit wash systems use water reclamation to collect washing wastewater, filter and treat it to remove contaminants, and then use the cleaned water for more wash cycles. For example, before the treated water is put back into the washing process, it may pass through additional filtration systems and settling tanks that remove dirt and contaminants. NS Corporation uses this technology to wash transit vehicles. As a result, water usage is reduced, operating costs are lowered, and environmentally sustainable cleaning methods are encouraged.
