Choose Buslife

What is your all time favorite automobile?

Meet Milly, the unassuming school bus from Mildura that has undergone a remarkable transformation. Once a humble carrier of students, Milly now stands as a testament to creativity and resourcefulness, having been converted into a charming tiny house on wheels. The conversion is far from complete, but we can definitely live on her now.

The project began with a vision to repurpose a retired school bus into a comfortable and functional tiny home. We were driven by a desire for a more sustainable and adventurous lifestyle and we saw potential in the surprisingly spacious structure of the bus. Our dream was to create a mobile dwelling that could travel anywhere while providing the comforts of home.

Converting a school bus into a tiny house involves more than just aesthetic changes. Milly is undergoing a comprehensive overhaul, with careful attention to detail. The interior has been redesigned to maximize space efficiency, incorporating a cozy living area, a compact kitchen, eventually a functional bathroom, and comfortable sleeping nooks.

Milly’s transformation isn’t just about creating a stylish living space; it’s also also about sustainable living. The bus will eventually be equipped with eco-friendly features, such as solar panels to harness energy from the sun, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy-efficient appliances. We even created a podcast called ‘Choose Buslife’ documenting Milly’s bus conversion.

Milly, the school bus turned tiny house on wheels, represents the power of imagination and resourcefulness. Her transformation from a standard school bus to a cozy and sustainable dwelling showcases the endless possibilities of repurposing existing structures for a more mindful lifestyle. Hopefully we will have some final picture of her soon where she’s all complete and looking beautiful.

I also made some Merch for the podcast which celebrates the joy of buslife 🚌👇
