Heavy duty window guard rails:

No attempts to cover up cost cutting here. Exposed wiring is hard to overlook. You also get a cellphone charging point, but no place to keep the cellphone:

Sun shade for the bus driver

Narrow walkway, but will be more than sufficient for kids. There's also a good amount of overhead storage space:

Grab bars for each passenger, with additional ones for those walking through the aisle:

The fascia. Not a big fan of the ugly radiator grille:

No guard rails like the school bus:

Same basic layout as the school bus. A 4-way adjustable driver's seat is available:

Even the plastic covers haven't been removed. Show's poor attention to detail from Mahindra's expo team. This surely isn't putting your best foot forward at a public showing:

Grab handles for each passenger:
