Cal State Bakersfield sports teams will be riding in style to games this season. The school unveiled a new, blue and gold luxury charter bus outside the Icardo Center on Wednesday, and members of the athletic department believe it will increase visability, help recruiting, and get more kids to enroll at CSUB.

The 56-seat bus was donated by the Orange Belt Stages company, though the school still has to pay a per trip fee.

It hits the road for the first time on Thursday to drop off the men’s soccer squad at LAX.
