School buses aren’t just for taking kids to school. Whether you’re planning a group trip to an amusement park, a family outing, a bachelorette party or transportation for your wedding guests, renting a chartered bus can be a fun and cost effective way to travel.
“Most people would assume a school bus would only carry children, but we also do a lot of adult charters,” says Trudy Skinner of First Student Canada. “When most adults are looking to rent a vehicle for a transported event, they usually think about renting a coach, but a school bus is a fraction of the cost.” Unless you need the on-board washroom facilities that a motor coach provides, a school bus is a great alternative that will leave money in your pocket.
Chartering buses from hundreds of locations across Canada, First Student Canada is the largest school bus transportation company in Canada. They can customize their services to meet any special requirements. Flexible service allows for multiple pickups and routes, as well as special transportation services. With a modern fleet of more than 10,000 vehicles, buses are clean and maintained beyond legislated requirements. The large fleet also means they have a higher availability of buses for your events.
“We have smaller vehicles that hold up to 20 people, as well as the average school bus that fits 48 adults,” Skinner explains. First Student Canada also offers wheelchair accessible vehicles.
Customers who charter a bus from First Student Canada don’t have to worry about directions, scheduling, or finding and paying for parking. Professional bus drivers are friendly and courteous. Buses are chartered from established call centres throughout the country, so drivers are familiar with the destinations and roads on route. Buses are equipped with 2-way radio communication so help is always close at hand should something arise. Drivers are trained with the same program used to safely transport school children every day, ensuring that your group will arrive safely and on time.
