Tour Groups Rely on Charter Bus Transportation

School Field Trips Are Different Now

Do you remember your first school field trip? If you are an adult now, it probably featured happy memories of a long bus ride on an old school bus, rounds of singing songs like “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and “100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”, and hours and hours of boring scenery passing […]

Great Coaches Give Great Speeches

  Sports and speeches have always gone together.

Now you can […]

Safety and Reliability During School Outings

Every school administrator knows that anytime you take students off campus, the school’s liability and responsibility increase exponentially.

Soccer Teams Deserve More Respect

Consider More than Just Bid Prices

School districts, private schools, and other institutions send out bid requests all the time for things like repairs, new construction, and even student transportation.

Travel Like a Champion Today

As the Notre Dame football team leaves their home locker room before every game, each player passes by a small sign that reads, “Play Like a Champion Today”.

College Club Outings and Academic Competitions

When most people think about field trips, they usually picture elementary school students visiting a zoo or high schoolers at the museum.

How to Win a Championship

Imagine two high school sports teams. The first is riding to the big game in the same school buses the student-athletes rode on to arrive at school in the morning.

Taking School Buses on Field Trips Is Risky

Don’t Deal with Bus Brokers

Bus brokers are businesses that pretend to offer bus rental services to people looking to arrange group transportation.

Get Me to the Church On Time!

Weddings are different today. There are a lot more moving parts. Back when your parents got married, weddings were relatively simple affairs. Sure, all the same moments were there — vows in a church, pictures with the wedding party, and dining and dancing at the reception — but the whole day just followed a relatively […]

Luxury Charter Buses Are the New Limos

  Whatever happened to the stretch limousine? It used to be a staple of movie premiers, high school proms, and other once-in-a-lifetime events. Practically nobody rides in a limo anymore. Even A-list celebrities are more likely to arrive in a black SUV than they are one of these old-fashioned oversized cars. Nowadays the only limos […]

Group Travel Saves Money and the Planet

Winning Teams Travel Together

We Were Promised Self-Driving Cars!

  Remember around the turn of the millennium when “experts” were saying we would all be riding around in self-driving cars by the early 2020s? So what happened?

When You Charter a Bus, You Set the Schedule

Airfare prices recently hit all-time records. Amtrak is slow and prone to delays and breakdowns. And public intracity bus service is, let’s just say, far from luxurious.

How to Make a Long Bus Trip Manageable
