What you need to know

Below, you will find several reasons for you to choose the school bus services. 

Why taking the school bus is a good idea

  • It’s sociable: Riding to school with friends is fun!  School bus riders have a chance to mix with children of different ages.
  • It encourages independence: Getting yourself on the right bus at the right time, with all the bags, snacks, and school supplies that you need for the day teaches children about self-reliance from a young age.
  • It is greener: More children on the bus mean fewer cars on the road. This means less traffic and lower emissions.  Therefore, the impact of your choice to use school transportation can reflect on many others in a positive way.
  • Designed for working parents: They can continue their workday in the mental comfort that their children are safe.
