Everything is great, however I am looking forward to being able to get yellow buses earlier than 4:45pm and understand there is a shortage of drivers.

Good Experience
Bus was chartered to take group of Life Long Learners from WCC to tour city of Batavia. Patient driver and good driver.
Remote parking made easy
We contracted buses to transport attendees from remote parking to our annual festival and back at the end of the evening. Drivers were on-time, friendly and prepared to provide the service we expected. They made sure they spaced out between the buses so that nobody had to wait longer than 10 minutes or so for a ride. We received many compliments from patrons and will make this our standard.
We had an Amazing experience
We had an Amazing experience. Our bus Driver Howard was on time, polite and definitely attentive to our needs.
Thank you

The First Student office team were easy…
The First Student office team were easy to work with in setting upt he charters and the drivers reached out the day of to confirm; were always on time and extremely professional. We will definintely continue to use their services.
We used First Student to take our group to O'Hare
We used First Student to take our group to O'Hare Airport for a ski trip and then when we returned First Student picked us up to take us back to Batavia. Both drivers were very courteous and helpful. O'Hare does have construction so it was a little more challenging for the pickup from O'Hare. The driver was early for the pickup and continued to drive the circle drive until we waved down the bus. It would have been helpful if the driver could have parked the bus in a waiting area for a call from the trip leader.
I would recommend First Student.
Both drivers were early in arriving…
Both drivers were early in arriving which was very nice to know they were ready to go! They were friendly, drove safe and got us where we needed to be.
