Our bus drivers to and from Lexington
Our bus drivers to Lexington, NE were great. Our adults and students had nothing but great things to say about them. On our return we had one original bus driver and one new one. The new one was a lady, and she made the students and adult fearful. They felt like she was not confidence in her driving and her attentiveness was very much lacking. They had many close calls with her driving. One of our adults stated she felt like the drive must have been too much for her and if she was very new to driving the bus. In future request we would prefer not to have her drive our students again. The other two bus drivers we had were amazing!

Our driver was great
Our driver was great! She arrived on time and waited patiently for anyone that needed a safe ride home from our venue. She ended up only needing to do one ride with the entire wedding party back to our hotel! She was very accommodating! Thank you

The whole experience was wonderful
The whole experience was wonderful. It was easy to set up and extremely affordable. The driver arrived early and did exactly what we needed the whole time. And everyone loved riding a school bus. It actually added to the whole party experience. I would highly recommend them.

I had a great experience with this bus company! The driver showed up on time, the bus was clean, the seatbelts were all in working order and our driver was really personable and friendly.

The cost of travel has increased…
The cost of travel has increased significantly and our bus driver was 20 minutes late. This meant we had 35+ students waiting around to move on to the next thing. With the amount we are paying for transportation, that is not okay. We understand some things can't be helped, but we also didn't get any calls to let us know that the driver was running late. We had to call and check.
