Communicative and dependable
First Student works with WHPS to move 275 children from 11 elementary schools to three different rehearsal sites, weekly for 16 weeks! They take care of our children, doing so on time and with great communication. This particular trip was for week 1. We look forward to the next 15 weeks with First Student. Many thanks

Bus driver was falling asleep at the wheel. He was nodding off several times.
We had two buses and both drivers drove over the rumble strips several times. It made for an unsafe ride to BOS airport with our luggage.

The driver left the bride and groom following the reception conclusion to bring approximately 5 guests back to the hotel. At approximately 10:15-10:20 the driver was nowhere to be found. He left early instead of waiting for the bride and groom.

Our driver was on time for pickup
Our driver was on time for pickup. She was very personable. Had to reroute us because the bus was unable to go over Avon MT., and she did so without a hitch. Great experience!

We were pretty upset that the driver of our bus with our wedding guests dropped them off at the wrong entrance. There was a main entrance where all guests needed to come and leave through. It was lit at night when they all were supposed to leave. Our guests were made to walk all the way through the brewery and then had to leave through a dark area on the backside. Our guests did not get to see all of the welcoming signs and get to pick up their shot glasses for the ceremony so some did not have them when the toast was done. Very disappointing.
