You did not send the handicap bus we reserved causing a huge issue.
The bus was not a handicap bus that we had confirmed, reserved and paid for and is shown on our contract, receipt and quote. We have two students that are in a wheelchair. Since we did not have time to wait on another bus, we had to scramble to find other arrangements for those 2 students. I asked at that time if an adjustment would be made on our charges due to this very large mistake (parents were VERY angry) and was told there would be a credit. I have called and not heard back from First Student. We have another field trip next Friday and have booked First Student. If I have not heard from First Student by tomorrow, I will not be utilizing First Student ever again.We are a special needs school and absolutely must have this bus to transport our students. On a positive note, the driver was wonderful, kind, and did a great job.

The bus driver Charlie was a 5 star.
The bus driver Charlie was a 5 star.
The reservation experience was the 3 star as our pickup from Jacksonville airport was an hour late. I had to call to have the bus dispatched incurring long distance charges. 28 people were left waiting.

Our bus was supposed to arrive at 6:45am, so my girls could get to their cheer competition. We had to transport all of the girls ourselves, and the bus didn’t come until after 8am.
