The trip went great
The trip went great. The driver was very easy to work with.
My only concern was the inability to contact anyone the day of our event. The bus was a little late arriving so I tried to call. The contract gave a phone number to use in case we had a need. When I tried to call multiple times no one answered. I left a message as directed and I still haven’t received a response.
Lisa and Nicole were amazing
Lisa and Nicole were amazing. Our entire crew loved them. They made the ride so fun and enjoyable.
Bus was clean and trip went beyond smooth.
Thank you Nicole and Lisa!!!
Confusion and delays
Our trip confirmation email had the wrong dispatch location. None of the locations seemed to have our confirmed trip in their system. Bus was over an hour late to pick our students up to travel to camp, and nearly an hour late for our return trip, even though we called and confirmed the trip was on the books and arrival/departure times.

Buses were perfect. Clean and warm. Drivers were kind and helpful. One driver was late but only by a few minutes and called to say she was lost. Super thankful to the drivers for spending Christmas eve taking us to the game. YCKC will remember First Charter for future needs.
The bus driver we had was amazing
The bus driver we had was amazing. She was early and was very communicative with us. She did everything perfectly.
late and scary
No one got back to me with a quote via email or phone after multiple calls and emails which has happened many times.
Driver was 25 minutes late which made us late for our field trip. The driver was scary and not super safe. He was very nice but we were all very nervous.
The actual bus and driver were great…
The actual bus and driver were great what I didn’t like was the communication. No one reached out to me after they confirmed my ride so when the day came I had no idea if someone was coming to get my party. They did end up coming but a few minutes late which made us start to think they were not coming.
