School Event Transportation From Madisoncharterbusrentals.com
In Madison, keeping your whole class together from the first bell to the final stop has never been easier! Say goodbye to bumpy, outdated yellow school buses and treat your students and chaperones to a modern, climate-controlled 56-passenger charter bus or a compact 25-passenger minibus with seat belts, cushioned reclining seats, onboard WiFi, TV monitors, and a PA system. Planning a civics tour at the Wisconsin State Capitol? Your driver can drop your students off right at the designated bus loading zone on North Hamilton Street and East Mifflin Street, then relocate to approved oversized parking along Wilson Street so nobody has to hike from a faraway garage! Heading to Henry Vilas Zoo for an elementary biology trip, or exploring the Madison Children’s Museum on the Capitol Square? Book a full-day package with multiple stops, and one bus stays with your class all day long!
