Why Manhattan Schools Choose Manhattan Coach Bus Service
We’ve been helping schools and educators arrange reliable transportation for years, so you can count on us to make your trip run smoothly from start to finish. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7 to answer your questions, walk you through the booking process, and provide you with a free quote tailored to your itinerary. Whether you need a single bus for a day trip to the Bronx Zoo or multiple vehicles for a week-long college tour across New York State, we’ll build a custom package that fits your schedule and your budget.
When you book with Manhattan Coach Bus Service, you’re getting access to one of the largest fleets in New York. That means we can find the perfect bus for your group’s size and needs—whether it’s a 56-passenger motorcoach with onboard restrooms and reclining seats, a 25-passenger minibus for quick trips around Manhattan, or an ADA-accessible vehicle equipped with wheelchair lifts and extra handrails. We also serve all five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island), Westchester County, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), and upstate cities like Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo.
Modern Buses With Premium Amenities
Give your students an upgrade from traditional yellow school buses by booking a modern charter bus with premium amenities. Your riders will stay entertained with free WiFi and flat-screen TVs, while chaperones can relax in reclining seats or catch up on work at fold-down tray tables. Need to show an educational video before arriving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Use the onboard DVD player and PA system to keep everyone engaged. And with climate control on every bus, you won’t have to worry about freezing winters or sweltering summers ruining your plans.
For longer trips outside Manhattan—like visiting the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park or touring Ivy League campuses in Ithaca and New Haven—choose a full-size coach with an onboard restroom, individual reading lights, and luggage bays large enough for overnight bags and project displays. Smaller groups can enjoy the same comfort features in a more compact package by booking a minibus or sprinter van.
Custom Itineraries for Every Type of School Trip
No two field trips are exactly alike, which is why we offer fully customized itineraries based on your specific destination, timetable, and points of interest. Planning a museum crawl from the Whitney in the Meatpacking District to the Guggenheim on Museum Mile? We’ll map out the most efficient route and handle all drop-off logistics. Taking a robotics team to compete at NYU Tandon School of Engineering in Downtown Brooklyn? Your bus will stay on-site until the event wraps up.
We also provide transportation for outdoor education at Central Park’s North Woods, theater matinees on Broadway, STEM workshops at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, and historical tours of Harlem’s Apollo Theater or Lower East Side Tenement Museum. If your school participates in citywide programs like Urban Advantage or Cool Culture, let us coordinate pickups from multiple campuses across Manhattan Community School Districts (CSD 1–6) and get everyone there on time.
Comfortable Transportation for Students and Chaperones
Field trips should be fun and educational—but they should also be comfortable! Instead of squeezing into a traditional school bus, your students can ride in a climate-controlled cabin with cushioned seats, individual reading lights, and overhead storage for backpacks. Onboard entertainment options like flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and free WiFi will help keep kids occupied during the drive, while chaperones can relax or catch up on emails.
If you’re planning a longer trip outside Manhattan—such as a visit to the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park or a college tour of SUNY campuses in Albany—you’ll appreciate having an onboard restroom and reclining seats that make the journey more pleasant for everyone.
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We know that school budgets are always tight, which is why we offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. When you request a quote from Manhattan Coach Bus Service, you’ll receive an all-inclusive price with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our team will work with you to find cost-saving solutions—such as sharing a bus with another class or traveling during off-peak hours—so you can maximize your funding without sacrificing quality.
The cost of renting a charter bus in Manhattan depends on several factors, including the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, and the time of year. To get an accurate estimate for your next field trip, call us today at 332-287-7530 or fill out our online form with details about your itinerary. We’re happy to provide quotes for single-day excursions, recurring shuttle services, and multi-day tours across New York State.
Serving All Manhattan Schools and Youth Organizations
Manhattan Coach Bus Service proudly serves public, private, and parochial schools across Manhattan Community School Districts 1–6, as well as charter networks like Success Academy and KIPP NYC. We also partner with after-school programs, summer camps, scouting troops, and nonprofit organizations that work with children and teens. Whether you’re based in Washington Heights, Chelsea, Chinatown, or the Upper East Side, we’ll send a bus to your location at whatever time works best for your schedule.
If your group includes members with disabilities, please let us know so we can provide an ADA-compliant vehicle with a wheelchair lift, priority seating, and accessible restroom facilities. We believe that every student deserves equal access to educational opportunities—and we’re committed to making that happen.
