nashville upgrade from yellow school buses seatbelts a c wifi tvs and restrooms

From elementary classes visiting the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere off Nolensville Pike (which offers free, dedicated bus parking right on site!) to high school history classes touring Andrew Jackson's Hermitage or the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum (with motorcoach drop-off on Rep. John Lewis Way South near Demonbreun Street), upgrading from a standard yellow school bus makes a world of difference! Charter buses and minibuses in our network can come equipped with three-point seatbelts, plush reclining seats, and powerful climate control to beat the humid Tennessee heat. Keep students entertained and focused on longer long-distance school trips to Memphis, Chattanooga, or Knoxville with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, onboard WiFi, and individual power outlets. Plus, booking a full-size 56-passenger charter bus with a onboard restroom cuts down on unscheduled highway rest stops so your field trip stays right on track. Overhead parcel racks keep backpacks and sack lunches tidy inside the cabin while undercarriage storage bays hold band gear, science fair projects, or student athletic equipment. Whatever amenities your school district requires, you can compare photos and features side by side before you book!
