School Bus Service: School Bus Service is free to full-time students in Bermuda and Bermudians who are not above the age of 18 and who are student overseas. All buses servicing school routes must be clean and in good working condition. At times, public buses are supplemented with minibuses due to shortages in manpower or vehicles. If service cannot be delivered to a school, notice is given to the respective school by way of a telephone call, subsequent voicemail message and an email to the administrative office of the school.

Charter Service: Charter Service is provided according to client requests and is charged by the hour from the time the bus leaves the depot to the time it returns at $185.00 per hour [$278.00 per hour premium rate]. Estimates are provided upon request. All buses servicing charters must be clean, in good working condition and on time. Every effort is made to assign our latest model buses; however, there is no guarantee that a particular bus will be assigned to a particular trip. The Dispatcher selects the bus to be assigned to each charter from among the best buses that are available for service at the time that the charter is due to depart. Charter service is temporarily suspended due to vehicle and manpower shortages.

Sightseeing Service: Sightseeing Service is a special charter trip with continuous commentary, describing points of interest by the bus operator or any other person on the bus while in route. The passengers are returned to the location in which the tour originated, or to a point in the general vicinity. All buses servicing sightseeing tours must be clean, in good working condition and on time. Every effort is made to assign our latest model buses that have the lower back seat; however, there is no guarantee that a particular bus will be assigned to a particular trip. The Dispatcher selects the bus to be assigned to each sightseeing tour from among the best buses that are available for service at the time that the tour is due to depart. Sightseeing is temporarily suspended.

Special Event Shuttles: Special Event Shuttles are designed to transport participants of an event from one location to another. Charges for these shuttles are calculated on the standard hourly rate of $185 [$278.00 per hour premium rate].
