Take Your Classroom on the Road

May 09, 2017

Take Your Classroom on the RoadSpring time seems to be one of the most popular times for school field trips. With the school year winding down and testing take a back seat, there is time to prepare for fun learning experiences outside the classroom, Graduation celebrations and end of the year sporting events. While planning the logistics of a field trip can be challenging, hiring a charter bus for your events can make the process easier and more enjoyable.

Let’s get to it! Let’s plan a great field trip in the Orlando or Tampa Bay areas!

Why a Charter Bus?

While standard school buses can certainly get your staff and students from point A to point B, charter bus services can do so much more comfortably. When hiring a charter bus, you can select the size of vehicle you need, ranging from 14-passenger vans to 56-passenger buses, to best accommodate your group. Perhaps, your group’s size requires multiple buses in different sizes, that’s no problem at ESCOT. We are happy to help you figure out the logistics that work best for your group.

You can also rest assured that all coaches come with luxurious individual seats, ample leg room, and, for larger coaches, on board restrooms. The convenience of on board restrooms cannot be emphasized enough, it’s a huge timesaver because there is no need to stop the whole group for one person’s emergency.

Another bonus of charter buses in the on-board media and entertainment systems. The ESCOT fleet of buses comes equipped with audio-video equipment, flat screen monitors, and Wi-Fi access. For a school field trip, this allows the opportunity for teachers to engage students with an informational video on their way to a field trip, or coaches to inspire their athletes with a video on their way to a big game. Imagine a field trip scheduled for an art museum, the ride to the museum is a great opportunity for reviewing the names of famous artists and the time periods during which they lived. Teachers can then lead the group in a contest to determine which side of the bus knows more about the material.

When chartering with ESCOT Bus Lines, your faculty members will not have to worry about handling directions or route changes, as with other companies. When you ride ESCOT, that will all be taken care of by our staff of highly-trained and professional drivers. Before heading out on your trip, a route will have been planned with alternative routes also researched in case there is heavy traffic due to unforeseen incidents on the road.

Charter buses are the perfect option for any school field trip you might be planning this spring. With individual seat belts for each passenger, they’re safer than your average school bus while being cost effective, too.
