I'm trying to find names of private bus companies for the upcoming school year. DC is entering K and I know that she is eligible for a yellow bus. We live far enough away from the school, though, that I think she will be picked up really early and perhaps a private bus would eliminate some of the commute time if it doesn't have to make as many stops as a DOE bus. I have searched prior posts, but am having trouble finding names of providers. Thanks! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I tried to arrange a private bus for my child at a private school that did not offer bussing. Could not pull it off. You really need a critical mass of kids to make it economical. Names include Emanuel and Selby. There are many others. Can't remember names right now, but we called several and could not make it work. Also looked at KidCar NY, but too expensive to do everyday. Where are you going from/to? [ Reply | More

your bus will be fine. It will shoot straight up 3rd avenue. You will have a pick up in the 40s on 3rd avenue. Going against traffic. [ Reply | More

you need 10 kids going to your school to do the private bus. It's not like you alone can contract with the bus company. Plus, fyi, our private bus takes a long time. It's no faster than the DOE bus would be if we were eligable for the DOE bus. [ Reply | More
