Why Rent a Bus in Manhattan With Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com?

New York City is one of the most exciting places on earth to bring a group — and one of the most logistically complicated. According to the INRIX 2025 Global Traffic Scorecard, New York City drivers lose 102 hours per year to congestion — the second-worst in the United States. Midtown Manhattan during peak hours (7–9 a.m. and 4–7 p.m.) is among the most congested stretches of road anywhere in the country.

Parking a single car in Midtown can run $50–$80 for a few hours, and coordinating a group of 30 across a dozen rideshares on a Friday night in the Theater District is a logistical nightmare. One bus solves all of it. And with Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com, finding that bus takes under 30 seconds!

Why limit yourself to one company's fleet? Compare Manhattan charter buses, minibuses, party buses, and sprinter vans from a network of local and regional providers — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Whether you have an exact itinerary in mind or need a couple of suggestions, a live support team can work with you to make it happen. Call 646-369-1450 for a quick, easy price quote — or use the online tool for instant online pricing!

Manhattan, New York Charter Bus Rental Prices

With quotes in less than a minute and multiple bus suppliers available, there is no easier way to find bus rentals in Manhattan that fit your budget! Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com helps you get bus pricing online in under 30 seconds so you can instantly search and compare rates through a large bus network. Enter your date, group size, and pickup location to unlock instant pricing from a network of bus companies serving Manhattan — no account needed.

Pricing depends on the bus model and size, how many stops, the time of year, and any extra amenities your group needs. A 15-passenger minibus for a hotel-to-venue loop in Midtown prices very differently than a 56-passenger motorcoach for a multi-day run to Boston or Washington DC. And in Manhattan, a few calendar dates change the entire picture — New Year's Eve, the NYC Marathon, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and prom season across the metro all drive demand and pricing up significantly.

The earlier you compare, the better your options.

Manhattan, New York Airport Shuttles & Transportation

Three major airports serve Manhattan, and each one comes with its own logistics puzzle for groups. A private bus rental solves all three.

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) (Jamaica, Queens, NY 11430) is approximately 15–19 miles southeast of Midtown via the Queens–Midtown Tunnel and the LIE. For groups with luggage, the AirTrain-to-subway connection is a genuine ordeal — a direct charter bus or minibus to your hotel or venue is the straightforward answer. Charter bus pickup at JFK is coordinated at the arrivals curb of your specific terminal; confirm your terminal with your group coordinator before wheels down, and do not call for the bus until every bag is in hand and the group is together at the curb.

JFK's terminal loop is actively enforced, and commercial vehicles cannot stage curbside while passengers trickle out of baggage claim.

LaGuardia Airport (LGA) (East Elmhurst, Queens, NY 11371) is approximately 8–10 miles northeast of Midtown — close enough that groups sometimes underestimate the travel time. LaGuardia has no rail connection at all, which makes private group ground transport especially practical here. Arrivals-level pickup is at the designated commercial vehicle zone outside baggage claim for your terminal; the new Terminal B and Terminal C/D facility each have their own approach roads.

Check the LaGuardia ground transportation page for current commercial vehicle staging zones before your arrival date.

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) (Newark, NJ 07114) is approximately 15–18 miles southwest of Midtown via the NJ Turnpike and Lincoln Tunnel. EWR is a strong option for groups whose hotels or venues are on the west side of Manhattan — the Lincoln Tunnel puts the bus in Midtown in under 30 minutes off-peak. Charter bus pickup at EWR is at the arrivals curb of your terminal; Terminals A, B, and C each have designated ground transportation zones.

Confirm yours on the EWR ground transportation page before your flight lands.

One detail matters at all three airports: gather every passenger and every bag before calling for the bus. NYC's 3-minute commercial idling cap (stricter than the state's 5-minute rule) means the bus cannot sit at the curb waiting — it stages nearby and pulls up when the group is ready to board. Done in that order, loading takes two minutes.

Done out of order, the bus circles and everyone waits.

Manhattan Corporate Event Transportation

A corporate event in New York has enough moving parts without transportation becoming one of them — so let Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com make it the easy part! The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (655 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001) is one of the most active convention venues in the country, and charter buses stage on 11th Avenue between 34th and 40th Streets, with a dedicated bus and motorcoach staging area on the north side of the facility accessible from 11th Avenue. Advance arrangements through Javits event management are required for large groups — contact the venue directly to confirm your staging assignment and approach road before your event date.

For employee shuttles between Midtown offices and off-site meeting spaces, a minibus or full-size motorcoach handles the cross-town run far more reliably than a dozen separate rideshares during the 4–7 p.m. peak. The Lincoln Tunnel Exclusive Bus Lane (XL Bus Lane) operates inbound — New Jersey to Manhattan — on weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m., giving charter buses a genuine structural time advantage over cars for groups arriving from New Jersey campuses. No car gets that lane.

A charter bus does.

Need a shuttle loop between Grand Central Terminal (89 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017) and a conference hotel in Hudson Yards? A recurring employee commuter route from Westchester or Long Island? A full fleet of coaches for a company-wide off-site? Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com connects you to the right vehicle at the right price — compare packages from a network of bus companies serving Manhattan and the entire metro area!

Manhattan Bachelor & Bachelorette Transportation

Your bachelorette night in New York doesn't have to end because the rideshare apps are surging! A Manhattan party bus keeps the celebration rolling from the first cocktail to the last call — on your schedule, not the app's. Start with rooftop drinks at 230 Fifth (1150 Broadway, New York, NY 10001), then hit the Theater District for a Broadway show, head downtown to Le Bain at The Standard (848 Washington St, New York, NY 10014) in the Meatpacking District, and close the night at a club in the Lower East Side — all without anyone in the group splitting off to find their own way back to the hotel.

The Theater District and Times Square area (42nd–53rd Streets between 6th and 9th Avenues) has active enforcement against commercial vehicle staging on the main avenues, so party buses in this area typically stage on 10th or 11th Avenue and meet passengers at a pre-arranged corner. Plan your meet point before the show ends — sidewalks fill up fast after curtain, and having a specific corner locked in means the group loads in two minutes instead of twenty. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus comes with a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, and flat-panel TVs to keep the energy exactly where it should be from the first pickup to the last drop-off!

Manhattan Birthday, Sweet 16, & Quinceañera Party Bus Rentals

A milestone birthday in New York City deserves an entrance — and a party bus arrival is one of the most memorable ones you can make! Whether the celebration is heading to a rooftop venue in Midtown, a private event space in Brooklyn, or a dinner reservation in the West Village, Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com lets you compare party buses from a network of local companies so you can find the right size and the right amenities for your date. You can even request white, black, or silver vehicles to match your event's colors.

Planning a quinceañera or Sweet 16 in the New York metro? The spring and early summer calendar fills fast across the five boroughs and surrounding suburbs — especially on Saturdays in May and June, which overlap with prom season. The earlier you compare, the more options you'll have.

Use Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com's online quote tool to see what's available for your date in under 30 seconds — or call 646-369-1450 and a live agent will build a package around your itinerary!

Manhattan Homecoming & Prom Party Bus Rentals

Prom season in the New York metro — April through June — is one of the single busiest stretches of the year for party bus and charter bus rentals across Manhattan, the boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. Every high school in the region has its prom scheduled in the same narrow window, and the buses go fast. Waiting until March to look for a May prom bus in New York is how groups end up with limited options and premium pricing.

Book by December or January for the best selection and the best rate.

Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com makes it easy to compare party buses and minibuses for prom across the entire New York metro — browse vehicle photos, amenities, and pricing from a network of bus companies all in one place, no account needed!

Manhattan Sporting Event Transportation

New York's sports calendar is relentless — and game-day parking and transit in this city is a sport in itself. A charter bus or party bus takes the whole group there together and brings everyone back, without anyone splitting into separate cars or waiting in a rideshare line after the final whistle.

Madison Square Garden (4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001) hosts the Knicks, the Rangers, and some of the biggest concerts and boxing matches in the world. Charter buses drop off on 31st–33rd Streets between 7th and 8th Avenues; buses cannot stage on 7th or 8th Avenue during events, and 33rd Street between 7th and 8th often closes 2 hours before major events. There is no on-site charter bus parking at MSG — operators stage in the West Side yards area (11th–12th Avenues, 30th–34th Streets) and return for pickup.

Confirm current street-closure details on the MSG directions and parking page before your event date.

Heading to Yankee Stadium (1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451) for a Yankees game? Charter buses drop off on River Avenue at 161st Street at the designated commercial zone, with bus parking available in Parking Lot 14 (1 Ruppert Place) for oversized vehicles — advance arrangements required through Yankees Group Sales. Check the Yankee Stadium transportation page before your game day to confirm current lot assignments and approach roads.

A party bus with a built-in bar and a Bluetooth sound system keeps the pregame energy exactly where it belongs — on the bus, before you even reach the Bronx.

Mets fans heading to Citi Field (41 Seaver Way, Queens, NY 11368) will find charter bus drop-off on 126th Street off Roosevelt Avenue, with Lot K designated for oversized vehicles — advance purchase required; rates vary by event. The Citi Field parking page has current lot and approach details. And for Giants and Jets fans making the trip across the Hudson to MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073), charter buses enter via the dedicated bus/coach gate on Paterson Plank Road and park in Lot 1 — advance permits required through MetLife Group Services.

Check the MetLife Stadium getting-here page for current permit and pricing details.

Stop calling company after company. Fill out one form to compare pricing from a network of bus companies serving Manhattan and the entire New York metro!

Manhattan Concert & Event Transportation

Did you score tickets to a show at Radio City Music Hall (1260 6th Ave, New York, NY 10020) or a Broadway opening night? Charter buses drop off on 50th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues for Radio City; note that 6th Avenue itself has active bus lanes enforced by camera, so the approach is from the side streets. Buses stage on 10th or 11th Avenue and return for pickup — and for Broadway shows, plan your post-curtain meet point before you go in, because the Theater District sidewalks fill within minutes of the final bow.

Instead of sending your group into the Times Square rideshare surge after a show, a charter bus or minibus is already staged and ready to go. One vehicle, one pickup, and the whole group rides home together — no splitting up, no app surge, no hunting for a meet point in a crowd of thousands. Compare concert bus rentals from a network of bus companies serving Manhattan in seconds using the online quote tool!

Manhattan Wedding Transportation & Shuttle Service

A New York City wedding has enough moving pieces without transportation becoming one of them. Whether your ceremony is at The Plaza Hotel (768 5th Ave, New York, NY 10019), your reception is in a loft in Dumbo, Brooklyn, or your rehearsal dinner is at a restaurant in the West Village, a Manhattan wedding charter bus keeps every guest on schedule and together from the first pickup to the last hotel return.

Most out-of-town guests stay in Midtown hotels — a natural pickup loop that works beautifully for a minibus or full-size coach. You can request white, black, or silver vehicles to match your wedding palette, and you can book the bus for the entire weekend: rehearsal dinner Friday, ceremony and reception Saturday, and a farewell brunch shuttle Sunday morning. Cross-borough runs — from a Midtown hotel to a venue in Brooklyn or Queens — are completely routine for the network.

And for the bachelorette group, a party bus keeps the celebration rolling from rooftop cocktails to a late-night last call without anyone worrying about getting back to the hotel.

Peak wedding season in New York runs May through October, and Saturdays fill fast. Compare available vehicles and lock in your date early — call 646-369-1450 to get started!

Manhattan School Field Trip & School Event Transportation

Forget the stress of coordinating parent carpools through Midtown traffic for your next field trip. A charter bus or minibus keeps every student and chaperone on one vehicle, on one itinerary, with no one getting separated in the subway or lost in a crowd.

The American Museum of Natural History (200 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024) welcomes school groups with advance reservations; buses drop off on 77th Street or 81st Street along Central Park West, with staging on the side streets west of the museum. The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028) requires advance group reservations for groups of 10 or more — contact [email protected] or call the venue directly at 212-570-3711; buses drop off at the white-zone loading area on 5th Avenue between 80th and 84th Streets. The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, W 46th St & 12th Ave, New York, NY 10036) has a dedicated bus loading area on 12th Avenue at 46th Street, with staging along the Pier 86 approach road.

ADA-accessible buses are available through the network — just mention it when you request your quote. Charterbusservicesmanhattan.com makes it easy to match the bus to your student-and-chaperone headcount so the whole class rides together in one vehicle!

Manhattan Private Event Transportation Services

Family reunion heading to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum (180 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10007)? Buses drop off at the designated commercial zone on Liberty Street between Greenwich and West Streets; there is no on-site bus parking in the Financial District, so operators stage in the Hudson Yards area or across the Hudson in New Jersey. Planning a group visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island?

Ferries depart from Battery Park near State Street and Battery Place (New York, NY 10004) — buses drop off on State Street or Battery Place, and Statue Cruises strongly recommends advance group reservations through statuecruises.com. Bus staging near Battery Park is available at Pier 40 (353 West St, New York, NY 10014), approximately 1.3 miles north, while the group is on the ferry.

Organizing a group trip to Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center (30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112)? Buses drop off on 49th or 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues and stage on the 10th/11th Avenue corridor. Need a day trip to the Hamptons or a run up to Niagara Falls?

The network covers long-distance trips too. Whatever the occasion, compare private event bus rentals from a network of companies serving Manhattan and the entire New York metro — all in one place!

Manhattan Long-Distance Charter Bus Rentals

Manhattan is one of the great hub cities for long-distance group travel in the Northeast — and a full-size motorcoach with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and undercarriage luggage bays makes the journey as comfortable as the destination. Groups regularly book Manhattan charter buses for runs to Philadelphia (~95 miles via the NJ Turnpike, 1.5–2.5 hours), Washington DC (~225 miles via I-95, 4–5 hours), Boston (~215 miles via I-95, 4–5 hours), and Niagara Falls (via I-87 north, 6–7 hours). Ski weekends to the Catskills or Vermont, casino trips to Atlantic City, and college visits across New England are all easy runs for the network.

Compare long-distance motorcoaches from a network of bus companies serving Manhattan — find the vehicle with the amenities your group needs and the pricing that fits your budget, all in one place!

Popular Manhattan Bus Rental Destinations

A Manhattan itinerary can pack in enough to keep your group moving from morning to midnight. Stadiums to museums, Broadway to the waterfront, Midtown to the outer boroughs — whatever brings your group to New York, a charter bus or party bus keeps everyone together and on schedule. With a large network of bus companies at your fingertips, you'll always find easy group transportation to your next destination.

Madison Square Garden

Madison Square Garden is one of the most famous arenas in the world — home of the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers, and a venue for some of the biggest concerts, boxing matches, and events on the planet. Its location above Penn Station in the heart of Midtown makes it easy to reach by bus, but the surrounding streets are among the most congested in the city on event nights.

Charter buses drop off on 31st–33rd Streets between 7th and 8th Avenues. Buses cannot stage on 7th or 8th Avenue during events, and 33rd Street between 7th and 8th often closes 2 hours before major events. There is no on-site charter bus parking at MSG — operators stage in the West Side yards area (11th–12th Avenues, 30th–34th Streets) and return for post-event pickup.

Pre-arrange your pickup corner before the event ends, because the Penn Station area is one of the most congested blocks in the city immediately after any major event.

Confirm current street-closure schedules and approach roads on the MSG directions and parking page before your event date, since assignments shift by event.

Address: 4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001 Phone: (212) 465-6741

Jacob K. Javits Convention Center

The Javits Center is the largest convention center in the Northeast — an 850,000-square-foot facility on the Hudson River waterfront that hosts New York Comic Con, the New York Auto Show, the International Toy Fair, and hundreds of trade shows and corporate events every year. It is a natural hub for charter bus shuttles between convention hotels in Midtown and the venue itself.

Charter buses stage and drop off on 11th Avenue between 34th and 40th Streets, with a dedicated bus and motorcoach staging area on the north side of the facility accessible from 11th Avenue. Advance arrangements through Javits event management are required for large groups. For current staging assignments and approach road details, check the Javits Center getting-here page before your event date — assignments vary by show.

New York Comic Con (October) and the New York Auto Show (April) are two of the highest-demand stretches for charter buses in the entire metro — book well in advance for either event.

Address: 655 W 34th St, New York, NY 10001 Phone: (212) 216-2000

Broadway Theater District

The Broadway Theater District — roughly 44th through 52nd Streets between 7th and 8th Avenues — is one of the most active group transportation corridors in Manhattan. Shows run Tuesday through Sunday, with Wednesday and Saturday matinees, and most Broadway houses seat 1,000 to 1,900 people. When a show lets out, the surrounding sidewalks fill within minutes.

Most Broadway houses have white-zone commercial loading on their block for drop-off; buses clear immediately after unloading and do not stage on the main Theater District avenues. The standard staging corridor for charter buses serving Broadway is 10th and 11th Avenues between 40th and 55th Streets. Pre-arrange your post-show meet point before you go in — a specific corner (the corner of 8th Ave and 45th St, or the 46th Street side of the Marriott Marquis at 1535 Broadway, are common choices) keeps the group from scattering in the crowd after curtain.

Tony Awards week in June is the single busiest week of the Broadway season for group transportation — book early for any June date.

Theater District general area: 44th–52nd Streets between 7th and 8th Avenues, New York, NY 10036

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Met is one of the largest and most visited art museums in the world, with a permanent collection of more than two million works spanning 5,000 years of human culture. It is a top destination for school field trips, cultural tours, and private group visits from across the country.

Charter buses drop off at the white-zone loading area on 5th Avenue between 80th and 84th Streets, directly in front of the main entrance. Central Park's interior drives are closed to commercial vehicles during car-free hours (weekdays 10 a.m.–3 p.m. and 7–10 p.m.; weekends all day), so buses stage on 5th Avenue metered commercial zones or on Madison Avenue. Groups of 10 or more must make advance reservations — contact [email protected] or call the venue directly at (212) 570-3711.

Check the Met group visits page for current admission and reservation details before your visit.

Address: 1000 5th Ave, New York, NY 10028 Phone: (212) 535-7710

Times Square

Times Square is the most visited tourist destination in the United States — and one of the most logistically challenging places in Manhattan for any kind of ground transportation. The active pedestrian plazas on Broadway between 42nd and 47th Streets, combined with heavy NYPD enforcement of commercial vehicle rules, mean that buses do not stage in Times Square itself.

For group drop-off near Times Square, buses typically use the side streets just west — 41st or 43rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues — for quick unloading, then immediately clear to the 10th/11th Avenue staging corridor. On New Year's Eve, the area between 38th and 57th Streets between 6th and 8th Avenues closes to all vehicles from early afternoon through the early hours of January 1 — buses stage on 10th and 11th Avenues well outside the closure zone. If your group is heading to the Times Square Ball Drop, plan your staging and meet point before midnight, not after.

General area: Broadway & 7th Ave between 42nd and 47th Streets, New York, NY 10036

Central Park

Central Park's 843 acres run from 59th Street to 110th Street between 5th Avenue and Central Park West — the green heart of Manhattan and a destination for walking tours, picnics, concerts at SummerStage, and private events at venues like Tavern on the Green (67th Street and Central Park West, New York, NY 10023) and The Loeb Boathouse (East 72nd Street, inside the park, New York, NY 10021).

Commercial vehicles are not permitted on Central Park's interior drives during car-free hours (weekdays 10 a.m.–3 p.m. and 7–10 p.m.; weekends all day). Buses drop off at the park perimeter streets — 5th Avenue, Central Park West, 72nd Street at the park entrance, or 110th Street — and stage on the adjacent avenues. For events at Tavern on the Green, the drop-off is on Central Park West at 67th Street; for the Boathouse, the nearest bus drop is on 5th Avenue at 72nd Street with a short walk into the park.

Address (main south entrance): Grand Army Plaza, 5th Ave & 59th St, New York, NY 10019

Right there on the booking platform, you can browse vehicle photos, compare packages, and book the bus you want online, all in minutes. If you prefer to talk it through, a support team is available every day of the year at 646-369-1450.

How much does a charter bus rental cost in Manhattan?

Charter bus rental prices in Manhattan vary based on vehicle size, the date, how many hours you need the bus, and how many stops are on the itinerary. New York City is one of the most demand-driven markets in the country — a Saturday night party bus during prom season or New Year's Eve prices very differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer. The fastest way to see pricing for your specific trip is to use the 30-second online quote tool or call 646-369-1450 for a personalized quote.

You'll see exact pricing before you book, with no account required.

What is the congestion pricing toll for buses entering Manhattan?

As of June 2025, the MTA's Central Business District Tolling Program charges a toll for most vehicles entering Manhattan south of 60th Street. Buses pay $21.60 per crossing under the 2025 published rate. This is a venue and operating cost — it is not included in a quote from this site.

Factor it into your trip budget when planning, and confirm the current rate on the MTA congestion pricing page before your travel date, as rates are subject to change.

How far in advance should I book a charter bus in Manhattan?

Book three to six months out for most Manhattan trips, and stretch that to six months or more for the city's highest-demand dates. New Year's Eve, the NYC Marathon (November 1, 2026), Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (November 26, 2026), prom season (April–June), the US Open at Flushing Meadows (August 25–September 7, 2026), New York Fashion Week (February and September), and Yankees home games all drive enormous demand across the entire metro at once. Waiting until the last minute in New York means premium pricing and very limited availability — book as early as you can to get the best vehicle at the best price.

Where do charter buses drop off near Times Square?

Buses do not stage in Times Square itself. For group drop-off near Times Square, buses typically use the side streets just west — 41st or 43rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues — for quick unloading, then immediately clear to the 10th/11th Avenue staging corridor. On New Year's Eve, the area between 38th and 57th Streets between 6th and 8th Avenues closes to all vehicles from early afternoon through early January 1.

Plan your staging point and your group meet point before the event, not after.

Where do charter buses stage in Midtown Manhattan?

10th and 11th Avenues between 34th and 57th Streets are the primary charter bus staging corridors for Midtown events. This corridor is far enough from the pedestrian congestion of 7th, 8th, and 9th Avenues to avoid enforcement issues, and close enough to reach any Midtown venue in under 10 minutes. For Theater District shows, the 10th/11th Avenue corridor between 40th and 55th Streets is the standard staging area.

Buses return to pick up passengers at a pre-arranged corner when the event ends — plan that corner before you go in.

Does the Lincoln Tunnel bus lane give charter buses a time advantage?

Yes — and it's one of the clearest cases where a charter bus has a structural time advantage over personal vehicles in this market. The Lincoln Tunnel Exclusive Bus Lane (XL Bus Lane) operates inbound — New Jersey to Manhattan — on weekday mornings from 6 to 10 a.m., allowing buses to bypass significant car-traffic backup on the approach to the tunnel. No personal vehicle gets access to that lane.

A charter bus from a New Jersey airport or hotel on a weekday morning can arrive in Midtown significantly faster than a car on the same route during that window.

Can a charter bus take my group to Philadelphia, Boston, or Washington DC?

Absolutely. Long-distance runs are routine for the network. Philadelphia is approximately 95 miles via the NJ Turnpike — roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic.

Washington DC is approximately 225 miles via I-95 — roughly 4 to 5 hours. Boston is approximately 215 miles via I-95 — roughly 4 to 5 hours. Full-size motorcoaches for long-distance trips include reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and large undercarriage luggage bays.

Compare available motorcoaches for your long-distance trip using the online quote tool or call 646-369-1450 for a custom package!

Are ADA-accessible buses available in Manhattan?

Yes, ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair ramps, wider aisle space, and accessible onboard features are available through the network. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or when you call 646-369-1450, and the support team will make sure your options include the right vehicle for your group.
