Upgrade From Yellow School Buses: Seatbelts, A/C, WiFi, TVs & Restrooms
You'll love leaving outdated, bumpy yellow school buses behind when you upgrade your students to a modern motorcoach or minibus! Beat the Georgia heat with strong climate-controlled A/C, and ask for seatbelts, plush reclining seats, and an onboard restroom to cut down on unplanned highway pit stops! Students can stream educational videos on flat-screen TVs or finish assignments using onboard WiFi and individual power outlets. Meanwhile, chaperones can use the PA system to make announcements without shouting over the crowd! Just mention your must-have amenities when requesting your 30-second quote.

Next, head over to Sandy Creek Nature Center off Old Commerce Road (US-441), which offers a convenient circular turnaround right in front of the ENSAT building and dedicated bus parking on site! Want to see native Georgia wildlife up close?
