Do not use US Coachways

They simply schedule with another company and then take a cut. Team 56 is frantically working on finding a new bus for our trip today to St. Louis but chances are slim. We have heard from a multitude of other teams about bad experiences with this bus company. So please, don't book from them.

Thank you

So sorry to hear of this team 56! Our team had the exact same thing happen to us last year on the Tuesday morning we departed for the Championship that sent us into a mad scramble.

We worked with our school district and got approval to drive out to St. Louis in rented 12 passenger vans with no more than 10 people in them. Your results may vary with your school district but in the end it was cheaper to drive with an overnight stay over using a bus.
