[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a good web/mobile device tool called SaferBus by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that can help consumers evaluate the safety of bus companies before taking a trip. Bus safety (poorly maintained vehicles, tired driver, etc) would be my main concern in the field trip scenario described. [/quote] Serious question -- what is of concern in the bus situation in a field trip to the Poconos?[/quote] The trip itself is not the serious concern, but if the company has a bad record on hours of service compliance, they may have sleepy drivers. The may have a history of poor tire or brake maintenance. Well-meaning schools may choose the lowest bidder and assume it's safe. Overall, bus travel is very safe, but there are some companies that fly below the radar and don't operate safely. Why not check their scores for peace of mind or ask your school to check it when they are hiring a company to charter a trip?[/quote]
