Bus size not what expected
In our proposal we asked for a bus that would accommodate 52 adults and we ended up with 51 total and the bus was not large enough to accommodate everyone with two per seat. Unfortunately one of our staff members had to drive her personal vehicle and take two other chaperones with her, putting us in a predicament. The bus drive was very friendly and flexible. We have used First Student several times and the bus did appear smaller than usual.
