Stay connected on the road with free onboard WiFi available on all our 56-passenger charter buses. Passengers can check email, stream videos, or share updates from anywhere between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, or even farther destinations without using their data plans.
Onboard Restrooms
Each 56-passenger bus comes equipped with a clean, fully functional restroom featuring a toilet and hand sanitizer. This amenity is ideal for nonstop trips down Highway 101, making fewer stops necessary when traveling to events at UCSB, Santa Barbara City College, or sports tournaments across Ventura County.
Onboard TVs
Entertain your group with multiple flat-screen TVs located throughout the cabin. These monitors support DVD/Blu-ray players and HDMI inputs, so you can show movies, training videos, or live broadcasts during longer rides to places like Disneyland, LAX, or Bay Area competitions.
Power Outlets
Keep devices charged thanks to individual power outlets and USB ports at every row. Whether students need laptops powered for a UCSB campus tour or business travelers require phones ready before meetings downtown, everyone stays plugged in throughout the journey.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Enjoy a comfortable ride year-round with advanced climate control systems and adjustable personal air vents above each seat. Buses stay cool during summer weddings at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and warm for winter excursions to mountain retreats or holiday parades along State Street.
Leather Seating
Relax in high-back reclining seats upholstered in soft leather or leatherette, designed for maximum comfort on long-distance charters. Ample legroom and footrests make it easy for passengers to stretch out whether heading to corporate retreats in Montecito or school trips up the coast.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store luggage, sports gear, or presentation materials easily with spacious overhead bins inside the cabin and large undercarriage bays below deck. There’s plenty of room for everything needed—whether it’s band instruments for a performance at Arlington Theatre or suitcases for a multi-day wine tour in Santa Ynez Valley.
