Q: I want to charter a bus for a day. How much is it going to cost me?
A: We don’t operate on a daily fixed rate, instead our prices are flexible to meet your needs. We base our pricing off a variety of factors including distance traveled.

Welcome back to FAQ Friday for this beautiful July day. It’s been one of the hottest summers on record here in Toronto, so I hope you’re all doing your best to beat the heat. Today we have a question about our area of service.
Q: I want to charter a bus to Buffalo, NY. How much is it going to cost me?
A: Unfortunately, our charters do not run across the border and into the United States. We are happy to take you and your group almost anywhere in Ontario and Quebec, but we don’t make trips to our good neighbours to the south. If you are looking for a reputable operator that does the cross the border, we are more than happy to help you find one. Good luck!
After a brief hiatus, we’re back with more Magic Bus FAQ fun. Today we are going to be answering a question regarding the code of conduct aboard a school bus.
Q: What is the expected code of conduct for passengers aboard one of your school buses?
A: The biggest concern for any bus operator is the safety of our guests. As such, the most imporant rules are:
1. Keep your arms and head inside the bus at all times.
2. Please stay seated while the bus is moving
But also:
3. Keep your seat clean
4. Try to minimize loud noises or any possible distractions for the driver. Remember, a safe trip starts with an alert driver.
These are just a baseline, and of course common courtesy is always appreciated. Enjoy your trip!
It’s a beautiful day out there, perfect time for a FAQ Friday. As always, we are answering some of the most common questions we get here at the Magic Bus Company. Today we will be discussing seating capacity.
Q: The size of our group could be changing before we confirm our booking. What are your school bus capacities, and can you help us out with larger groups?
A: Flexible transportation options is one of our great strengths: we are able to accommodate groups of almost any size. Our school buses have capacities of 24, 48 and 72 passengers. We’ll make sure your whole group, regardless of its size, will arrive safely and on time.
The weather in southern Ontario has been just gorgeous this past week, and it doesn’t look it’s going to let up any time soon.

We’ll take care of the details so that you can focus on soaking up that sun.
Groups large and small, give us a call: 416-516-7433.
