A Resource You Can Trust. Unfortunately, some school systems’ criteria for choosing a school transportation provider consists of only: “Do they have a license, do they have insurance, and are they the lowest bidder?”. A better question to ask is “Whom should I trust to drive my students around the block, across town, or to another city or state?”.

At James River Bus Lines and Carey Transportation, we have become the trusted resource for numerous school systems throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. This is due to our commitment to unparalleled safety, exceptional customer service, superior reliability, absolute integrity, and teamwork. Our vast network of transportation partners provides a reliable back up system in the event of any issues on longer trips. We have also been designated as a Pupil Transportation Safety Program approved carrier.

Our Drivers Are “School Friendly". All of our drivers are safe, reliable, and knowledgeable. To achieve this, we conduct pre-employment drug/alcohol screening of all of our drivers and random drug/alcohol tests while employed. We also conduct criminal background checks including the national sex offenders database. In addition, we provide our drivers with extensive customer service training.
