DS Bus Lines came into the Beloit School District and turned a very negative transportation setup into an extremely positive system. The customer service that we now receive with our transportation is top notch.

They invest into your community and your school district. They are truly a partner and not just a contractor.
Jeff TravisSuperintendent USD 273, Beloit
DS Bus Lines has been our student transportation provider since April 2020 when they took over our transportation services during the COVID-19 pandemic. While not scheduled to take over these services until July 1, 2020, DS Bus Lines was more than accommodating with our request to accelerate our transition to their services.

DS Bus Lines are strong communicators, keeping us abreast of any challenges as well as providing easy access to their staff and leadership. We have received numerous compliments from parents and school staff on their responsiveness and customer service. Their performance has been second to none.
John HutchisonCPA, SFO, Deputy Superintendent for Business and Operations Olathe Public Schools
Communication is strong between the district team and DS leadership. When needed, they have been consistently available and responsive at all hours of the day. In the event of a school, parent or patron concern, they have worked in a very customer-service oriented and conscientious manner to resolve any possible issues. They listen, they respond, and take necessary steps to act in a proactive manner to prevent future concerns.

DS Bus Lines began its tenure in the Piper School District in June 2020 and we have been beyond satisfied with our transition.

As such, DS Bus Lines is a company in which we can proudly offer our whole­hearted stamp of approval.

DS Bus Lines has been the transportation contractor for USD 273 – Beloit for the last three years. We have seen a drastic change for the positive in our transportation services since DS Bus Lines took over our transportation. With DS Bus Lines the service is about the students; getting them to and from the needed points of travel in a safe and efficient manner is their priority.
Jeff TravisSuperintendent, Beloit
Last night one of our teachers had several issues with students being at the wrong place at the wrong time. She reported that the bus driver helped her get kids to the correct buses and even took a student home that was not on his route since all the other buses had been dismissed. I cannot tell you how much we appreciated his “top notch” customer service.
