Repost from BHB-Bus Charters-My Price/Info Results on 13 Companies

I know some people don't like reposts but I had gotten a few questions from the 05'ers with respect to my research on the buses so I thought it was worth a repost.

I am a complete research fanatic and called 13 Bus companies on LI for various bus charters for my wedding. I had originally searched on here for bus info and found a lot of questions with respect to information/price requests (of course some will vary) for buses so I thought I would post my findings to help anyone in the future that is looking for a bus charter.

Thanks so much for posting this!! We need a big bus to transport the relatives to and from Queens since the reception is in Port Jeff and they will be drinking.

Have any brides out there used any of these companies?? Would love to hear from you.

a november bride - who had her wedding used alert and said they were good - her review is on the review board

There have been some problems with H&J - one bride did good the other one did not - but i think the one that did good came second and was very adament about everything - had someone with directions on the bus
