In addition to the services provided to universities and athletic teams, Cardinal Buses also provides bus charters for large church groups, school field trips, or tour groups wishing to travel throughout the U.S. and Canada.
"We encourage college and university travel coordinators to research their motorcoach carrier by asking for their U.S. DOT number and running it through the results found at www.safersys.org, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Website" said Dan Shoup, vice president of Cardinal Buses. "We also encourage travel coordinators to make a site visit to any potential motorcoach carrier's facilities to see firsthand the carrier's fleet, inspect their preventive maintenance program, and to inquire about the experience of the operations staff including mechanics and drivers."
