Columbia Charter Bus

Columbia is the capital of South Carolina, as well as its largest city. The University of South Carolina calls Columbia home, as well as Fort Jackson, the largest Army Basic Training installation in the United States. Columbia is a city with a diverse economy, a rich arts and culture scene, and some of the best kayaking in the country.

While much of the city is pedestrian-friendly — most notably downtown, the University area, Five Points and the Vista — one of the best ways to see the sights is via charter bus rental. Columbia, SC is one of many served by Metropolitan Shuttle, and we offer everything from limo vans and party buses and more. Here are just a few of the sights you can see when you rent a bus from Metropolitan Shuttle in Columbia, SC.

With over 2,000 animals on display, there’s plenty to enjoy for any animal lover. Exhibits at the Riverbanks Zoo include the Riverbanks Farm, where visitors can feed the goats; Conservation Outpost, which acts as home for threatened species like tree kangaroos; and Kangaroo Walkabout, where one can view wallabies and red kangaroos. The accompanying botanical gardens feature 4,200 species of plants — a perfect educational destination for a school bus rental and a trip to Columbia, SC’s best zoo.
