We used Metropolitan Shuttle for a 1-day tour for a group of 20 people. Everything was simple starting from the reservation process and finishing with the tour itself. The reservation was quick, contract is clear, the price is very competitive. We had a very knowledgeable and polite driver. He was always on time. Communication with all Metropolitan Shuttle personnel was easy throughout the process. I highly recommend this company! Thank...

It was great not to have to fight the traffic of Washington DC while reading a map in the area that you're not familiar with. Drivers were nice and courteous and patient with us.

Craig was on time and got us to our restaurant safely. Same for the return trip. Suspension in bus was below average. It bounced hard on minor road bumps.

Metropolitan Shuttle provided a great service for the children going to an amusement park in Long Island New York. The service from the initial request to the very end was clear and very professional. Al was very good at setting things up for us and the drivers for the 3 buses were very professional. They arrived 2 hours early and were very patient. Everyone was super happy that we did...

Columbus Charter Buses

Columbus is the capital of Ohio and home to Ohio State University, as well as 860,000 people. The city’s economy runs on research, banking, defense, aviation, and more: five Fortune 500 companies make their headquarters there, and Columbus has been called one of the best cities in the Midwest by magazines like BusinessWeek and Money.

If you’re in town for an event, there’s no better company to help you rent a charter bus in Columbus, Ohio than Metropolitan Shuttle. What makes Columbus special? Districts like Short North, where art galleries and restaurants abound and events like the monthly Gallery Hop bring an injection of culture to the city. The German Village lends an historic flavor to the city with cobblestone streets and diverse architecture. But there are plenty of modern amenities as well, from shopping at the Easton Town Center to sports at the Nationwide Arena or concerts at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.

Here are just a few of the things you can see and do from the vantage point of a charter bus in Columbus.

Easton Town Center

The Easton Town Center is a shopping complex intended to be reminiscent of a mid-20th-century town. Its homey charm attracts 25 million visitors a year to its over 240 retail shops, including a Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, Apple Store, Trader Joe’s, American Eagle, Macy’s, as well as the 30-screen AMC Dine-in Movie Theatre. The Easton Town Center is divided into several areas. The south district is devoted to concerts and events, while the dining district includes everything from a Cheesecake Factory to Panera Bread.

Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens

Home to over four hundred plant species, the Franklin Park Conservatory appears on the National Register of Historic Places. The ninety-acre facility recently became the first of its kind to feature a seasonal butterfly exhibition, showing off tropical butterflies in its Pacific Island Water Garden since 1994. The gardens also include classrooms, a library, a gift shop, and a cafe where visitors can relax and take in the natural splendor. The Franklin Park Conservatory is the perfect destination for a bus rental in Columbus.

Ohio Theatre

Book a Columbus charter bus for a day at the theater! The “Official State Theatre of the State of Ohio” and a national historic landmark, the Ohio Theatre of Columbus stands on the site of the old Columbus City Hall. It first opened as a Spanish Baroque movie palace in 1928, and ran films until its closing in 1969. Thanks to the efforts of the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA), the theater was restored through the 1970s and remains open to this day for theatrical performances, orchestra shows, and large musicals.

Ohio Stadium

Are you ready for some football? Gather your friends onto a party bus rental in Columbus, Ohio and head for the stadium. Known as “the Horseshoe,” the Ohio Stadium is home to the Ohio Buckeyes football team, but also plays host to the OSU University Marching Band, as well as a past venue for such bands as Metallica, Pink Floyd, and the Rolling Stones. Built in 1922, the stadium had an initial capacity of 66,000 people, which has since grown to over 104,000 — making it the third largest football stadium in the U.S. In 2014, the stadium installed permanent lights, making regular night games possible for the first time.

Center for Science and Industry (COSI)

The Center for Science and Industry opened in 1964 as a science museum with over 300 interactive exhibits. COSI is noted for having one of the most extensive outreach programs in the U.S., including a COSI on Wheels program and distance learning and video conferencing programs. Its many exhibits include an ocean exhibit with an “underwater cave,” a space exhibit including a replica of John Glenn’s Friendship 7 capsule, and many hands-on experiments for students to explore science and industry.
