Matched To Your Group, Built For This City

Every vehicle in our network is inspected, insured, and rated for NYC commercial operation. We’ll recommend the right size for your group and route.

Coach Bus

40-56 PASSENGERS

For large groups seeking a comfortable ride with reclining seats and quality amenities.

Mini-bus

For mid-size groups without the need for extra capacity of a full-size motor coach.

Luxury & Party Bus

18-56 PASSENGERS

Moving a group through Manhattan isn’t like moving one anywhere else. Narrow streets, strict loading zones, congestion pricing, garage constraints, event surges around Madison Square Garden, the Javits Center, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center all add up to a logistical challenge that generic charter companies consistently underestimate.

We don’t underestimate it. Our experts know Manhattan block by block. Our network drivers are trained on NYC Commercial Vehicle restrictions, NYPD special event protocols, and borough-specific routing. When your group needs to be somewhere on time in this city, experience isn’t a selling point. It’s a requirement.

Our church used Metropolitan to transport 80+ youth to South Jersey…The company was particularly helpful in accommodating our change when we needed to leave earlier in anticipation of the blizzard.

Had such a wonderful experience with this bus company from start to finish…The bus itself was spotless, spacious, and had big, comfortable seats that made the ride very enjoyable. Their prices are also some of the best I’ve found. I highly recommend booking with them – you won’t be disappointed!

In town for the Survivor Wealth Summit and Abraham was our driver to and from the hotels to the venue. His service was impeccable. He was timely, thoughtful, helpful to those of us needing support entering and exiting and completely professional. The very sensitive nature of the conference required a compassionate touch and he delivered. less ▲

Abraham was SO kind! I was coming from a wealth summit and he was our driver. I went to carry a stroller off the shuttle for a beautiful young lady while she carried her baby in arm—and he came out of no where and took it from me. Such a gentle man! I’m in my passenger princess era and this confirmed it today! Thank you Abraham for getting us to…

Other FAQs

What is your cancellation policy?

“/> “/>

Cancellations 14+ days before the trip receive a full refund. Cancellations within 7–14 days qualify for a 50% credit. Full terms are provided with your contract at booking.

How far in advance should I book for a major Manhattan event?

“/> “/>

For large conferences or events with multiple vehicles, we recommend 4–6 weeks out. For single-bus bookings, 1–2 weeks is usually sufficient — though we can often accommodate last-minute needs, so call regardless.

Are your drivers familiar with Manhattan loading restrictions?

“/> “/>

Yes. Every driver working Manhattan routes is trained on commercial vehicle loading zones, special event police details, and borough-specific restrictions. We don’t send someone unfamiliar with the city into it.

Can you handle large-scale conference transportation in Manhattan?

“/> “/>

Absolutely — it’s one of our core strengths. We regularly deploy fleets of 10–40 buses for major conferences at the Javits Center, Cipriani, and other large Manhattan venues, with a dedicated on-site coordinator.

Do you offer ADA-accessible vehicles?

“/> “/>

Yes. ADA-compliant coaches with wheelchair lifts are available on request. Please indicate accessibility requirements when requesting your quote so we can assign the appropriate vehicle.

What’s the minimum booking time?

“/> “/>

Most bookings carry a 3-hour minimum. Specific minimums depend on vehicle type and trip category. Call us and we’ll work around your needs.

How do you handle airport pickups for large groups?

“/> “/>

We monitor inbound flight status in real time and stage vehicles accordingly. Drivers meet groups at baggage claim with signs, and we accommodate multi-flight arrivals on a single booking.

Do your prices include NYC congestion pricing and tolls?

“/> “/>

Yes. Our quotes are all-inclusive. Congestion pricing zone fees, tolls, tunnel fees, and standard parking are factored into the price you receive. No surprises.

General Questions

How can a charter bus rental accommodate different group sizes?

“/> “/>

Our charter bus services offer a range of vehicles, from smaller minibuses suitable for 18 passengers to larger buses that can comfortably seat up to 56 passengers, ensuring that groups of any size can be accommodated.

Are there accessible options for individuals with mobility concerns?

“/> “/>

Yes, Metropolitan Shuttle offers ADA-accessible buses, catering to travelers with mobility needs to ensure everyone can travel comfortably and safely.

What level of professionalism can be expected from your charter bus services?

“/> “/>

Metropolitan Shuttle works with the most experienced local operators and professionals, ensuring that you have a skilled driver to manage your group’s travel needs.

Which cities or regions are you able to serve?

“/> “/>

All of the major cities and many smaller cities in the United States are served by our nationwide charter bus services.

How can I determine what kind of bus I require?

“/> “/>

Our experts assist you in choosing the best LA charter bus rental for your needs based on your schedule, group size, and preferred amenities.

What kinds of charter buses are available?

“/> “/>

Metropolitan Shuttle offers motor coaches, minibuses, party buses, executive coaches, limo buses, school buses, shuttle buses, and luxury buses are just a few of the many vehicles we provide.

How many video monitors do the buses have?

“/> “/>

Deluxe charter buses will typically have four to six video monitors. Minibuses will have 1-3.

Can I charter a minibus for an overnight trip?

“/> “/>

Minibuses are not designed for long-distance travel. They are much lower to the ground and therefore far less comfortable for passengers travelling on the highway. Few, if any, operators will allow their minibuses to travel much more than 100 miles out of a given city.

Who arranges and pays for the driver’s hotel room?

“/> “/>

Typically, the client will be responsible for booking the driver’s room on overnight trips. Often, if you ask, hotels will add a complimentary room for the driver when you book rooms for a large group.

If I don’t need the bus for the whole day, will I still need to pay for it for the entire day?

“/> “/>

Most charter services have four- or five-hour minimums on charter bus rentals in LA. Therefore, if your event is from 9am to 5pm and you’re renting a bus for transportation both to and from, it could cost the same amount to keep the vehicle for the day as it would to have it leave and come back for the return trip. However, there are occasions when we can offer special one-way transfer rates to accommodate those types of circumstances.
