Santa Cruz Coach Bus Service works with local campuses like UCSC and Cabrillo College to provide custom shuttle services that keep your university running smoothly. We offer fully customized routes and schedules tailored to your exact needs—whether it’s looping through Science Hill, hitting Westside satellite buildings, or connecting main campus to downtown Santa Cruz via the Metro Center. You set the stops, frequency, and timetable; we supply the vehicles and drivers. Our fleet includes everything from compact minibuses (great for navigating tight campus roads) to full-size motorcoaches with room for 56 passengers. Buses come equipped with cushioned seats, powerful AC, onboard restrooms, WiFi, USB outlets, and PA systems for announcements. Need branded vehicles? We can wrap buses in school colors and logos for a professional look. Additional services include late-night “safe ride” programs, park-and-ride shuttles from remote lots, construction detour routes, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts. Local experience matters: we know the hairpin turns on Empire Grade, the morning rush at the Main Entrance, and the best places to stage vehicles during class changes.
