Let's a take a trip, shall we...a trip to the land of coach transportation and the magical world of 47-57 passenger passenger buses and a place that I exist in at least once a month **insert a wavy screen image**
As an Assistant Company Manager of a tour, I often have the job, nay, privilege of finding group transportation to/from the airport and, occasionally, between cities. How does one do that? Glad you ask, because it would be the wonderful world of luxury coach transportation! It's a vast vast vast world of companies that own those nice buses you take when you're in a marching band in high school at a bowl game, going to a corporate event, or transporting groups to theatrical events!
However, there is a dark side. That dark side would be that there are SO MANY FRICKIN OPTIONS! I haven't a clue where to begin half of the time because everyone has a website, and they often look really cheesy and not trustworthy.
All that changed, however, when I was googleing "charter transportation seattle" and came upon MTR Western's webpage! After being very impressed with the professional nature of the webpage, I decided to get a quote, liked the quote, booked the service and waited till the day of transportation. First, however, I want to point out that the whole process was stellar from quote to drop off. Prompt, efficient, and reliable. They even spelled out exactly how to contact the bus at the airport in their confirmation. Never have I had an experience where I tell the bus we're at luggage claim, and then had it arrive right as we were walking to our stall.
That, and our driver was FABOO. They set out a little mat on the ground before you get on the bus (not necessary, but a nice touch). He was very sociable and polite. He even gave me an umbrella in the awful downpour that is Seattle and helped take my luggage to the hotel (being that I was the last person on the bus). I'm sure he can't always make this accommodation, but it sure was helpful!
Now, why spend so much time on a Charter Bus Company review, you might ask? Well, mainly because it's so hard to receive a reliable review on bus companies, and considering the vast amount of options, it can be overwhelming and hard to trust many of them! And, being that Yelp is a forum to review pretty much anything, I say that If I find a good Bus charter service company, I want people to know about it!
SO! If you're looking to charter a bus in Seattle (and many other cities...just check out their webpage), MTR Western is SUPER reliable and very good at what they do. read more
