Because Every Mile Matters.
It happens thousands of times each day – a child climbs aboard the bus to school, a senior group takes a church day trip, a college student shuttles to, from, and around campus – each one riding a bus from Thomas Bus Texas. And every mile matters – every day.
At Thomas Bus Texas, we are passionate about our business for one simple reason: what we do matters.
Every day, thousands of children, including our own, depend on our buses to get them to and from school safe, on-time, and ready to learn.
Churches and sports teams, childcare and senior centers, airports and healthcare facilities alike – every day, tens of thousands of people count on us for safe, comfortable and reliable group transportation. So we take serious pride in our business for one very important reason. Because we know there’s a lot riding on what we do. Every mile. Everyday.
