Definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing buses for charter. Establishments provide bus services to meet customers' road transportation needs and generally do not operate over fixed routes and on a regular schedule. Charter bus services are normally characterized by the rental of a bus and the services of a driver to a person or group where all passengers embark and disembark at the same point. Charter operators have the flexibility to offer a broad range of services such as half-day school trips, daily or longer excursions, one-way trips and local sightseeing tours.
