Why does a school bus not have seat belts?

School buses do not have seat belts because they are built with compartmentalization. To learn more about compartmentalization, refer to this Transport Canada article.

I want to drive a bus! What do I need to do?

To drive a school bus an individual needs to have a valid, unrestricted class 4 or class 2 licence. Depending on the bus, you may also require an air brake endorsement. If you are interested in driving a school bus, give us a call or email us at resumes@lynchbuslines.com with your resume and abstract.

What safety checks are performed on buses?

Everyday a bus is inspected by the driver for deficiencies that need to be corrected before the bus can leave the depot (pre-trip). Another inspection is performed at the end of the day (post-trip). Buses are inspected by certified mechanics at regular service intervals, 10,000 kilometers or less, as well as at least one additional time (CVIP) as part of our preventative maintenance program. Buses are inspected again annually by the provincial government commercial vehicle safety enforcement officer (CVSE).

Can I install a car seat?

We have the UAS (Universal Anchorage System) installed in our new buses for car seats. If you need to have a UAS for your group please let our staff know when you book. For more information, please refer to this Transport Canada article on child seats.

Can I contact someone after hours?

For after hours emergencies you can contact us at 604-803-3500. We will be able to help you with your booking if it is before our next business day.
