Every school day, thousands of parents across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs put their trust in one thing: a safe, reliable school bus. At Alltown Bus Service, we don’t take that responsibility lightly. With over 27 years of experience, we’ve built our entire operation around one goal—getting students to school and home again safely, on time, and stress-free.

Serving school districts in Chicago, Decatur, Davenport (IA), and Detroit, Alltown Bus operates over 600 buses across six locations. Whether it’s a city block or a suburban neighborhood, our commitment to student safety and reliable service is the same.

Here’s how we make that happen every day.

Decades of Experience in Student Transportation

Alltown Bus isn’t new to school transportation. Since our founding, we’ve worked hand-in-hand with public and private school districts to provide customized, consistent transportation solutions that meet the needs of every student, school, and family.

From early morning pick-ups to late afternoon drop-offs, we follow carefully planned routes that are optimized for both safety and efficiency. We’ve learned how to navigate Chicago’s urban traffic, tight schedules, and diverse neighborhoods—all while maintaining the highest service standards.
