StarCraft Shuttle Buses Offer Reliable, Scalable Transportation

If your Human Services organization is relying on minivans for transportation, upgrading to a shuttle bus can dramatically improve efficiency, safety, and client experience. Unlike minivans, which are limited in space and accessibility, shuttle buses are built specifically for group transport. They offer more seating, ADA-compliant configurations, wheelchair lift options, and a more comfortable ride for both clients and staff. This makes them especially valuable for programs that serve individuals with mobility challenges or require regular group outings.

Beyond comfort and capacity, shuttle buses also project a more professional image and allow for better use of resources—fewer trips, less wear and tear, and safer, commercial-grade performance. In many states, you don’t need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to operate a shuttle bus designed for 14 passengers or fewer. With flexible leasing through Capital Lease Group, upgrading from a minivan is easier and more affordable than you might think.

StarCraft buses are designed to be flexible, accessible, and durable—everything Human Services programs need to operate effectively and safely. From smaller routes to high-capacity needs, you can choose the right configuration to support your staff and clients.

Whether you’re looking for a 14 passenger shuttle bus, or a  25 passenger bus, StarCraft has excellent options and leasing through Capital Lease Group provides the flexibility to scale and upgrade your fleet with ease. We recommend StarCraft to our customers because it has proven reliability over the years. We provide maintenance services to our fleet customers, so we are familiar with the range of bus manufacturers and so we have landed on StarCraft for that reason.
