  • About Bengal Bus Service

    Greensboro Day School provides an option bus service both to and from school. Potential service routes and rates for the 2022–23 school year are listed below.

    Final bus routes, along with pick-up and drop-off times, will be based on enrollment and route demand. We will make every attempt to let you know as soon as we can whether or not your potential route will be offered.

    Rates are listed below. Please note that we cannot prorate for missing time due to athletics, drama, or other activities or illness. Once a contract is signed for the year, that fee must remain in place for us to run an effective program. We will continue to offer a prorate for regular two- or three-day riders. See the rates listed for non-regular riders.
