Does Charterbusserviceshouston.com own the buses in Houston?

Depending on the vehicle you choose, field trip charter buses and minibuses can include seat belts, frigid A/C, reclining seats, onboard WiFi, individual power outlets, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, a PA system for teacher announcements, overhead storage bins for backpacks, and undercarriage bays for bulky gear.
