About Kobussen Buses, Ltd.
According to its website, Kobussen Buses is a family-owned company that started more than 80 years ago to take children to school. Student transportation remains the first service listed, and the company has since added charter work for events across Wisconsin. The services page lists sports teams and fans, religious groups, business groups, wedding transport, EAA shuttles, casino trips and private groups. The company says its buses have passed federal and state inspections, and that a military inspection contractor gave it a rating of one; it also says its passenger insurance limit exceeds the industry standard. These are the company's own statements.
