Lewicki Transportation
About Us
Founded in 1976, Lewicki Transportation is a family-owned, community-based, and well-established company offering private charters as well as transportation by bus for schools, businesses and community-groups. We pride ourselves on a long history of professionalism, reliability, safety, and the ability to accommodate the individual needs of our clientele at competitive prices. We offer transportation by school bus/coach from, to and within Toronto.
Our commitment to excellence has allowed us the privilege to serve a diverse clientele, including Imperial Oil, Cadbury, Royal Sun Alliance, Pride Management, the City of Toronto and the Ontario Government and Cirque du Soleil.
We are a mid-sized Toronto company with a vision to further expand our client base beyond the Greater Metropolitan Area. We appreciate any consideration given to our growing company and strive to maintain professional and friendly relations with all clients past, present and future.
Fleet, Amenities
We offer a variety of coaches, mini-coaches and school buses to meet your needs, and our mission is to facilitate the planning of safe, fun, seamless and stress-free trips. Our growing fleet includes 21, 25 and 33-passenger mini-coaches, 47-passenger executive motor coaches, as well as large school buses. Our coaches are all equipped with A/C, CD, DVD and PA Systems. We pride ourselves on keeping our fleet clean both inside and out.
Coaches are ideal for longer bus trips, and tours of Niagara Falls, Toronto or other major cities. They have comfortable seats, and amenities like DVD players, Air-Conditioning, CD players, PA Systems, and a restroom in the motor coaches. Our school/charter buses are also comfortable and offer a more affordable alternative to coach rental. They are perfect for pub crawls, school outings and shorter bus trips. Our mini-coaches are well-suited to smaller groups, offering a pleasant and more intimate ride.
Why Should You Choose Bus Transportation?
Trains typically stop only in major cities, limited, of course to railway routes. Many airports are inconveniently located miles from the downtown core and popular tourist attractions. People often have to find their own way into the city from an airport, or, alternatively, out of the city to campgrounds, conservation areas and other remote locations. Bus transportation is not only more economical, but far more flexible than most alternative modes of transportation. Whats more, transportation by bus is safer than flying and MUCH safer than driving. And, for the nature lovers out there, coaches and buses are more fuel efficient and, therefore, more environmentally friendly than flying.
Safety
Safety is our top priority at Lewicki Transportation.
While it may be possible to for your group to take their own vehicles, they and you will find your excursion more enjoyable, flexible, convenient and safer without anyone having to worry about driving. According to The Bureau of Transportation statistics, transportation by bus is 46 times safer than driving, and twice as safe as flying. Bus rental allows you to do some sightseeing a group, departing and arriving at various destinations at the same

Testimonials
“The city offers limited bus transportation from Toronto to the venue. Not only was the bus rental affordable, the vehicle was clean, and the driver punctual, polite, courteous and professional. As a child, “bus trips” always took place in a bright yellow rumbling beacon of a thing, but my family enjoyed the cruise from Toronto in style, in a tasteful white coach. Until that day, I really had no idea what Toronto bus companies had to offer. My husband and I spent a short honeymoon in Niagara Falls and I already have visions of gathering my growing family and chartering a bus to the falls to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. As far as bus rentals go, Lewicki gave me everything I needed and more on one of the most important days of my life. If I am going to put my loved ones on a bus from Toronto to the falls to celebrate a decade of marriage, it will definitely be a Lewicki bus.”
-Busing Bride
“I used to fly everywhere, but I found that transportation by bus gave me more travel options. Although most of my experiences with other bus companies were good, I was really impressed that Lewicki offers coaches and school buses. The white mini-coach was perfect for my wedding, but it seemed like a little much for a pub crawl. They gave me a great price on a school bus, which was perfect because it was easily big enough to fit all the friends I wanted to bring. We all had an amazing time and the driver was friendly, patient, and professional.”
-Happy Customer
“I just wanted to let you know that last Saturdays bus ride was amazing.
Dave was very laid back, easy to work with and tolerant, with a great sense of humor.
The night was epic and we could not have done it without the help and understanding of your group.”

“Good morning Shelley.
I just wanted to acknowledge the great service we received from your company and from your two drivers on August 27th. All the wedding guests were happy not to have to drive and park downtown – and commented favourably on the service provided.
Please pass on my appreciation to the drivers as well.”

Best Trip EVER
Rating:
Recently I attended a soccer tournament in Thunder Bay Ontario in which my daughter was playing. We traveled with Lewicki Transportation and I must say it was the best bus trip I have ever been on. The bus was clean and comfortable, the DVD and CD worked and the bathroom was spotless. We had two drivers who were simply wonderful. I would highly recommend Lewicki Transportation to anyone wishing a quality bus service.

On Tour From Germany

Recently I had the pleasure of escorting a group of business people from Germany on a tour of Canadian and U.S. facilities. WE chose Lewicki Transportation to fulfill our transportation requirements. It was the perfect choice. The rates were quite reasonable, the bus was always kept clean and tidy. The driver went above and beyond with his excellent service. He was always off the bus first to help the passengers on and off. As well, our driver had excellent knowledge of the geographical area, was amazing in handling such a large vehicle in heavy traffic conditions and was quite possibly the best driver I have ever seen. All in all it was a wonderful trip.
A wonderful trip
