Annett Bus now offers vehicle tracking

Special to the News-Sun

SEBRING -- Annett Bus Lines is setting new safety and accountability standards in the charter bus industry.

Annett Bus Lines now offers vehicle tracking to customers for its fleet of motorcoaches. While this technology exists in the airline industry, it's a first for the charter bus business.

"We are excited to offer this complimentary service to our customers. Many of the passengers are children leaving their parents for the first time and often on school field trips that could last as long as a week. We feel that the ability for mom and dad to track the location of their child's bus will be a great stress reliever for them," said Brian Annett, president.

Customers will simply enter their Charter ID (much like a flight number) into the Annett Bus Lines website to display a moving map with the corresponding bus for that trip.

"Annett Bus Lines invests safety and this is just another example of our company setting new benchmarks for others to follow.

"The accountability and transparency that this service provides our customers are unparalleled in the charter bus industry," Annett said.

Annett Bus Lines was founded in 1976 with only one bus. Annett Bus Lines has grown to be one of the largest privately-owned charter bus companies in North America. Currently managed by second generation owners and brothers, Brian and David Annett, Annett Bus Lines continues to grow through innovation and development of new services and safety measures.
