We create environmentally friendly events, fueled by 100% biodiesel and solar power. We get you out in a sustainable, create, way that may even be educational but for sure entertaining. Being on the TeacherBus is an experience. Bring your friends, your music (on an iPod, laptop or CD), a cooler with your drinks and you are ready to roll. We encourage you to skip the bar-hopping and spend time on the bus itself. It has a dance floor and a sound system after all! We are happy to take you to Twin Peaks, Treasure Island, the Marin Headlands or Ocean Beach for amazing views. You will be surprised at the shift in perspective when you return to the city. We can also go to Napa for wine tasting or to Santa Cruz for surfing. We do birth parties, bachelorette parties, corporate shuttles, corporate offsites, SPAB field trips for, weddings, wine tours and can even set up a movie night in the bus. Have your own Big Lebowski night around town with your white russian in your hand. See you...

For my 30th birthday (also my golden birthday) last year, I wanted to go roller skating. There isn't a roller rink in San Francisco. The solution was to find transportation to the roller rink in Redwood City. Well, my party blew up and we wound up with a very large number of peeps (you can imagine how loved this made me feel!) and needed something big. My friend suggested this bus. From the minute this bus rolled up I knew it was gonna be epic. It's formerly a school bus, but the rows of seats have been removed. In their place is bench seating along either wall with a DANCEFLOOR in the middle. The very back has some cushiony couch-ish seating. We piled 32 party peeps and lots of booze into this thing and off we went. My friends STILL talk about this party. Still. It was January 2008. I can't recommend this magic bus enough...it's GROOVY AS HELL.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I have to say, my sister thinks of everything. Even in coming up with party-type transportation for my bachelorette party, she found me a "green" bus! The bus had more than enough space for our party of 15. We managed to drink cocktails and have a burlesque lesson. I've never strutted my stuff, burlesque style down the aisle of a school bus before :) Our driver was wonderfully sweet and engaging. I hope I have the occasion to party on the teacher bus again some day!

The German Bus is ridiculously fantastic!
I was about to rent the Mexican Party bus until Adam L. directed me towards this fabulous, school bus transpired into hip, modern, trendy party bus and I immediately changed my mind.
My friends had a blast dancing in the back on the dance floor and we rocked out to a playlist I had made on my iPod...having total control of the music is a major plus. Peter, the owner, is really laid back and checks in with you throughout the night as he drops you off at your prearranged, requested stops.
It was $675 for four hours, plus a tip and totally worth every penny. We were able to bring our own liquor on board & I highly recommend putting it in a sturdy container because mine broke and ice went everywhere making the floor slippery...although, that did add a new layer of fun to the moving automobile.
Best part of the night? When my friend performed a birthday dance for me in the back of the bus in front of 25 people and ended it with pouring beer all over himself like a rock star!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Julia K.San Francisco, CA1117Jul 14, 2008
This veggie-oil powered bus is the most economical, environmentally friendly, and guaranteed most amazing party bus experience you will have. Peter is always helpful, his drivers are accommodating and polite, and the buses are incredible. With a great sound system, a dance floor, the ability to play your own music, and great management, I could never go with another party bus company.
Book ahead of time and bring your own ipod to play whatever tunes you want. Ride guilt-free - this bus runs on vegetable oil!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - susan h.San Francisco, CA321Oct 12, 2011
I HIGHLY recommend this bus!
It was my friends 30th birthday and after much research on party buses I booked this bus. WE LOVED it!
If you are looking for the typical Limo-Type bus that dumps people on and off at every bar ... then this is not the bus for you.
On the other hand if you are looking for a super-unique bus where you can have your own music, good sound,hang out on the bus and a cool bus driver at incredibly reasonable rates ... You,ll love it.
He took us across the Golden gate, up to Marin headlands and dropped us at a club (where he got concessions for the whole group).
The only disappointment from this whole experience is that there are not more 5 * reviews on YELP!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Lloyd L.Daly City, CA3053Nov 1, 2012
I wish there were more reviews and stars to emphasize how explicitly amazing this party bus service is. I cannot express how much fun my group of 40 had using Teacher with the Bus, but it was as awesome as awesome could be.
Our driver was probably one of the most understanding people you will ever meet. We were loud, obnoxious, and down right wild, but our driver, Alex, was as cool as can be. He was definitely one of those people you would consider a great honor to meet in your life time as he was in the inner essence, "good people."
The bus is basically what is says it is. Instead of the standard seating of a school bus, you have long benches along the sides, which makes tons of room for raging out and dancing. We had our friend DJ and lets just say it was a night that we won't forget.
Basically, if you're planning a party and want a guaranteed great time with no issues, Teacher with the Bus is the way to go.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Annie P.Beaverton, OR218Nov 18, 2012
Used this for a wine trip that we organized for about 20-25 out-of-town guests. This was such an awesome time, and our guests said the same. Our driver was Alex, and he was friendly and professional. We did get pretty rowdy, all in good fun, during the ride back, and Alex was patient and calm. Lots of dancing involved! This was a very memorable trip. thanks Teacher With the Bus!!

We are a nonprofit in Berkeley that advocates for zero waste, and the Teacher Bus was perfect for taking some out-of-town visitors to see a composting facility in Vacaville. The bus is set up so that folks face each other and can talk and even move around if needed. The staff were extremely helpful and reliable, beginning at the planning stage and going all the way through our final drop off. Everything was really great. I recommend this company without reservation!!

This bus made our night and epic event that will be talked about for years to come. Great driver, awesome owner, and all around fantastic business. I have worked events in San Francisco for the last 3 years and I would highly recommend this bus venue to any and all events. Plus it is the best price you will get for a party bus. Don't miss out on this experience!

This is a long overdue review (and my first!) but Peter at Teacher with the Bus did such an excellent job for us that I had to carve out some for it. I booked the bus for my fiance's 30th birthday back in December and he loved it so much that he's thinking about booking the bus for his bachelor party! Peter was such an easy vendor to work with. He responded promptly to all my emails and was incredibly chill with my rowdy crowd. He offered great suggestions for our outing and even drove around randomly for us after we had reached our final stop early. Our guests really enjoyed spending the time together and not having to spend too much money at the bars. Don't even hesitate to book this bus. Do it now!
