What our customers have to say about Cavallo bus Lines, Inc.
“Our CC and Track programs have used Cavallo for the last 15 years. On occasion we have had to use another bus company and I have had no bus company that compares with the quality, cleanliness and responsiveness of Cavallo’s. Once we started using them our entire campus, as well as, competitor schools began using them as well and we all continue to come back.”

Their buses are clean, comfortable, and accessible to the needs of a student-athlete with outlet and WiFi capabilities. Their staff is courteous, on-time, and professional and planning trips with Cavallo couldn’t be easier. We truly appreciate working with Cavallo and the service and style they provide to BenU Springfield Athletics.”
