GBI work with Andrea Georghiou when… I work with Andrea Georghiou when booking many buses with Academy ~ She is consistent and always willing to help and she be commended on her professionalism. We always Request Maggie Maleck, not only does she know our members but she is very kind hearted to our older members. We bring a small cooler of bottled water and a bag of assorted candies, as we return to the bus Maggie is already handed out the goodies before I even make to the bus. Hands down she is The Best and We are Lucky to have her.....Please pass along a Job Well Done for all our trips together. Thank you, Tim Nelson.

GBReckless Disregard for Safety On Sunday November 7th, 2021 a caravan of Academy buses led by NJ State Troopers with sirens going were traveling south on the NJ Turnpike. They were on the shoulder mostly. Presumably these buses were heading to the airport with the NFL Raiders on board after the game. I had to get off the same exit and 3 different Academy drivers tried to run me off the road rather than let me exit safely. These drivers were reckless and almost caused a serious accident all because they didn't want to allow me to exit in front of them. They honked at me and sped up dangerously as I tried to exit. These drivers are the worst. I used to commute to NYC by bus and would NEVER take an Academy bus. They are terrible.

GBI was a disappointed because the Bus… I was a disappointed because the Bus came 15 minute late. Apparently it was an issue with the Bus driver that was supposed to take the shift and cancelled last minute. But other than that our new bus driver Richard was awesome.

GBLOVED EVERYTHING except 1 thing.. LOVED EVERYTHING about working with Academy except one thing... Felt like I was getting shook down to tip one of the 3 drivers we had booked. While I had every intention of providing a tip once I was done with my event (which went longer than the contracted amount of time with our buses), one bus driver was intentionally hanging out and told one of my team members that he was waiting for me to give him a tip. Not how you do business. That being said, I'd still use Academy again.

GBAcademy Bus Lines breaks parking laws… Academy Bus Lines breaks parking laws at least once a month in my neighborhood. The buses park in a no parking zone, leave their motors running and the drivers disappear for a couple of hours. They have been warned over and over but continue to break the law and destroy the environment. Two days ago, two buses parked in front of Joe's Stone Crab parking lot on Collins Ave in Miami Beach.. This is where the buses always park even though there is no bus parking. Morever leaving motors running is so bad for the environment , that the drivers should take a course in the dangers of air pollution. . Fortunately Code Compliance officers came and the buses finally left.
