A Little Common Sense and a Commitment to Safety, What More Can You Ask Of A Coach Company

ImageOn 13 of Oct, the BBC reported a coach driver ‘put children’s lives at risk’ by stopping on busy Portsmouth road to pray.

The incident happened when some 50 pupils from Meon Junion School were returning to Portsmouth after a school trip to London. It is claimed that the Muslim coach driver stopped his vehicle without warning, got out, washed his feet, pulled out a mat and started to pray for 10 minutes, all on a busy highway. It is reported that there were cars swerving the avoid the coach. The man’s actions have since been condemned by parents and Muslim leaders in the city.

Only Professional Drivers at MET Coaches

At MET Coaches, our team of drivers are diverse – religiously, culturally, and ethnically. Regardless of their backgrounds, they are all highly qualified drivers and conduct themselves professionally, with of course, safety being paramount. They certainly won’t put our passenger’s live at risk.

To become a bus or coach driver, one must complete training for a Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) license and a Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). Every one of our drivers holds these nationally recognised qualifications.  Apart from that:
* We are zealous in our pursuit of continuous training and maintaining perfect driving records
* We are the only Coach company to have sent drivers on a Child Protection course.

MET Coaches has a long and proud working relationship with many schools in Hertfordshire and greater London. We supply minibuses and coaches for frequent school excursions – educational trips, concerts, sports transfers and camp shuttles. We are friendly, reliable, totally professional, and we put your safety first – the reason why many schools have chosen to work with us for more than two decades!
