If this application is accepted by Citibus NYC -In-State Bus Corp. ("In State"), In-State will provide the student referenced above (the “Student”) transportation services to and from Bronx High School of Science or the High School of American Studies (each, a “School”) during the 2026-2027 school year on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement below.
Transportation charges are non-refundable. We will offer HOTSPOT DEAL pricing of $2,918 for selective Queens areas to clients that sign up during our hotspot deal. In-State reserves the right to suspend operations without refund. Service may be suspended due to weather or road conditions, or school closures. In-State also reserves the right to suspend service for individual students and to revoke transportation privileges due to student misconduct. Lending or passing a bus pass to another student is misconduct that may result in revocation of transportation privileges. A student’s transportation services will be suspended if their monthly payments are ten days or more late. Service will not be reinstated until account is brought up to date. Refunds will not be issued for student absences. Students will be required to share bus benches in keeping with the vehicles legal seating capacity.
Please note that operating a bus system is capital intensive. After committing to the operation of routes for the school year, In-State incurs a variety of costs including commitments for equipment purchases, leases, depreciation, supplies and materials as well as financial commitments relating to personnel, storage and maintenance facilities, and office space, which cannot be avoided. Therefore, In-State cannot offer refunds if schools are closed with exceptions due to COVID, in which the refund policy is as follows: Full School Year Closures. Should the NYC Department of Education announce school closures prior to the first day of school: you will either a. receive a full credit refund for future use or b. a full refund minus the non-refundable amount of $450. For partial school closures, pro-rated refunds begins from the 31st day of NYC Department of Education's mandated school closures. Please consider this policy before submitting your application.
Students are required to show school ID and their In-State bus pass when boarding a In-State vehicle. Lost bus passes will be replaced by In-State, on notice from the student rider with a forty-five dollar ($45) replacement fee. Replacement fees are payable by check or money order only.
This contract is valid for one primary pick up in the morning and one drop off after dismissal after the ninth period 3:05PM. (The timing of our bus schedule reflects where the majority of our riders attend school. On occasion, the schedule of the two high schools differ. On those exceptional dates (approximately five per year), In-State may provide a general route with generic stops.) The company reserves the right to refuse any application at its sole discretion.
