If you’re looking for a better way to move patients, staff, or visitors between multiple healthcare campuses, South Bend Coach Bus Service can help.

Our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 to build a custom transportation plan that fits your exact schedule, headcount, and budget. Call us today at 574-999-4160 to get started!
Why Choose South Bend Coach Bus Service?
We’ve worked with healthcare providers of all sizes—from major hospital systems like Beacon Health System and Saint Joseph Health System to small urgent care clinics in Granger and Walkerton—to deliver reliable, on-time shuttles tailored to their unique needs. When you book with us, you’ll get access to one of the largest fleets in Indiana, including minibuses, sprinter vans, full-size charter buses, and ADA-compliant vehicles. Need to transport doctors between Memorial Hospital and Elkhart General for a late-night surgery? Or run a continuous loop for visitors parking at a remote lot during construction? We’ve got you covered. And if plans change (because they always do), we can adjust routes or add extra buses with just a few hours’ notice.
Custom Shuttle Solutions for Every Healthcare Facility
No two hospitals are the same, which is why we offer fully customizable shuttle packages designed around your specific requirements. Choose from a wide range of bus sizes (15 to 56 seats), floor plans (forward-facing, perimeter, or mixed), and amenities (WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, luggage racks, PA systems) to create the perfect solution for your staff and patients. We can even wrap a bus with your hospital’s branding or install hand sanitizer stations at each door upon request. Serving multiple sites across St. Joseph County or partnering with other providers like Franciscan Health Michigan City? We’ll coordinate everything so your people stay connected and productive.
Reduce Parking Congestion and Improve Access
Parking is a constant headache for hospitals, especially those located in dense urban areas like downtown South Bend or near the University of Notre Dame campus. Instead of making employees circle the block for 20 minutes after a long shift, offer them a comfortable shuttle from an off-site lot directly to the main entrance. This not only frees up spaces for patients and visitors but also reduces traffic congestion around your facility and lowers the risk of accidents. During peak hours or special events (like vaccine clinics or health fairs), we can deploy extra buses to handle the surge without missing a beat.
Serve Rural Communities and Out-of-town Patients
Access to healthcare shouldn’t depend on whether you own a car or live near a bus stop. For rural residents in counties like Marshall, Kosciusko, or Cass, getting to a specialist appointment often means traveling long distances with limited public transit options. That’s where we come in. South Bend Coach Bus Service can provide non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for individuals or small groups who need a ride to and from regional hospitals in South Bend, Mishawaka, or even Chicago. Our buses are more comfortable than a taxi, more affordable than an ambulance, and more flexible than a fixed-route service. Plus, we never leave anyone behind—wheelchair users and mobility-impaired passengers are always welcome aboard.
Support Public Health Initiatives and Emergency Response
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we helped numerous healthcare organizations set up pop-up testing sites, vaccination clinics, and quarantine housing by providing fast, flexible transportation on short notice. Whether you need to move PPE supplies between warehouses, shuttle volunteers to a mobile unit in Benton Harbor, or evacuate patients during a natural disaster, you can count on us to deliver. Our team is trained to follow all CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting vehicles, enforcing mask mandates, and minimizing contact between riders. In times of crisis, we’re proud to be part of the solution.
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We know that healthcare budgets are tight and every dollar counts. That’s why we offer competitive hourly or daily rates with no hidden fees or surprise charges. You’ll get a free quote upfront based on your exact mileage, duration, and ridership, so you can plan ahead with confidence. Splitting costs with another department or applying for a grant? We’ll provide all the documentation you need. And because we operate year-round, you’ll save money compared to hiring temporary drivers or reimbursing mileage for personal vehicles. Investing in a dedicated shuttle is not just good for morale—it’s good for your bottom line.
