Palmer Bus Service

Palmer Bus Service has been providing safe and reliable student transportation since 1974. Serving over 30 school districts across Minnesota, we operate from as far south as Adrian to as far north as Nashwauk. With over 1,000 full- and part-time employees, we are one of the largest privately owned school bus contractors in Minnesota. In 2024, we were honored as North America’s Contractor of the Year and named the Top Transportation Team in the U.S. Our North Mankato body shop features a state-of-the-art 60-foot drive-thru paint booth, large enough to accommodate a full-size school bus.
