Which code does this activity belong in?
Charter bus establishments provide transportation services on non-fixed routes without regular schedules, distinguishing them from Urban Transit Systems and Interurban and Rural Bus Transportation, which both operate fixed routes on set schedules. Charter bus services also differ from Taxi and Limousine Service in that they transport groups on buses rather than individuals or small parties in automobiles or luxury sedans. School and Employee Bus Transportation is classified separately when establishments are primarily engaged in transporting students or workers under contractual arrangements rather than offering charter services to the general public.
