Made a separate thread for school trippers so its easier to understand.

Does anyone recall which Staten Island school trippers used express buses?

There wasn't any specific types, it just depended on the paddle. There were paddles that had a driver start by getting a local bus, deadheading and starting at a school, running in service to one of the routes terminal, and then returning to the depot to get an express bus for PM express service. Some drivers pulled out an express bus for that one school trip, and then deadheaded to the city to start the express runs. 

It was mainly Charleston that did it(out of Tottenville HS), S55, S56, and other routes but it stopped now. It was to save the hassle of taking a local bus for literally half a route, then deadheading back to the depot to get an express bus. 

 

Edit: This could've been asked in the Random Thoughts Thread.
