Sandy and Pete Borowsky, owners of College Break Bus

Our Story

We are parents first, business owners second. College Break Bus started with our friends. When we founded it in 2018, our own kids weren’t in college yet, but friends with kids a couple of years older kept asking us for help, and we kept hearing the same stories. Some schools have no airport nearby. For others, flying doesn’t make sense. And for many parents, taking time off work to drive 5+ hours each way, twice a break, just isn’t realistic.

So we built it ourselves. We wanted a business that could help our friends’ kids, their classmates, our neighbors, and any college student looking for affordable, safe transportation home for breaks. College Break Bus solves all of these problems and more. With decades in the motorcoach industry behind us, we’ve created a system that runs smoothly and efficiently, so students travel in comfort and safety, with their classmates, right to their home neighborhoods.

Now our children, and the children of everyone on our team, ride College Break Bus too, so we know exactly what parents are counting on.

Veterans in the Bus Business

College Break Bus is powered by Starr, a third-generation, family-owned motorcoach company that has been moving travelers safely up and down the East Coast since 1947. We aren’t a broker that hands your trip off and hopes for the best. We plan, manage, and monitor every trip from start to finish.

When we work with partner motorcoach companies, we choose them carefully, and never on price alone. Every partner is vetted on safety ratings and compliance records, insurance coverage, driver qualifications and training, and fleet condition and maintenance. Decades in this industry have given us the relationships to work with only the best.

You are always in the safest hands possible because at Starr, Safety is our “way of life” – we live it every day. It’s not a slogan for us. It’s how we’ve run our business for three generations.
