About Us

Bear STS is a friendly, safe and reliable private school transportation provider serving the Ottawa area. We provide transportation for children, of all ages and needs, to and from school, day care, after school care providers or extra-curricular activities such as recreational, sporting and tutoring activities.

We provide parents with peace of mind by ensuring their children are safely driven to their destination on time by experienced drivers with clean driving records who have submitted police record checks, maintain reliable vehicles while carrying appropriate vehicle insurance and have provided this service for a number of years through this company and others.

COVID-19 Measures

In alignment with provincial COVID-19 pandemic concerns, our vehicles are professionally cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis including daily interior cleansing with disinfectant wipes. Our drivers carry hand sanitizer and wear protective face masks while driving children. We expect that your children use the hand sanitizer upon vehicle entry and wear either face masks or shields as well.
