Irvin Raphael Inc. is a family owned and operated student transportation company. Established in 1928, we have been providing transportation to New Jersey students and residents for 90 years! School buses are not only an economical way to transport a group of people, but they are also one of the safest forms of transportation!

We are contracted through multiple boards of education to provide daily transportation service for children all over central New Jersey. We have many different sized vehicles within our fleet ranging from 7 passenger vans to 54 passenger buses. We staff trained school bus aides to better accomodate our special needs passengers.
Services
The namesake of our company was Irvin Raphael, pictured here where he was happiest - behind the wheel of a school bus! In 1927, Jacob Raphael traded a racehorse for a school bus and entered the student transportation business. More than 90 years later, the Raphael family is still at it. Irvin Raphael purchased Rossmeyer & Weber Bus Lines, Inc. (circa 40's) and actively ran line-run buses, charter buses and school buses over the next 5 decades.

I had this company back in 6th Grade during the 2013-2014 school year, when I attended The Center School. I was on a bus with a driver, aide, and 3 other students. I remember there was a student on the bus who would always cause trouble and not follow the rules.

Terrible experience with them. If I could give them a negative star I would, since one star is being super generous.... My kid's school rented them for a field trip for pre-k students. The driver exceeded the speed limit several times during the trip (going 50 mi/hr on a 35mi/hr limit, as well as 76 mi/hr on RT. 287 while having the kids on the bus!). He definitely put the kids safety at risk!!!! When I called the company to report the incident, they were extremely dismissive and didn't really care about the issue. It showed same that kids safety IS NOT their #1 priority.

A true American family business. Good people to work with strong values and goals. Their fleet is top notch and their drivers are well trained and safety conscious.
