You can drink on the bus, but food isn’t allowed.
It’s against New York State law to drink alcohol on a bus. Some restaurants we visit do sell alcoholic beverages, so be sure to bring cash and a valid ID if you want to partake.
Seating is first come, first serve. Make sure to arrive 15-20 minutes early if you have a large party who want to sit together. Guests that arrive late, or right at the starting time, are much more likely to have to split up their group.
The 38 and 55 passenger vehicles have restrooms, but the 21-passenger vehicle doesn’t. There are restrooms at some of the stops where we get off the bus such as Coney Island.
Unfortunately our buses don’t have wheelchair access. You’ll need to take a few steps up to get on the bus. Please keep in mind that the platform to enter the bus is about 13.5 inches above the ground. Please join is if other people in your party are able to help you up the stairs.
