General Questions about the FUN BUS

Is there an age requirement to ride the FUN BUS?

No, there is no age limit to ride; however, we expect that a parent, guardian or responsible adult will travel with smaller children. Also, keep in mind that motorcoaches are not required by law to have seatbelts, and our young passengers are not required to utilize car seats, booster seats or infant seats. Also, since there are no seat belts, child car seats will have to be attached to the seat by a means other than a seatbelt. Securing a car seat to the coach seat is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.

Is the FUN BUS just for “old people”?

Absolutely not! We certainly welcome the older crowd to travel with us, but most of our senior travelers are pretty energetic! Many active seniors travel with us, but you will see travelers of ALL age groups traveling with us! One of the reasons that many seniors travel on the FUN BUS are that everyone gets treated with equal respect, regardless of age.

Are there seatbelts on the FUN BUS?

Motorcoaches are not required by law to have seatbelts installed. All motorcoaches do have “high-back” seating, and your forward motion in the event of a crash is limited by the seat in front of you. They are specifically designed to improve your safety in the unlikely event of an accident.

How often does the FUN BUS stop?

It depends on the route we travel, but we always stop at stop signs, traffic lights and RXR crossings! On some trips, we even stop at flea markets and yard sales! In addition, we frequently stop at WalMart, Meijer and Kroger (the parking lots, not the stores!) Otherwise, expect a rest break every 2.5 to 3 hours.

How do we know the FUN BUS is safe?

That’s a good question—and we never joke about this. The easy way to find out is to go online to www.safersys.org. This is a US government website, and you can review the safety and inspection record of every registered US carrier. Go to the “company snapshot” tab, then type in our registration number—USDOT 907499. It will provide the most up-to-date safety and insurance information. In addition, the USDOT mandates that we participate in a drug-testing program.
Prospective drivers must take a pre-employment drug screen and active drivers are subject to random drug-testing within our company program.

Are there restrooms on the FUN BUS?

Yes. Maybe not quite as fancy as your ones at home, but just as clean. All our coaches (except trolley and shuttles) are equipped with a restroom. However, we don’t permit the use of magazines or newspapers while you visit our facilities—-if you know what we mean!

Are seats assigned on the FUN BUS?

Only the bad people have assigned seats. Noisy ones HAVE to sit in the back, and the shaky ones have to sit up front so we can keep an eye on them. Otherwise, we have “open” seating which allows to you pick the seat that you prefer. Often, we will ask “single” travelers to sit together, in order to accommodate 2 people traveling together. If you have a seat preference, you are always welcome to come to one of the early stops and pick the seat you want!

Can I reserve the front seat?

No. Unfortunately, we can’t reserve seating. You can however, select an early stop to pick a seat near the front. If you tend to get carsick, a seat near the front is likely better for you. Obviously, we don’t want to make you sick, but we also have to be fair to every one traveling on the FUN BUS. Believe it or not, some of our passengers prefer to not have the front seat because they think it’s less comfortable. On most coaches, the front seat offers no more leg room than any other seat, AND there are no footrests.

What if I have a medical or physical condition? Can I ask for a seat up front?

Yes. In certain instances, such as recent (2 years ago doesn’t count) knee or hip surgery, a broken leg, or similar issues—it’s in everyone’s interests on the coach to place those persons at the front of the coach. It makes it much quicker and easier to load/unload our passengers with those conditions.

Can I get more information on the FUN BUS?

If you want more information about safety, our drivers or our tours, ask us for references. You can find some of these on our website. Go to the home page and click on “Testimonials”. These are all “unsolicited” comments about our coaches, our services, our drivers and/or our tours.

What else can you tell me about the FUN BUS?

That’s pretty much it! Our coaches are clean, safe, dependable. Our drivers are friendly, professional and some even have a sense of humor! We know how to make our trips enjoyable for everyone, and they’re affordable. What else is there?

Do I have to wear a name tag on the FUN BUS?

No, No and NO! We figure that YOU already know who you are and if you want someone else to know—you will probably just introduce yourself! We also don’t do other silly things that some travel companies do—left or right side off first, front or back off first, etc. SO—-sit where you want, exit the coach when you want and even keep your identity a secret if you want!
