Local planning
Starting points. Manhattan requests most often begin in Aggieville, Downtown Manhattan, Miller Ranch and Lee Mill Heights. Send the exact address, including which side of the street. That is what sets the drive time we quote you.
Where groups go. Destinations named for Manhattan include Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Bramlage Coliseum, Flint Hills Discovery Center, McCain Auditorium and Sunset Zoo. Each one loads differently. Ask the venue where a bus can wait, and agree a meeting corner in case the curb is taken when you come out.
Busy weekends. Local calendars around K-State Wildcats Football & Basketball, Fake Patty's Day, Aggieville bar crawl nights and K-State Homecoming (Wildcats Forever) concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Check the current schedule with the organiser — this is not a live calendar.
Routes we run often. Aggieville bar crawl; Bill Snyder Stadium tailgate shuttle; Manhattan to Kansas City gameday bus; Flint Hills scenic tour. Give us the full sequence rather than the highlights; the last stop is usually the one that moves the number.
Beyond Manhattan. Trips that continue into Kansas City, Lawrence, Lenexa or Olathe are quoted as one itinerary. The Kansas guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
Bill Snyder Family Stadium and Bramlage Coliseum set the schedule for game-day groups in Manhattan: the official start time fixes the arrival window, and the exit crowd fixes the pickup. Ask the venue where commercial vehicles stage, agree on one post-event meeting corner that everyone can find, and give the driver a 30–45 minute cushion after the final whistle rather than a fixed minute.
Trips built around K-State Homecoming (Wildcats Forever) work best when the organizer names the exact building entrance and confirms current access rules with the school before the pickup time is set. Separate the student count from guests, allow real boarding time between scheduled activities, and for prom or graduation confirm the school's own transportation policy before booking.
For a Manhattan night out anchored on Aggieville bar crawl nights and Aggieville bar crawl, fix the stop order and the last pickup time before requesting a quote, and name one group contact for the driver. Curb space is not guaranteed at busy venues, so agree on a pickup corner a short walk away, and check each venue's group entry policy so a bus full of people is not turned away at the door.
Vehicle fit
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.
| Group size | Usual fit | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–14 passengers | Stretch limo or Sprinter van | Tight downtown streets, valet-style arrivals, and shorter time blocks. | See limousines |
| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
How pricing is built—hours, mileage, day of week, season, stops—is explained on the pricing page. Every quote is trip-specific and all-inclusive.
From our own booking data
Manhattan does not yet have 25 company-owned-site requests with a usable city field, so we do not publish Manhattan-only group size or lead-time figures. These nationwide numbers still apply to how groups size vehicles and when they request a quote.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in Manhattan and right across Kansas with our own buses and our own chauffeurs. Booking is quick and it all happens by phone, live chat, or email, so you never have to drive anywhere to sort it out. Tell us the date, where you are starting, and where you are headed, and we will get you a price. The agreement is signed electronically once you are happy with it.
Every Manhattan quote is priced for the specific trip: vehicle type, date and day of week, hours, mileage, group size, number of stops, and season all change the number. Quotes are all-inclusive—driver gratuity, taxes, fuel, and ordinary fees are in the written price; tolls and any specifically disclosed exceptions are listed separately. Ask for a written quote rather than relying on a range.
Party buses on the Bus 2 Ride fleet pages seat 8–45 passengers, limousines seat 8–22, shuttle and coach buses run 8–56. Round up rather than down. Luggage and coolers eat seats, and a Sprinter covers 8 to 14 if you want something that parks easily.
Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are the most common request in Manhattan—for example, Aggieville bar crawl or Bill Snyder Stadium tailgate shuttle. List every stop in order with an expected wait time at each so the quote covers the full time block rather than a point-to-point estimate.
K-State football (Sept–Nov) and Fake Patty's Day (March) are the twin peaks; basketball and graduation add demand. Across Bus 2 Ride's own sites, groups request quotes a median of 30 days ahead, but Friday and Saturday dates around major local events tighten first. For K-State Wildcats Football & Basketball and Fake Patty's Day, request a quote as soon as the date is fixed—4–8 weeks out is comfortable, and wedding groups typically ask three months or more ahead.
No. Sending the form starts it. We check what we have free on your date, send a written price, and the bus is yours once you sign. Roughly half up front, the rest before the trip — your agreement spells out the exact terms for Manhattan.
