  • Food & Drinks: Check with your reservation specialist about rules regarding food and beverages on board. Many allow non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, and some may allow alcoholic beverages for guests 21+.
  • Decorations: If you plan to decorate the bus, discuss this with us beforehand to ensure it's permissible and easy to set up/remove.
  • Buffer Time: Always build in a little extra time between stops, especially in busy areas like Aggieville or during KSU game traffic.
