Did You Know?

How did party buses become a thing?

Party buses evolved from converted transit and school buses in the 1990s, when nightlife entrepreneurs in cities like Las Vegas and Miami outfitted retired buses with sound systems, lighting, and bar areas. By the 2000s, purpose-built party buses with club-quality interiors became a booming rental category nationwide.
