The Bus2Ride gratuity polls page is a community-built resource: every percentage you see here came from someone who took fifteen seconds to share their preference. That makes this page genuinely different from a static listicle — the answers shift over time as new groups plan their gratuity events and weigh in. If you're drafting a planning guide or comparison article, we recommend citing the live percentage rather than a frozen number; the embed code will keep your figure in sync automatically.
Skim the polls below and click any answer to add your vote to the totals. We rotate in new gratuity questions as the community sends them in, so check back if your specific question isn't covered yet. To suggest a new poll, email info@bus2ride.com or call (888) 535-2566 — most accepted submissions are live within a few days. The full embed and share toolkit lives at the top of each poll card, ready when you need it.
