Unsure of how to go about planning a bus trip? Take away the stress by working with Constitution Coach. For over 30 years, this professional charter service has provided safe and affordable trips for groups of all sizes throughout Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. They have seen their fair share of group trips and want to offer some tips that will make the planning process go smoothly for you.

Whether you’re taking a field trip to the zoo, a senior trip to a museum, or are collaborating buses for a wedding reception, Constitution Coach says there are five steps that will make planning a breeze:

• Compare Bus Services: If you’re traveling within the Connecticut area, then Constitution Coach is your best bet. Each bus is equipped with plush seats, air conditioning, restrooms, and can seat up to 47 or 55 passengers.
• Collect The Money: There’s nothing worse than making reservations and only half the group showing up. Collect the ticket money from trip participants before booking anything.
• Rules & Regulations: The bus service will provide you with a list of rules and regulations to pass on to trip participants. This includes baggage weight limit, carry-on recommendations, prohibited items, and Wi-Fi access information.
• Bus Schedule & Departure Time: Don’t assume everyone has a copy of the bus schedule. Print out several copies to give out when everyone arrives. Make a point of setting the departure time for at least an hour before the bus actually leaves. This will ensure the majority of the group arrives on time.
• Plan Activities: While you don’t have to plan out every single minute of the trip, it’s fun to have several activities planned for the entire group to participate in.
