Hi guys,

FYI: Transportation cost for party bus ride is below:

1. Chart bus carrying 56 passenger ~ 1,000.00
2. Trucks carry bikes ~ $550.00

Cost would be 1000+550+100(tip for bus)+100 (tip for truck) = 1750 / 56 = $31.25 / person.

Not bad.

I am sure we can find cheaper but this is pretty great service. Bus was new, nice and clean.  

Thanks

Tim

Hi John,

We have not set a date yet but it would be before October on a Sunday. Right now, the guesstimate is for 40 bikes. We are still in the planning stage and want to get the approximate  cost before sending it out for signup.


Thanks

Of course Tim.

How many bikes and what would be the timeline?

Hi John,

We are looking at the possibility of hiring one of your truck to carry bicycles back for our club ride (VeloViet) similar to the BooB ride . We have not set a date yet but would like to do this prior to October this year on one of the Sunday. We plan to have the club to ride down toward San Diego and catch the bus back (possibly at the same spot as the Boob Ride) to Irvine train station. 

Would you please give us an estimate for the cost of your truck and the process of hiring one ? 

Thank you so much,

Tim Truong

I am wondering how they stack and carry our bikes?

On the BooB ride, they have blanket that wrap your bike.... they also asked us to bring our own blanket as they might not have enough to cover everyone..... I did not bring a blanket but my bike was covered.

I don’t know. Spending $1500 for a few hours on the bus is a bit much.

Hoa,

I hear you ... however, we are talking private transportation (2 trucks) that is almost the same price of taking the train ....I guess you just have to look at the alternative options. Amtrak costs between 27 & 39 and it's not private.

I am pretty sure we can find cheaper deal as well. I am just afraid to pick someone not reliable especially the truck for bike. Can you imaging if that truck took off to Mexico ?56 bike x $5000 average = $280,000.00 😱
