FAQs about Bus Trips

How do I sign up for a bus trip? By calling the main Transportation line, 978-402-8133. Some trips fill up quickly, so call promptly when you see a bus trip that interests you.

What if I sign up but then have to cancel? Residents who cancel a trip on the day of the trip will be charged 50% of the bus fee. If applicable, residents will be charged 100% of a ticket fee if purchased in advance by Newbury Court. These fees will be charged directly to your account. Please try to cancel trips well in advance so that residents on waiting lists can be notified appropriately. To cancel, be sure to once again call Transportation in order to be taken off the trip list.

May I bring a guest? If you wish to invite a guest purely for the company, be aware that seats will be given to Newbury Court residents first, and only if there is room and no waiting list will a guest be given a seat. However, if you require a companion to assist you that person can be given a seat at the time you reserve yours, depending on availability.

Will you collect the bus fee at the time of the trip? All bus fees are charged directly to your account at the end of the month. Note that the bus fee (if any) is listed at the end of the trip description. Admission fees may be collected before or on the day of the trip; please read the specific trip description carefully for clarification.
