Why are so many Bus Trips being cancelled? Vesta makes every effort to operate our published Bus Trips, but we have been forced to cancel several
trips over the last few months due to low attendance. In order to avoid cancellations and refunds, certain
trips will now require a sign up in advance in order to gage the proper interest in a trip. Once our list ap-
proaches the minimum seating capacity, we will call to inform you that the trip will be running so you
can come to the box office to purchase your trip.
How can you help fill the bus? 1. Make sure to purchase your tickets well in advance of the trip. If you wait until the last minute to
purchase your tickets, you run the risk of the trip being cancelled.
2. Gather your friends and neighbors to come with you! We work hard to book the best, most
adventurous trips in the area, so make sure you tell your friends and neighbors where you are going and
ask if they would like to join you!
3. Let us know where you would like to go. Did we overlook an event? Is there something new in town
you would like to try? We are always open to suggestions; call Bus Trip Coordinator Jeff Mahnke at
813-376-1431 and let him know where you would like to see us go!
New Policy: One month after tickets for bus trips go on sale to Kings Point residents, we will open up ticket sales to non Kings Point residents. Non-residents will be charged an extra $2.00 for each ticket. This policy is to help ensure fewer bus trips are cancelled due to low attendance.
