Cancellations must be made 21 or more days prior to (each) departure date to receive a refund less a $10 processing fee.  If you are canceling part of a round-trip ride, your ticket price will be adjusted to a one-way fare. The refund back to you will be the difference, less our $10 processing fee. Because we book our inventory of buses 3 weeks in advance, cancellations made 20 days or less prior to departure are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be used for credit to travel on future rides.
