[PRCo] Re: Johnstown party bus

[John Swindler]

That is a niche market best left to others, particularly if going out of the county.  
 
Yes, you can rent a PAT bus or the "T", but private companies can usually offer better rate.  The complaint years ago was that some authorities were not considering their capital costs when pricing charters.  That was the unfair competition.
 
We got a charter rate last year for the list get-together that an authority would not be able to match, at least today.  Nuff said.
 
Then again, I shall have to ask Rich Farr why a RabbitTransit bus was at Ephrata Cloister on Monday evening, Dec. 8th.

Since I am in the wedding business, I do hear people complain about restrictions on renting publicly funded busses. Imagine being able to rent a PAT bus or the "T". We used to be able to do it. I guess the attorneys gave themselves more work.> http://guides.limores.net/Party_Bus_Johnstown_PA-r852770-Johnstown_PA.html> > > Dennis F. Cramer> Trombone> > >
