Would we have to take a greyhound bus?

Question

We are going on a field trip with my school, and it's about 3 hours away.

Someone told me if we were going somewhere more than an hour away we'd have to take a Greyhound [because they have bathrooms].

Is this true?

Answer 1

No Its not True You have the choice of what bus to take,If the Bus does not have bathrooms are board they usually make restroom stops along the way every 2 to 5 hours or so

Unaccompanied Children

Any passenger under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a passenger at least 15 years of age or older at all times. Passengers between the ages of 8 and 14 years of age inclusive, may travel unaccompanied at full adult fare if the following conditions are met in their entirety:

If any of the above conditions are not met, then the passenger must be accompanied by a passenger at least 15 years of age or older in order to travel.

The passenger's trip will begin and end on the same schedule (no transfers).

The passenger's trip will be no longer than five (5) hours in duration.

The passenger's trip (origin to destination) must take place during daylight hours only.

Both the origin and destination stations are full service agencies or company operated facilities.

The destination station will be open at the time the passenger is scheduled to arrive.

Parent, Guardian or Legal Custodian of the child must complete and sign the Unaccompanied Child Form authorizing the child to make the trip and return this to the Customer Service Supervisor on duty. This form specifically names the person authorizing the trip and the person meeting the child at the destination station and the telephone number(s) at which this person may be contacted. It also provides an emergency contact name and telephone number in the event it is needed.

In order for the child to be released at the destination, the person named on the Unaccompanied Child Form as the one meeting the child must have positive picture identification, such as a driver's license or state issued identification card, and provide such to the agent at the destination station. Without such identification, the child will be released into the custody of Child Protective Services or to local law enforcement officials in the destination city.

A fee of $5 will be assessed for each child traveling unaccompanied.

If any of the above conditions are not met, then the passenger must be accompanied by a passenger at least 15 years of age or older in order to travel.

Tickets for unaccompanied children are not sold online.

Exception

In accordance with Illinois state law, NO tickets will be sold to unaccompanied minor children under the age of 17 for interstate or intrastate travel from locations within the state of Illinois

Answer 3

You probably won't take a greyhound...but could.  There are charter bus lines that take groups on trips anywhere they want to go.  These are large buses that are similar to Greyhound. They usually have washrooms in the back/right side of the bus.
