Yep- It’s not the indemnification - these bus companies make their money trekking drunk people all over the place. Bachelorette parties, wine tours etc. Its what they do, they understand the risk.  If there’s a tragedy, everybody is getting sued anyway.  It’s baked into the rate.  Now if you’re letting the drunk people drive the bus….

The issue is basic dollars and sense.  It’d cost the university about 3k per bus at least. These charter companies are booked solid with leaf peepers and weddings..etc.  they won’t roll without a full day rate guaranteed.  And the cost is the same if they take 1 person or 51 people.

And noooobody is going to go to a game because there’s a free bus trip..,,unless you’re from the visiting team and it’s a one off from a hotel or such.

50 random people are not hopping on a bus from Albany or Rochester to go to the dome.

If it’s a bar trip or an alumni organized trip where you have enough people…maybe…and those groups generally pony up for the cost.

I’m not sure what the original premise was?  SU pays for a bus to leave Albany someplace to get you to the dome for the price of a ticket? Sign up here?
