Exploring America's National Parks

It was a nice tour. The itinerary was good, perhaps have more time at each site. Pace quite rapid sometimes, just the time for photos. At the same time there was so much to see, the only way would have been to lengthen the trip which was already long. I would recommend this trip.

What Is A Tour Bus? Definition, Features, and Benefits Explained

By: Author Values Bus Tour

Posted on Last updated: April 16, 2024

If you’re passionate about travel and love the idea of exploring new places without the hassle of organizing accommodations, a tour bus might be your best bet. But what exactly is a tour bus, you ask? Imagine a hotel on wheels that not only takes you to exciting destinations but also provides you with comfort and convenience each step of the journey. Stick with us as we delve into the world of tour buses, highlighting key features and revealing why they complete your puzzle for a perfect vacation!

A tour bus is a type of bus that is designed to transport groups, typically for sightseeing or long-distance travel. It often features luxurious accommodations such as reclining seats, WiFi, TVs, and ample storage space for luggage. Tour buses are commonly used by holiday tour operators, entertainers, and other groups traveling long distances. They offer comfortable and convenient transportation options for both leisure and professional purposes.

Table of Contents

Understanding What Constitutes a Tour Bus

In its simplest sense, a tour bus is a motor vehicle designed to transport passengers on extended trips for recreational or commercial purposes. When it comes to defining what constitutes a tour bus, however, the answer becomes more complicated due to the many types and variations available.

In general, though, tour buses are typically chartered for long-distance travel with overnight stays. They come equipped with seating and accommodations that far exceed what you might find in standard passenger vehicles.

Seating and Accommodation Features

Tour buses are designed to offer both comfort and practicality, providing amenities that make lengthy road trips more manageable.

For instance, seating features may range from traditional benches to recliners with ample legroom, and some even have tables for working or playing games. Additionally, most tour buses include features like air conditioning, heat and ventilation systems to keep passengers comfortable in any weather conditions.

But what sets tour buses apart is also their accommodation space which can feature bunk beds, a master suite, a full bathroom(s). Many luxury offers lounge areas complete with kitchens where travelers can cook meals on the go without having to stop at expensive restaurants. GPS and other technological driving aids make navigating unfamiliar roads much easier, while onboard Wifi keeps guests connected online during long trips.

Furthermore, since bands and performers often use these vehicles as mobile homes while touring around the country on concert tours, they may have additional rooms or compartments for equipment and musical instruments. In summary, tour buses offer luxury features that make long-distance travel comfortable and convenient.

Purposes and Clients of Tour Buses

Tour buses are not your everyday mode of transport, given their specialized nature. They are primarily used for sightseeing, holiday tours, events transportation, and even by celebrities or sports teams on long-distance travel. These vehicles have specific features that cater to the unique needs of their clients, such as comfortable seating arrangements, storage compartments, entertainment features like WIFI connectivity, televisions screens, refrigerators and kitchenettes. Charter bus companies can customize the interior features to meet the needs of their clientele.

• Tour buses are specialized vehicles that cater to the unique needs of sightseers, holiday tours, event transportation, and even celebrities or sports teams. They offer features like comfortable seating, storage compartments, entertainment options, and customizable interiors to meet client demands.

City Tours and Sightseeing Services

City tours and sightseeing are some of the most popular uses for tour buses. These services are widely available in most major cities around the world because they offer a convenient way to see all the sights without having to worry about finding parking or navigating narrow streets. Tourists can relax in comfortable seats while being taken through famous tourist attractions while listening to an experienced guide. The vehicles feature wide windows that allow tourists to enjoy panoramic views with ample space for storage, meaning they need not worry about carrying luggage around on a city exploration trip.

For instance, a Berlin tour bus may enable visitors to explore historic landmarks such as the Berlin Wall or Brandenburg Gate while appreciating scenic views overlooking the city’s beautiful skyline. The tourists’ experience is often enhanced by a knowledgeable tour guide who offers commentary on historical sites and other cultural points of interest.

Tour buses also offer a convenient way for groups attending events to move along designated event routes quickly. Whether it’s picking up participants from several locations or transporting them between different venues during an event day, travel logistics become much easier.

Some examples of clients renting tour buses include:

• Tourists visiting new places
• Bridal parties or wedding guests
• Sporting teams traveling for tournaments
• Entertainment acts going from one show to another
• Large families traveling together
• Corporate groups attending conferences and meetings

While it’s evident that tour buses have their advantages, they also come with a few disadvantages. For instance, while they can accommodate large groups, customized arrangements may be quite expensive for smaller groups without budgeting for customizations. There’s also limited flexibility on the part of tourists to deviate from pre-planned routes or visit out-of-the-way places.

Overall, however, tour buses remain an excellent option for people who want to explore new destinations conveniently and in comfort while enjoying picturesque views and having fun.

• According to the American Bus Association, in 2019, there were approximately 36,000 motorcoaches (which include tour buses) operating in the United States.
• A research conducted by Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development in 2019 found that buses, particularly tour buses and charter buses, are one of the safest modes of transportation with an accident rate of only 0.05 accidents per million passenger miles.
• The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reports that as of 2023, modern tour buses may see up to 15% improvements in fuel efficiency due to technological advancements.

Events and Group Transportation Services

Tour buses are a popular mode of transportation for events and group transportation services. They offer comfort, amenities, and convenience that make it easy to transport groups of people in comfort and style. This is particularly beneficial when organizing large events such as school trips, weddings, sports competitions, professional conferences or even family holidays. By providing ample seats and onboard entertainment, tour buses are becoming increasingly popular in today’s world.

Imagine a wedding planner needing to transport guests from the ceremony to the reception site. A tour bus would be the ideal choice for guest travel because it allows for easy navigation around unfamiliar areas, plentiful storage space for luggage, and comfortable seating allowing guests to relax en route.

Differentiating Types of Tour Buses

Tour buses come in different shapes and sizes depending on their specific use. It’s important to distinguish between commercial tour buses used by sightseeing companies and private tour buses used for traveling purposes.

Think of it like selecting a car based on its intended use: An SUV versus a sedan – one suits off-road activities while the other is designed for road trips.

Commercial tour buses typically have larger seating capacity ranging from 30-60 passengers, highlighting the importance of efficient loading and offloading at every stop during city tours. They also tend to focus on panoramic perspectives with large windows across both sides, an onboard guide/interpreter service, public address systems, sound systems, air-conditioning units and TV screens to enhance sightseeing experiences.

On the other hand, private tour buses commonly feature fewer seats (20-40), designed mainly for long-duration trips with overnight stays. Accommodations may include bunk beds or master suites with full bathrooms – features essential for bands/music groups who must spend extended time periods traveling between gigs or clients.

Features such as GPS systems and Wi-Fi connectivity ensure uninterrupted work productivity while smaller storage compartments are available in private tour buses since bulky equipment is not required.

Commercial Tour Buses

Understanding the primary differences between commercial tour buses and luxury tour buses is essential in deciding which one would be a good fit for your specific needs.

Luxury Tour Buses

Commercial tour buses are the standard vehicles used for long-haul trips, such as those between different cities or states. These kinds of buses generally have basic amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, and a restroom. Often utilized by schools and universities for field trips or companies organizing day tours, these buses are more concerned with efficiency than luxury.

However, despite being bare-boned in appearance, commercial tour buses are actually quite reliable, powerful machines that can provide comfort and safety to passengers. With a large storage area under the bus perfect for luggage and equipment, it’s suitable to accommodate any adventure you set out on.

Weighing the Pros and Cons of Tour Bus Use

If you want to enjoy a first-rate traveling experience, then luxury tour buses might just be what you need. These vehicles offer high-end amenities often reserved only for expensive hotels or resorts – king-sized bunk beds, fully-equipped kitchens, Wi-Fi hotspots, multiple televisions with state-of-the-art audio systems – the works!

Luxury tour buses cater to many needs. It’s not just private concerts or exclusive events that they’re utilized for. In fact, luxury tour buses have become increasingly popular for family vacations or couples traveling in style.

While it might seem over-the-top to some travelers, renting a luxury tour bus is cost-effective if you consider how many people will be traveling together and the number of luxurious inclusions that come with it.

For a side-by-side comparison between commercial and luxury tour buses, see the table below:

As you can see, there’s a significant contrast between the two vehicle types. While luxury tour buses offer travelers unparalleled amenities and comfort, choosing a commercial tour bus might be more feasible for those looking for an economical option.

All in the family A Rich Trio of Family-Owned Businesses

FOUNDED IN 1990...

Our objective and business model has always been very simple and straight forward:

DO BUSINESS WITH INTEGRITY...

Today, our fleet of nearly sixty coaches has been built and tailored to help meet the budget of most every touring band...

We offer both Prevost and MCI Entertainer Coaches as well as Executive Limo Styled Coaches...

Check out this video to give you an up close and personal look at who we are...

STAR COACHES: THE PIONEER OF THE EXECUTIVE LIMO COACH...

After meeting with numerous coach builders who turned him down, Danny met with Jerry Calhoun, the Godfather of the rock & roll bus industry.

The meeting was brief and to the point.  Jerry asked Danny to write down references and then told him to go to lunch...

When Danny returned from lunch Jerry said "Go pick out a bus, I believe in you!"

Since 1990 and millions of dollars later, the relationship between Danny Hamilton and Jerry Calhoun has been very special.

14 BUNKER COACHES

Many years ago, and thanks to our friend George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, we made a decision to convert some of our coaches from 12 bunkers to 14 bunkers...

This move has opened the door to helping bands save money by "sharing a bus" with an opening act, or carrying a full crew and keeping the cost involved to only one bus...

With a year round rate starting at $850 / day, our 2013 to 2016 model 14 bunker coaches can really make a difference to bands and touring theatrical shows that are faced with tight budgetary restraints...

OUR DRIVERS GIVE BACK…

"GUYS, FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO OUR CLIENTS."

We knew that the economy was going to tank. We didn't know when, or how bad things would get, we just knew the bubble was going to burst.

Over the course of two weeks, we held countless phone calls with all of our drivers discussing their ideas on "how to make a difference".

They came up with many great ideas. Finally, our drivers decided that the best way to give back and make a difference was to change their overdrive structure IN FAVOR of the client.

Industry standard has always been, and still is, for a driver to charge an overdrive (equal to a days pay) after driving 450 miles.

Our drivers voluntarily and collectively, decide to break that mold.

Their decision was to NOT charge a client an overdrive at 450 miles, but rather at 501 miles.

This was a HUGE move on their part. Unheard of in the industry. They were mocked and ridiculed by their esteemed colleagues in the industry.

BUT... They made a difference.

So, ever since 2005, our great drivers have made a significant difference to our clients every day with their overdrive structure, which starts at 501 miles, not at 450 miles like our competition!

Our drivers WILL save you money on your next tour!

More often than not, when clients compare a Star Coaches proposal to our competitor's proposals, our proposal will "appear" to be more expensive.

Why? Because it is thorough...

It's NOT designed to be "pretty"...   it's designed to be accurate.   Actually, it is designed for you to end your tour BELOW the projected budget.

Don takes the time to prepare every single proposal for every single tour himself.

He suggests stop point cities on longer drives to keep a driver safe and legal.

While this level of thoroughness takes more time, it has been invaluable, especially for foreign clients that are not familiar with the geographical layout of the United States.

See for yourself what many consider to be the best, and most informative proposal in the industry, and then get ready to enjoy "coming in below budget" at the end of your tour.

TRAILER WEIGHT LIMITS…

Most of the time, this is not a problem, as most bands are staying within our 10,000 pound limit for GVWT (Gross Vehicle Weight, or a loaded trailer)...

By the way, for you Production Managers, our trailers weight about 4,500 pounds empty, leaving you about 5,500 pounds for the gear / merch...

Anyhow, a more frequent occurrence is that we find ourselves receiving a frantic call from our drivers at pick up stating that "this trailer is very heavy"...

So we instruct the driver to immediately weigh the full trailer, only to find that the GVWT is over 10,000 pounds... This becomes a new problem...

To battle this potential problem, we suggest making sure your packed load is less than 5,500 pounds, and if you must exceed that limit, act BEFORE the tour pick up...

Rent a box truck and a driver...

Star Coaches now has a small team of box truck drivers that can help solve the problem of a disaster at pick up...

If you can't get the gear to 5,500 pounds, let us know, and we will gladly assign one of our auxiliary drivers to your rented box truck from Hertz, Budget or UHaul...

Don't be THAT guy who is overweight at pick up...

Things to Know Before You Charter a Tour Bus

Traveling in a luxurious tour bus is a unique experience and an ideal solution for anyone traveling over the road for extended periods. Since these buses are specially equipped to provide multi-day comfort on long journeys, most companies that rent them do so on long-term contracts. Many companies will charter or rent for a day.

Here are some things to keep in mind before you book an entertainer coach for your next trip:

• Accommodations and features will differ significantly, make sure to see the coach before signing a contract.
• Often includes sleeping accommodations with either one bed for a single entertainer or a configuration of up to 8 or more bunks.
• Always ask for insurance information before booking.
• If you need other parties listed as additionally insured, tell the company before signing a contract.

Though we work hard to keep our listings updated, we encourage you to check the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Safer System for company standing before booking with any operator. 

Common Amenities on a Tour Bus

Because tour buses are designed to serve as your home out on the road, these vehicles are packed to the brim with amenities. When you're traveling for days at a time and spending long periods on your bus, you want every luxury you can get to make the journey more comfortable.

Most tour buses feature bunks or beds where you can relax or catch some sleep overnight and lounge areas where you can hang out during the day. While the details for each bus will vary, you can expect the following amenities from a tour bus charter:

• Restrooms   | Always
• AC   | Always
• WiFi   | Almost Always
• Screens/DVD   | Almost Always
• PA Systems   | Often
• In-Seat Power Outlets   | Almost Always
• Airline Grade Entertainment   | Almost Always
• Wheelchair Accessible   | Rare

We encourage you to ask your operators questions and request photos of your bus so you know you're getting what you need to make your trip a success.

Common Activities That Use Tour Buses

When you think about luxury tour buses, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the rock stars who tour the country putting on spectacular shows. Still, they aren't the only ones traveling in these buses. Entertainer coach buses provide comfortable, luxurious transportation and accommodations for a wide range of performers, political figures and everyday folks who want an experience like no other.

From road trips to tours and everything in between, tour buses provide an excellent home away from home for any group, including:

Bands and musicians

Political Campaigns

Theatre groups, comedians and entertainers, executive/corporate, visiting dignitary or executive groups, wedding party transportation, wedding venue shuttle, business commuter shuttle, college and professional sports, tailgate parties, traveling/hosting sporting events, nascar/racing events, benefits of renting an entertainer coach bus.

Renting a tour bus for a long trip provides you the ultimate convenience. Your bus should have almost everything you need onboard, so you can travel without searching for hotel rooms or places to stop for food and bathroom breaks. 

As with any rental, your entertainer coach will be assigned an experienced driver who will ensure you arrive at each destination safely. You can sit back and relax, and your driver will be responsible for navigation, traffic and parking. This driver gives you the opportunity to work on your performance, socialize or take a nap so that you arrive fresh and ready to shine.

Tour buses are an environmentally friendly alternative to other modes of travel, helping to minimize the impact of your tour by limiting the number of vehicles or plane trips required to get you where you're going. Most tour buses are relatively fuel-efficient and house an entire band along with some crew members, allowing you to carpool and reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

What is the Cost of a Tour Bus Rental?

Comparing costs of tour bus companies can be overwhelming if you’re not familiar with how they’re priced. Once your band is ready for an upgrade, do a little homework upfront to know if you’re getting a good deal.

Exact rates vary by city, but you can expect to pay between $1,900 and $2,500 per day for an entertainer coach. If the company charges per mile, you’ll likely pay somewhere between $7.00 and $8.50 per mile .

The 4 Biggest Factors That Influence the Cost

Breaking the price down gives you a better estimate of how much to budget for trip. Factors that will affect your cost include:

1. How much fuel will your tour bus use?

As you tour from Chicago to Los Angeles to Atlanta and everywhere in between, the cost of gas is going to be a major part of your transportation budget. You can calculate your estimated fuel cost using this formula:

Most charter bus companies will include fuel cost in the price, but it’s helpful to calculate this cost ahead of time to give you an idea of what to expect. To complete this formula, use Google Maps to tally the total mileage, ask the company to provide you with their entertainer buses’ average MPG, and use the current national average for gas prices per gallon.

“One of the best pieces of advice I can give someone looking to rent a tour bus is to make sure they’re renting from a company in the location they’re starting from,” says Mike Hines, band leader and guitarist for Corey Smith . He says fuel and mileage expenses can be greater if you don’t rent from a company in your hometown.

2. How much will it cost for the tour bus driver’s labor, hotels, and gratuity?

Since you’re going to essentially live in an enormous motor coach during your tour, a professional driver is vital to your band members’ safety.

“An experienced, dependable and safer driver is going to cost more than maybe somebody who isn’t as experienced,” says singer and song-writer Rudy Vaughn , winner of Hark Rock’s 2009 Ambassadors of Rock. “I would rather have the safe driver!”

“Professional drivers will have limitations to the amount of miles or hours they are able to drive at a time without needing to be paid overtime,” Vaughn explains. “This is called overdrive, and can start anywhere from 450 miles to 650 miles. The amount varies among bus companies, but the cost can add up quickly for longer tours.”

Legally, charter bus drivers can only drive ten consecutive hours before they are required to take an eight-hour break, according to the American Bus Association . If your destination will take longer than a 10-hour drive, you’ll need to divide your trip into multiple days. This can increase total costs if your bus company charges by the day.

“Along with the cost of your driver, you’ll pay for his or her hotel rooms,” says Kevin Spencer , guitarist and lead singer of Electric Avenue . “Remember to get them at least a 3-star hotel room. Saving $40 on a hotel room isn’t something you would appreciate your clients doing to you. Treat the driver as a family member, he’s there to keep you safe.”

Your driver is one of your biggest allies during the tour. Budget for a hotel that will make him or her feel at ease, not the cheapest motel you can find.

While it’s generally not required, gratuity is always appreciated and is a great way to thank a bus driver. Consider a 5-10% tip for a job well done.

3. Will you need a trailer for extra storage?

How do you know if you’ll have enough room to store your equipment on the tour bus? Most modern buses have a hollow bay underneath that spans the width of the bus to store items.

Spencer says his band can fit a full drum kit, a small bass amp, two combo amps, a small keyboard rig and stand, guitars, bass, keyboard, and a box of merchandise under the bus. They haul everything else in a trailer attached to the bus.

If you think you’ll need extra space, you can rent a trailer to haul on the back of the bus. These can be rented for an additional $50-100 per day, on average.

“Don’t forget about your merchandise when estimating how much storage room you’ll need,” Mike Hines advises. “You may need to bring weeks worth of merchandise on the road with you, and that can take up a significant amount of space.”

4. How much will it cost to park the tour bus?

One of the most overlooked aspects of renting a tour bus is parking logistics. The last thing you want to worry about when on a tight schedule is, “Where in the world are we going to park this thing?!” Determine if there will be parking fees before you begin your trip.

Some venues have designated bus parking on the premises while others in more populated areas require an off-site parking fee. In New York City , for example, bus parking rates are $20/hour while rates in Baltimore  are $25 for 12 hours . Call venues ahead of time to see if they have designated parking spaces for your bus and if any additional charges will apply.

Necessity or Nice-to-Have?

Before you and your bandmates cash in on a real tour bus experience, balance your checkbook and take a hard look at your finances. With all of the other costs of touring , does chartering a bus make sense for your band?

“Buses can cost thousands of dollars per day, and that’s just one more bill you have to pay,” Hines says. “The luxury of the bus might sound attractive, but ask yourself if you’re truly ready.”

It’s best for musicians to budget for a tour bus when they are agreeing on the price of the gig, Rudy Vaughn says. Since transportation is such a massive part of the touring budget, sometimes half of the gross income of the show, it’s imperative to know those costs before agreeing upon a price.

“One of the biggest reasons why we book tour buses is because of our production gear,” Vaughn continues. “We have discovered that doing our own production has added benefits, so we have a trailer that is full of stuff. Musicians should always weigh out all of the factors. Is it better to fly to a location and rent production and vehicles to get around? The amount of people will vastly change these types of factors…and it will be something to work out case by case.”

Weighing the Cost of a Tour Bus Rental

When you charter a tour bus for your band, you’re not just paying for transportation.

“It’s easy to under-appreciate the amount of work it takes to keep a 50-foot “building on wheels” driving down the highway without problems,” Vaughn says. “The cost of even one repair, or even a single tire replacement can be in the thousands of dollars. So the price of renting a tour bus needs to be high enough for the owner to be able to absorb the rigors of such a vehicle.”

“You’re hiring someone to manage your safety,” Kevin Spencer says. “Paying a higher price for the right company is worth it because they are ultimately responsible for getting you to and from shows safely and efficiently. The bus is your home while you’re on the road, so it’s important to build a solid relationship with your bus rental company for peace of mind.”

A higher price point doesn’t necessarily result in a better tour bus, but companies with an excellent reputation may charge more to ensure a high standard of service. Ask around, read reviews thoroughly, and ask a lot of questions before choosing a bus company to keep your tour running smoothly.

• DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!!

• niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed.

The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018

The bus didn't stop at many points. Were were unaware a couple of times at what point we were and missed them. Headphones and maps were provided. Would recommend one should check out the route map before going and decide which places to stop in advance, this way one can manage and enjoy the tour more and us it more effectively.!

• WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018

Police identify cyclist who died after collision with Iowa charter bus in Covington

Police have identified the man who died after being struck by a charter bus in Covington Thursday.

Jonathon Hussing, 26, of Covington, was riding a bicycle when he was struck by a charter bus traveling from Iowa to tour the Northern Kentucky area, police said in a news release.

The police previously reported Hussing as a "pedestrian," but they later clarified he was not walking, but rather cycling when he was struck.

Officers responded to the collision at the intersection of 12th and Scott streets just before 9 a.m.

Hussing was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries. Just after 12:30 p.m., Lt. Justin Bradbury confirmed Hussing had died.

Detectives and officers with the Covington Police Department's traffic bureau are investigating the crash.

Anyone with information is urged to call detectives at 859-292-2234 or Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040. Nearby residents and business owners are also being asked to contact police if they have camera footage of the incident.

The Enquirer will update this story as more information becomes available.

Find boat tours & bus tours – sightseeing in Stockholm

Publish date : 26 April 2024

Explore Stockholm from the water or on onboard a guided bus tour. Here are some ways to go sightseeing in town.

Bus tours in Stockholm

Guided bus tours are the classic way of taking in the sights. And why not? A bus is a relaxing way of getting around Stockholm comfortably while your guide talks you through the highlights.

• Stockholm currently has three major bus tour operators. Strömma and Red Sightseeing offer "Hop on, Hop off"-tours. In other words, visitors join the tour for as long as they like and can choose to disembark from the bus at any stop.
• Ocean Bus has a set route for their amphibian bus tours. The tour lasts about 60 minutes and you'll see the central parts of town both from land and the water.

Boat tours in Stockholm

The fact that Stockholm is built on 14 beautiful islands connected by 57 bridges, makes a sightseeing tour by boat somewhat of a given. There's an old saying the best way to experience Stockholm is "from the water". Cruising along the waters around Kungsholmen or Gamla Stan on sunny summer's day, it's not hard to understand why.

• Strömma –Strömma operates several dinner -and brunch cruises, both in Stockholm and out to the archipelago. During the summer season, the company also traffics the Drottningholm tour from Stockholm City to Drottningholm Palace along Lake Mälaren.
• Red Sightseeing – Red offers Hop-on, hop-off tours where guests can choose when to join or leave the tour at their leisure.
• Waxholmsbolaget – Waholmbolaget traffics sightseeing tours and regular ferry traffic in the archipelago all year round but with a reduced number of departures during the off-season (August-May). During the summer season, Waxholmbolaget also runs a boat cruise to Drottningholm Palace .
• Blidösundsbolaget – A tour operator specializing in trips and cruises to the Stockholm archipelago during the summer season. Blidösundsbolaget also operates several dinner cruises.
• Day Cruises with Viking Line – Viking Line is a shipping company that operates several cruises from Stockholm to Finland. They also run an 11 hour-day cruise through the Stockholm Archipelago (with a quick visit in Mariehamn in the Åland Islands).

Police: 26-year-old bicyclist killed in crash involving charter bus in Covington

COVINGTON, Ky. — A 26-year-old bicyclist is dead after he was hit by the driver of a charter bus Thursday morning, according to Covington police.

Police said officers responded to the intersection of 12th and Scott Street at around 8:59 a.m. Thursday morning for a reported crash. They found bicyclist Jonathon Hussing, who had been struck by a charter bus traveling from Iowa to Northern Kentucky.

Hussing was hit by a bus and taken to the UC Medical Center with "serious injuries." He was later pronounced dead.

Covington city officials provided a statement about the crash:

Today was a tragic day. As a community we grieve with the family and friends of the cyclist while at the same time we feel for the driver of the bus. We too have questions about what happened, and we await the results of Covington Police’s investigation before speculating about causes and contributing factors.

Police have not provided any information on what led up to the crash, or what may have caused it.

Bob Barnes, safety director of Cavalier Coaches Inc., said the company is cooperating with police, but they don't yet have enough information to provide an official statement.

Anyone with information about the crash can call Covington detectives at 859.292.2234 or Crimestoppers at 513.352.3040.
