Bus 2 Notre Dame

I was surprised to see poor reviews. A group of 4 of us went to Notre Dame for the (unfortunate) Texas game. We knew this was going to be a large group (it turns out there were 750+ people and 18 buses) but I have to say that it went as smoothly as I think a group that big can and then some. The servers on the bus were amazing (we had Nicki who was great), the food was ready when we arrived prior to the game and then after the game. The drinks never stopped, and we needed them after that drumming on the ride home. Our bus took a few wrong turns on the way out, but that was the charter bus company’s fault and not bus2notredame, so I can’t fault them. I would highly recommend anyone that’s looking into a charter bus to consider these guys!

Terrible! It was freezing cold, and they served no hot drinks. Also, there was no food available on the bus. When we got to notre dame, they ran out of mixers. There was not enough food for everyone after the game. Awful.

In theory, this is actually a great idea to get from Chicago to Notre Dame on game days. The breakfast that we had at the bar before the bus was ok– eggs, biscuits, and gravy as well as coffee and Bloody Marys. However, upon getting onto the bus, the operators had overbooked it by about 6 people. The way that the operators handled this was extremely rude and I think that if you’re going to pay $ 120 for a bus ticket, you should be guaranteed a seat on said bus. They had to find some car for the other people to ride in. On the bus, we had a choice of beer or some mixed drinks. The tailgate when we got to ND was ok. They definitely did have enough alcohol. The other major problem that we had with the bus is that the operators told everyone that the bus left one hour after the game. So we made sure to note what time that was and then showed up approximately 45 – 50 minutes after the game to find that the bus had already left the parking lot and we intercepted it on the road. If we had not see the bus on the street, we would have missed it and been stranded in South Bend without any way of getting back to Chicago at that point. I find this extremely irresponsible and rude, especially after telling everyone that the bus left 1 hr after the game.

From the moment you arrive at Hash a Go Go for breakfast to the time the bus drops you off there after the game, everything is taken care of. At the tailgate there was plenty of food and drinks for everyone on the bus. The people organizing the bus do everything they can to make sure you have a good time. Whether its making you a bloody on the bus ride down or organizing a campus tour, they have everything taken care of. If I’m ever able to get tickets to a game again, I would not hesitate to use this bus to get to/​from the game.
