The Bus.

The Bus is a 95 Thomas pusher with an upgraded Cummins Diesel engine. The entire bus has been retrofitted with commercial grade limo style seating with a 44PAX capacity. The Joyride has been a staple in the community, and just needs a new home to give it the love and focus it deserves.

The rides.

The Joyride is the only event/party bus in a 100 mile radius. It has successful market share in Bemidji, Duluth, Crosby/Cross lake area, Walker, range towns, and of course Grand Rapids. It is sound mechanically, and has always passed DOT annual inspections. You will need a CDL with a P endorsement to drive the bus. I have a dedicated, reliable, professional driver that knows the ins and outs of the bus and can start driving trips for you ASAP.

The nuts + Bolts.

Average trip runs gross $1,100 not including gratuities and deposits. The Joyride boasts strong sales numbers, and I typically only run it seasonally. It is capable of running year-round, with very strong sales growth potential. I have invested tens of thousands of dollars into this, and just don’t have the bandwidth for operating to its capacity.
