We are having a 3' X 10' Jersey City LGBT Pride Festival banner made to lead our group The Day Tripper bus can accomodate 56 passengers, but more buses will be arranged if we get a big enough crowd. Due to the cost of renting the larger luxury buses the cost will go up to $85 once the school bus is full so get your tickets ASAP to take advantage of the $55 rate.
