How to Read the Results
Unlike a star rating, poll data shows you the full spectrum of opinion. Here's how to make it useful.
Sort & Filter First
Use the category sidebar on the left to narrow results to topics relevant to you. Planning a bachelorette party? Filter to that category and see exactly how bachelorette riders vote on pricing, group size, and must-have amenities — nothing else cluttering the view.
Look at Vote Count, Not Just %
A poll with 12 votes and one option at 75% is very different from a poll with 400 votes at the same split. High vote counts mean stronger community consensus. Low-count polls are still interesting, but treat them as directional signals rather than definitive answers.
Compare Across Categories
The real insights come from comparison. Do prom riders and bachelorette riders agree on the ideal rental hours? How does the Dallas community's pricing tolerance compare to the national average? Filter by category and location to spot the differences that matter for your event.

What the Data Is Actually Telling You
Every party bus decision feels personal — your friends, your budget, your night. And in the moment it feels that way, because no two events are identical. But underneath the differences, there are patterns. Booking windows, group sizes, tipping habits, amenity priorities — these cluster into surprisingly consistent shapes when you look at enough data.
But most people planning a party bus have never seen aggregate data from real riders before. They rely on one or two friends' experiences, a handful of online reviews, or the operator's own pitch. That's like choosing a restaurant based only on the menu the owner wrote. You're working with a single perspective when hundreds of perspectives are available.
Therefore, the results on this page are your unfair advantage. When the data shows that 68% of riders book at least 3 weeks in advance, that tells you something real about the availability window. When prom riders consistently prefer buses with 25–35 seats over smaller sprinters, that's a sizing signal worth acting on. When tipping ranges cluster around 18–20%, you now have a community benchmark instead of a guess.
Use these results the same way a smart shopper uses price history charts — not as a script, but as a calibration. The community has already made the mistakes, run the experiments, and cast the votes. You get the benefit of all of it, for free, right here.
Patterns the Data Reveals
Booking Lead Time
Most riders book 2–6 weeks out. Last-minute availability drops sharply on weekends and during prom/wedding season.
Ideal Group Size
Groups of 15–25 people consistently rate their experience highest — big enough to feel like a party, small enough to stay cohesive.
Price Sensitivity
Riders overwhelmingly say value matters more than sticker price. They'll pay more for a clean bus and a professional driver.
Top Amenity: Sound System
A premium sound system beats LED lighting, TV screens, and even an open bar as the #1 must-have feature voted on by the community.
Tipping Norms
The community converges around 18–20% as the standard tip. Less than 15% is considered low; 25%+ is a strong performance signal.
BYOB vs. Open Bar
BYOB is preferred 2:1 over package open bars — flexibility and cost control matter more than convenience for most groups.
Rental Duration
4 hours is the community sweet spot across all event types. Under 3 hours feels rushed; over 6 feels like it drags without a full itinerary.
Put the Results to Practical Use
Negotiate with Confidence
When you know the community average for a 4-hour rental in your city, you have a real benchmark for comparing quotes — not just a gut feeling.
Prioritize the Right Amenities
Stop paying for features nobody cares about. The results tell you exactly which amenities drive satisfaction and which are just marketing extras.
Time Your Booking Right
Booking window data shows you when competition spikes. Get ahead of the rush for prom season, NYE, and summer weekends by acting 4–6 weeks early.
Validate Your Group Size Plan
Before you split costs, check what size groups rate their experience highest. A 22-person group in a 40-seat bus often reports the best experience.
Compare Cities Before You Decide
If your event could be in multiple cities, filter by location to see how pricing expectations and amenity standards differ by market.
Settle Group Debates
Can't decide between BYOB and an open bar package? Send a poll result link to the group chat and let the community data settle the argument.
