Atlanta Bus Rental Company, Samson Trailways, Share Tips to Make Your Ride the Best it Can Be

    NORCROSS, GA, July 31, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The leader in Atlanta bus charters, Samson Trailways, notes that if you are planning a trip, whether a school outing, a corporate retreat, or a group event, it is important to have some activities and entertainment to pass the time. This is especially true if children will be on the ride or if you will be spending an extended period on the bus.

Traveling with Children
If you are traveling with children, it is especially important to provide them with activities to pass the time. You can prepare a bag filled with coloring books, toys, games, and nonperishable snacks and drinks (in plastic containers). Just remember to be courteous about disposing of any trash. You may want to advise parents to bring their child's favorite hand-held video game, or a DVD player or iPad to play games, read books, or watch a movie. Remind them to bring earbuds or headphones so that they do not disturb others.

If you would prefer that the children interact with each other during the trip, plan some road trip games like the age-old license plate game. If you are on your way to a sports event or performance, use the time to prepare your group and get them pumped up.

Trips with Adults and Older Students
Adults can get bored on a long trip as well. If you want to avoid having everyone disappear into their phones, iPods, and iPads, encourage interaction by bringing some games. A Trivial Pursuit app can be downloaded onto an iPod or iPad, and the host can read the questions from that. You can also have one side of the bus compete against the other on spotting landmarks, license plates, and other sights. If someone has a large and varied library of songs on their iPad, you can have a "Name that Tune" contest. Just make sure that if you are using a device, it is fully charged before the trip begins.

If you are traveling to an event like a march, day of service, or corporate retreat, you can use the ride to your destination to provide information and build enthusiasm. The return trip can be a good opportunity to recap the day's activities and celebrate individual or group accomplishments.

For trips on charter buses in Atlanta, particularly during the hot summer months, it is essential to have water and other hydrating beverages available. Don't count on people to bring their own, because some will inevitably forget. Bring plenty for everyone.

Tom Sambdman, Vice President of Samson Trailways, says, "We make sure that our Atlanta charter buses provide groups with a comfortable trip. Yet, we know the importance of keeping people from getting bored, particularly on a long ride. That's why entertaining or motivating activities are so important."
