Bus With Us
Bus With Us was founded in 1978. Senior citizens from nursing homes, assisted living centers and senior centers are taken on escorted excursions. There are half-day trips on handicapped-accessible buses to Austin sites and all-day trips to sites outside of Austin for those more able. The trips are free and include entrance fees. Members of Assistance League act as tour guides.
