New Policy:
One month after tickets for bus trips go on sale to Kings Point residents, we will open
up ticket sales to non Kings Point residents. Non-residents will be charged an extra $2.00 for each
ticket. This policy is to help ensure fewer bus trips are cancelled due to low attendance.
TO SIGN UP FOR BUS TRIPS PLEASE VISIT THE KPCH BUSINESS OFFICE. IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE TRIPS THAT REQUIRE A SIGN UP,
PLEASE EMAIL JEANIE AT [email protected] OR CALL 813-850-5444.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT TRIPS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE A SIGN UP,
PLEASE GO TO THE KPCH BOX OFFICE.
Why do we have to “sign up” for some trips instead of buying a ticket?
Vesta makes every effort to operate our published Bus Trips, but we have been forced to
cancel several trips over the last few months due to low attendance. In order to avoid
cancellations and refunds, certain trips will now require a sign up in advance in order to
gauge the proper interest in a trip. Once our list approaches the minimum seating
capacity, we will call to inform you that the trip will be running so you can come to the
box office to purchase your trip.
How can you help fill the bus?
1. Make sure to purchase your tickets well in advance of the trip. If you wait until the
last minute to purchase your tickets, you run the risk of the trip being cancelled.
2. Gather your friends and neighbors to come with you! We work hard to book the best,
most adventurous trips in the area, so make sure you tell your friends and neighbors
where you are going and ask if they would like to join you!
3. Let us know where you would like to go. Did we overlook an event? Is there something new in town you would like to try? We are always open to suggestions; call Bus
Trip Coordinator Jeff Mahnke at 813-376-1431 or email at
[email protected] and let him know where you would like to see us go!
