If you get stuck in traffic consider it free entertainment. Our performers are handpicked from the worlds of stand-up and improv comedy and can turn even the most unexpected situations—traffic, weather, police motorcades—into hilarious moments. TOP
Can I hop on and off like other bus tours?
THE RIDE isn’t a bus tour through New York, it’s an entertainment experience that highlights Midtown Manhattan. So, hopping on or off THE RIDE would mean you’d miss a huge part of the experience. Not to mention you’d probably really hurt yourself hopping on or off the tallest vehicle allowed on the streets of New York by federal law. TOP

Just like a regular tour, city or private charter bus, there are no seat belts on THE RIDE. And you’ve heard about NYC traffic, right? We don’t go fast enough to warrant seat belts. TOP
