3        Pickup locations:
 Our Hyannis pickup is at the commuter lot behind Burger King at exit 6 off Route 6. This is NOT the Burger King parking
 lot, as they will tow any vehicles left there for an extended time. Park in the commuter lot and wait at the enclosures for
 the bus – please be sure that you are parked in a legal parking spot – if you are on the grass or outside of the marked
 parking spots, you will be issued a parking citation. The police patrol this lot and will ticket/tow any car that is parked
 illegally. As always, parking is at your own risk at any of our pickup locations.
     1. Patriots Square, Route 134, Dennis
     2. Barnstable Commuter lot, Route 132, Hyannis – if you find that there are no remaining legal parking
        places, please proceed to either Sagamore or Dennis (if you have time) to meet the bus – do NOT go
        to the Hyannis Transportation Center
     3. Sagamore Commuter lot, at the foot of the Sagamore Bridge
 Your requested pickup location will be printed on your sales receipt or invoice. Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to
 the departure time and call the office if you decide to change to a different pickup location.

 Assigned Seating - In the interest of fairness to those boarding in Hyannis & Sagamore as well as our handicapped
 passengers, we assign seats on the bus, as they do on the airlines, on a first-come, first- serve basis. If you are
 traveling with friends and signing up separately, be sure to let us know who you are traveling with so that we can seat
 you next to each other. Single travelers will be given their own seats if space allows or may be seated with another
 single traveler.

 Office Hours - The office is open Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. If you get
 our voicemail when you call, please leave a message and we will return your call – most times we are
 in the office but simply on the other line helping another customer.

 and links to video clips. Click the button to subscribe to our monthly e-newsletter, where you can get
 monthly email updates including new trips that have been added, travel tips and more.

 and pick-up location. The person that made the reservation will receive an invoice 6-7 weeks prior to
 the trip with departure times and any balance due listed. If you are mailing in a payment, please keep
 the lower portion for your records, as your pickup time & location are printed on the invoice. For an
 overnight trip, you will receive a mailing with your itinerary and luggage tags approximately 30 days
 prior to your trip.

 Senior Center Signups - If you sign up through a Senior Center, please send your payment to the
 Senior Center, and they will forward it to us. You will not receive an invoice from us for the trip - your
