I am a Bus Driver. When I first started driving I worked for a company who at the time had a standing contract with a Party Tour company. Being young (21) I quickly became the party companies favorite driver and I was requested so often by them that any booking this company made were just given to me. In 3 years I drove over 200 pub crawls, I averaged 5-6 a month. I have seen many crazy and f*%$ed up things.
I was driving a group from one bar to another, we were stopped at a red light on a very busy downtown street. My bus was noisy as hell between the music and people yelling. This guy on my bus starts yelling out the window to some people on the street just mouthing off being a tough guy in a bus. The guys on the street walked up to my bus and one of them punched my passenger in the face. So the drunk guy comes to the front of the bus, blood everywhere wanting to get off and go fight this other guy. I make him back off and I kept driving. Drunk bleeding guy couldn't stay in one place though. He got blood everywhere he even managed to get some on the celling. I lost him at the next bar but he probably went to the hospital I think he had a broken nose. My company was kinda pissed when I brought the bus back after that trip, because of the blood the bus had to be sanitized and scrubbed not just cleaned with soap and water.
The worst part of any pub crawl is the guy who drinks too much and cant hold his alcohol. I hate the pukers! People were given 2 options if they puked on my bus. They could clean it themselves or it was a $50 clean up fee if I had to do.
The best part for me was the money (and the cool perks). I made a killing in tips doing these pub crawls.
I made the most I ever got in tips after yelling at the passenger during one trip.
On my Bus you could drink and you could smoke (cigarettes) but no weed. For the simple fact that a term of my employment with the Bus company was to be part of a random drug testing program. I didn't care about the weed but I couldn't (at the time) be around it. This pub crawl was a private party and I was driving them all to their final destination. This group had kinda pissed me off a bit that evening I was looking forward to being rid of them for the night, so it didn't take much to set me off. On our way to the last stop I smelled weed, so I shut off the music and told them to put it out they couldn't smoke it on the bus. 5 Min's later I can still smell weed and I can see them smoking in my mirror. I pulled over to the side of the highway, put my 4 way flashers on and turned off my bus. I then got out of the drivers seat so I could face them and went up one side of the bus and down the other, I just tore a strip off them. When I asked them to put out the weed the first time a couple of the guys got rude and mouthy, this put them in their place. I had no more problems for the rest of the ride. When we got to our destination half the group apologized to me for their behaviour that evening and the other half the group thanked me for the trip and for putting up with the trouble makers. Most of them were giving me 10's and 20's as they filed off the bus that night. I made 470 dollars in tips that night... Apparently anger is the answer.
Then there are the priceless moments. I had a drunk girl once fall ass backwards down the bus stairs. She landed at the bottom legs in the air skirt pushed up. All I have to say is that was probably the last time she went out drinking in a short skirt with no panties on.
I have many stories and could go on forever but I'll stop now.
Those are some of my pub crawl experiences from a bus drivers perspective.
