Beverages are permitted onboard the shuttle buses as long as they are contained in plastic bottles or cups. Aluminum bottles are permitted and wide mouth cups are permitted as long as they have lids. Glass containers and alcoholic beverages are not permitted onboard the shuttle buses.
How often do the buses leave from each hotel?
The shuttle bus departure frequency varies from host hotel to host hotel. Most shuttles will depart every 15 minutes or when the buses are full. There are some hotel departures that will be based on anticipated ridership volume. In cases where anticipated ridership volume determines the schedule, the shuttle buses will leave between every 30 to 60 minutes. All hotels will have a GPTLS Ambassador located at the bus pickup location. If unsure of the schedule for your host hotel, please feel free to ask the Ambassador and he/she will be happy to provide you with the best on-site schedule information available for your hotel. Please note that The Wrangler NFR starts each night at 5:45 pm PT.
