The start time begins from when the bus departs the garage until it returns. Please assume an additional 30 minutes charged with the trip time to account for travel. As soon as the shuttle is scheduled, it is the event organizer’s responsibility to ensure that attendees are notified of the appropriate locations for pickups and drop-offs.
