Bus With Us


Bus With Us was founded in 1978. Senior citizens from nursing homes, assisted living centers and senior centers are taken on escorted excursions. There are half-day trips on handicapped-accessible buses to Austin sites and all-day trips to sites outside of Austin for those more able. The trips are free and include entrance fees. Members of Assistance League act as tour guides.

Homestead Bus trip destinations include George Bush Presidential Library, Bob Bullock Texas History Museum, LBJ Library, cruises on Lady Bird Lake, Homestead Heritage Crafts Village, Exotic Resort Zoo in Johnson City, and Blue Bell Creamery.
