Are There Toilets On The Bus?

Read more about Are There Toilets On The Bus?

We cannot guarantee there will be toilets on our vehicles - or if there are, that they will be working. Please make use of the facilities in resort or at the airport before boarding the bus.

If there is no toilet or it is not working, ask the driver to stop along the way as we do pass motorway service areas. To be extra sure, you could ask your rep to have a word with the driver before you leave to ensure he understands that you may need to stop en-route.

If you have a medical condition that may require you to use the toilet urgently, we would suggest looking at alternative transport options, since we cannot guarantee working toilets.

REASONS FOR TOILETS BEING OUT OF OPERATION

There are genuine reasons for toilets not being in operation. A lot of our buses park in the mountains overnight and the chemicals can freeze. Buses need special facilities to empty their toilets. If they over-fill, it's not pleasant! Our buses are sometimes used all day and so may not have the opportunity to visit these facilities.
