Skyline Party Bus

Do not waste your time or money with these cons. Horrible experience for my friends from San Marcos and myself.

Horrible company, do not use them. They are extremely unprofessional, save your money trust me !

The busses got there an hour late. The busses were dirty to the extent that girls and guys had their pants and dresses ruined. The owner of the company yelled at me and asked «can I finish my sentence?» when I called asking what would be done to rectify the situation. We had to have security at the venue for more than the budgeted time because of their mistake, and only got to be at the venue for 45 minutes. It was terrible. The owner insisted the bus was only 43 minutes late and that he was being generous by compensating us for one hour of time. It was terrible. Take a cab. Take a bicycle. Give your money to someone else but not this guy.

Okay so the idea of this bus service is great, and the lady in the escalade who sells the tickets is always so easy to deal with and super nice. But in all honesty the driver and the one guy who checks the wristbands are horribly mean. I have never in my life encountered people as mean as them. this weekend was just one example of their horrible costumer service.
Problem one– my friends who i drove to the grove hopped off the bus to join the rest of the people i drove. Then when i tried to get on their bus to join them because i was their ride i was screamed at, and even cursed at. But was reluctantly let on.
problem 2– after leaving the other bus my friend realized she dropped her card on the bus. Well when i stopped the bus so she could quickly check it out after everyone was off the bus he screamed at her and said «NO NO WAY IN HELL IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN». so she never found her credit card and the people refuse to look for it leaving her to cancel it, and not shes stuck in a college town with no form of money. her words were «great now i cant buy groceries»
I completely understand they deal with alot of drunk messes and issues, but their attitudes are absolutely horrendous.

I would have to say this was a horrible experience as far as bus lines! I wish we could give ZERO stars. The bus was contracted for 6pm, in order to arrive before the entrance fee change at Wurstfest. They arrived late! The bus didn’t pick us up until 6:45, there was no apology or renegotiation of contract due to them picking us late. Then we had to pay EXTRA to get into the venue due to the bus arriving late. When the group confronted the owner (mind you, we showed up with the FULL amount in hand), there was a horrible, negative, IMMATURE attitude from the owners. The group had to pay $ 200 extra at the venue due to late arrival, no we didn’t ask for that amount to be deducted from the FULL amount we had in hand, we at least wanted an apology, or admittance of failure to meet the contract on their part.
I will advise customers to NOT contract with Skyline, use another company!

There are no words to fully describe how horrible our experience was. We were on their bus from San Antonio to San Marcos to float the river, and then were left completely stranded after the river. Once our driver showed up it was NOT for us, but for another group. The ride here we barely made it, after an introduction full of cuss words our driver nearly rear ended at least four cars. Multiple people in our group were thrown from their seats. Once we arrived at the river our driver threatened that if we weren’t done floating by a certain time we would be left there. Well, we finished by that time yet were still left. Needless to say the awful driver and her company don’t deserve to still be in business.

Where do I even begin? We rented two 50 person party buses from Skyline for the Fourth of July to go out on a big party barge on Lake Travis. Things up until the day of seemed to be going well. We had everything prepared as requested by both the bus company as well as the barge.
The two buses show up almost 20 minutes apart which put a pretty big damper on our timeline to make the boat on time. On top of that, when they did show up the driver decides then to tell us that he needs the rest of the payment in cash because «their credit card machine was broken.» So after having to resolve that issue, we finally get in the road. Ride out was great and got to the boat and everyone had a blast. We get back on the buses and head back to our original pick up location downtown. I was trying to be thorough (and by that point was not intoxicated) made sure to do a walk through of my bus to ensure everything was good to go and everyone had grabbed everything. My friend did the same on the other bus. No issues on either. Neither bus driver mentioned any issues and we ended the night there.
Two days later, my friend receives a poorly written text message saying that we owe them $ 175 because someone puked in one of the buses. When asked why it wasn’t brought up until two days later, the owner explained that they were closed Sunday otherwise he would have called. So even if there HAD been puke (of which no evidence was provided whatsoever) that means they let it sit in the hot sun for almost 36 hours before notifying us. If you can manage to fumble your way through their grammatical and spelling error ridden contract, you are given an amnesty period of 10 hours to submit a written complaint of any issues, which was now conveniently out the window. I gave the guy a call and tried to talk calmly to him about the issue and all he did was yell, talk over me, and tell me he was going to send us to collections and sue us. I tried a few times to have a rational conversation with the guy (Brandon) with no success in even getting him to even lower his voice or give us some ounce of proof that it was our bus out of the 20 that went out that night that had the damages. He made sure to tell me that we were the worst bus that went out that night, when the staff from the Party Barge told us we had been the funniest and most responsible group they had seen yet. Hard to believe that all went so wrong in 30 mins. We ended up paying just to put the issue to bed. So to Skyline, congratulations. You swindled our $ 175 dollars and lost out on future business from ~100 people who will be sure not to to recommend your company to anyone who enjoys decent business practices. Cheers.

Skyline is the best form of transportation in San Marcos!!! Cheap, easy and reliable!

I don’t even know where to begin. This company ruined our night. Our driver, Darius, was lovely and very sweet. Fast forward to the end of the night when I’m being handed his phone to speak with his boss who proceeds to yell at me, claiming that my CC was declined and threatening to call the police if I don’t pay cash right now. Um we’re in the middle of nowhere, where do you suggest I get said cash? I ask him if I can give him the card number again, as it must have been taken down wrong (I just paid for a $ 300 dinner no problem), he refuses and finally my sister convinces him to take her card. Oh yeah, and this was her bachelorette party – way to make it special, a-​hole.
Oh but the cherry on top? I check my bank account the next morning and there’s a pending charge from skyline.
I have NEVER been so disrespected by a «business», the cheap ride is just so not worth it.

Was very displeased with the quality of the bus and the rude employees

Skyline offers safe rides from San Marcos to San Antonio to Austin! It’s usually just $ 10 and every time I ride we get bottle service with our bus wristbands. Buses leave from the grove and run just about every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I’ve taken skyline to concerts and lake Travis as well. Honestly I’m sure they would take you to anything in the area if you asked. And $ 10 is less than you wi pay in gas+parking or worse a DWI. rage responsibly people.

Love love love skyline! Most nights you can take a bus for only $ 10 from San Marcos to Austin and back. You would pay that in parking alone if you were to drive. Great atmosphere, safe, and affordable. Can it get any better???

Excellent bus quality. The #1 bus company in Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio. Small high end buses up to the larger quantity buses for the ragers. Even Weekend Routes From SM to ATX, regularly.

I will never use skyline buses again. Every time I have been on a bus with the owner, he’s fighting and arguing with people. Most of the time they’re girls too! He’s constantly on a power trip is always threatening to throw people off the bus… Uh excuse me, I paid to take this bus to and from 6^th street, you better believe it’s taking me home. I took a bus this past weekend and the entire 30 minute bus ride back the owner and his 2 or 3 friends were fighting/​arguing with a group of people mainly because they were screaming in girls faces. Oh also, our bus didn’t even show up to «The Grove» (where they pick up) until 11:15. We we’re suppose to leave at 10:15… We also didn’t get back until like 3am.
Never again will I use these buses.

Buses leave at 10 means buses leave after every possible seat is sold. (10:45 in our case)
Music means whichever girl hits on the guy in charge gets to be in charge of the IPOD (We listened to awful disco remixes and ghetto ghetto ghetto «rap» with no beat, just words)
10 dollars means «an extra 5 each because the bus has air conditioning» (It was 55 degrees out. Why would we have to pay 15 each for air when it is cold outside??)
There was also a group of 8 guys that were grabbing each others privates, licking ears, etc… on the way there before drinking! Don’t even want to talk about what happened on the way back. Who cares if you are gay or straight… no one wants to see that stuff on the party bus.
I miss Omar and AfterDark Entertainment from when I was a freshman. I took the party buses with them 2 nights a weekend for the first 3 months of school and never encountered anything like this. I will never go on a Skyline party bus again, even if it is free!

As far as party buses go, these guys run things in San Marcos.
Whether you need a bus to take you to 6^th Street or Lake Travis, Skyline has you covered. They offer up-​scale buses equipped with quality sounds systems and lights at an affordable rate. Most of the time you can get away with a ride to and from any destination for only $ 10.
If you need a party bus for any occasion, hit these guys up and you will be good to go. Not only will they get you there safely, but they will get you there in style!
