WOOO: Party Buses Remind Us Why We Don’t Party
20 April 2009, 1:59 PM. By Alex Alvarez
Tired of being ignored at clubs, bars and house parties? Want to liven up your relatively non-existent social life? Why not take a cue from today’s Puerto Rican youth and party on a bus! While the trend itself is nothing new, there is an expectedly ridiculous subculture emerging around the decision to party on a moving vehicle. WOOOOO! Grab your glow sticks and a roofies and let’s get to getting.
Teens in PR augment their party bus experience by wearing giant sunglasses, hair gel, glowing accessories and bright clothing. “It’s a rave!” you might say. And yes, it sort of is just like another subculture that’s passed from the strip mall-strewn landscapes of Middle America to the nightclubs of Europe and Latin America after everyone here admitted, embarrassed, that making out with some goggle-wearing Kentucky native named “Chez Dawg” while on E is neither hot nor exciting.
The bus is a popular option for quinces, as well as f0r bachelor and bachelorette parties because nothing competes with being confined in a very small space with people who pretend to tolerate you.
Parents like the party bus because it allows them to keep a close eye on their kids and provides (a slightly) less chance of someone running off to the bathroom to get all Teen Pregnant. Says the mother of a quiceañera who rented a party bus:
It doesn’t require a lot of preparation beforehand, no venue to rent, food, drink, invitations or clean-up. Security is good because you get to choose the invitees and ensure that they’re supervised by an adult. They don’t serve alcoholic drinks or cigarettes. You don’t have to be concerned with people driving around.
Why not just rent out the ball pit at Burger King? It’s got the same elements: Adult supervision, no alcohol, and vomit.

All it takes is just one person to use the on-board restroom and the party is over.
so there is actually no alcohol on these buses?
Not if it’s a quinces.
They have to apply for a license if they want to be able to have people drink while on board, so I think many actually don’t allow it.
And then there’s always the risk of this happening: http://www.27east.com/story_detail.cfm?id=203454
Wow. Thats all kinds of fucked up!
There is if you count up the obscene amount of hair gel and body spray.
If you were drunk on the public bus at 1am, after having left the bars, does that count as having ridden on a party bus? What about riding the bus after having taken a hallucinogen? I ask on behalf of a friend. :)
I think this is a great idea. I mean not all teens are as fucked up as everyone thinks. In that sparty we had a great time , their wasn’t any alcohol or drugs. Yes i was there, and we dances and sung and talked a lot. We were just celebrating out friends 16 birthday. I cant believe people are making such big deal. God go get real News and this party bus thing is not a new thing. Its been around a while. And seriously this article is pathetic. And I cant believe is wrong to party with friends? Did any of you do that? Wow its just amazing !
No. Some of us never went to parties with friends. Some of us spent our teen years writing goth poetry at home. And then some of us grew up to work on the internet.
It shows!
Hello! can someone give the phone number, name and/or website where I can get more info on the party bus. I would like this for my daughter’s 15th birthday.
Thanks,
