Reservations are
taken on a "first come, first
served" basis. A waiting list will be maintained once the bus(es) are
filled. No tickets will be issued - the bus driver will have a roster
of paid
passengers. Reservations may be canceled with credit for any reason up
to the
time that roster is sent to the bus company (usually 48 hours before
the run). Email
cancellation requests to wppcbus@west-point.org.
After the roster has been sent, cancellations with credit will be
extended when
(1) the reason is beyond the cadet's control, and (2) either the bus
driver or wppcbus@west-point.org
are notified
before the bus departs.
The
pick-up/drop-off point at USMA is generally in
the
parking lot by Clinton Field behind the Supe's box on The Plain.. The
bus has
four destinations along Interstate 95 Highway: 1) Park
'N Ride at White Marsh Mall in MD, 2)
Laurel Rest Area along I-95 in MD, 3)
