Cast Member bus catches fire

It’s fine with me, but it has made me go from portrait to landscape viewing on my phone to more easily navigate. Page numbers and bread crumbs are truncated or don’t show at all in portrait view on my iPhone XR.

Thanks for the tip! Works better for me in landscape too!

Cast Member bus catches fire

Based on what I’ve read this is a common occurrence. These buses apparently break down and catch fire all the time.

Those weren’t posted here but have all been posted on the SWGE subforum. They are within the Play Disney Parks app.

I hope they never put the CM transportation people in charge of rides.

May 2019 Rumor Round Up

Things might have changed. (But, I doubt it.) But, back when I was a Cast Member, the College Program (CP) buses were operated by a third-party company. And it wasn't Mears Transportation (who runs Disney's Magical Express).

The CP buses often use Hotel Plaza Blvd. That's where I usually stay, so I've seen them. They look just as down-market and sad as when I was a Cast Member.

Not great for CP folks. But, the good news for guests is that there's zero chance the people running those buses will ever be in charge of an attraction.

Still true. They recently changed providers. Previously it was TransDev. Not sure what the name of the new company is.
(Edited to correct the name)

It's now transdev. My son is a cp but thankfully was not on the bus. Several reports of the CPs getting points for being late too.
