The driver was uncooperative and after all the luggage was claimed, the driver then went up and down the aisles with a plastic bag picking up garbage. There as nothing we could do
But this bus probably a Villages bus. And I can see banning cruise buses. Those would be in direct competition with something offered by a vendor., non-Villagers are frequently on these buses and cars would be parked for days in the lots. In this instance, allowing only a vendor paying to use parking lot facilities makes sense.

What I cannot see is banning club charters for day trips. Even in high season, there are usually spaces available in the far reaches of the rec center lots. This is stopping Villagers from enjoying activities with their clubs. Seems to me this is part of the lifestyle of TV and is now being taken away.
