Recreation Plantation/Senior Adventures basically charters the buses and leaves them open for anyone to buy a ticket. It's a good for system for them. Lovely trips to some nice venues.

Something like this might work for TV clubs but I doubt it. One, they deserve the convenience and perceived security of being picked up at a rec center. It is, after all, a club activity. Two, I can't imagine a club wanting to share their bus with strangers even if there were seats available and could make the cost a little less.

I'm trying to imagine what will happen when the BoSox play the Yanks in spring training. You now have two clubs who normally charter buses to go to the game but only one large bus available to rent. I feel sorry for the individual who would have to tell either a Bostonian or a New Yorker the bus has already been chartered, but they could rent a few airport-type vans to take their group or have to tell them they SOL. I'd do a duck and cover on that one.
