There are two moments any serious festival-goer dreads. The first is when someone offers you your favourite brand of poison at two in the morning and you forlornly shake your already addled head. "Yeah, nah," you mope responsibly, "cheers, but I'm driving."
The second is when you take that proffered can, and the six-pack it rode in on, and find yourself curled up at a truck stop roughly a thousand light years from your bed waiting for your BAC to reach a less flammable potency.
Never again. Banana Bus Festival Transport is here to render those dreadful scenarios extinct.
"There's no hiding that drugs and alcohol are a part of festival culture," says Owner and Director Dougie Harvey, "and Banana Bus offers a safe, reliable, and fucking rad way to get you there and back without the concern of putting anyone's life in danger on the roads." With that goal in mind, Harvey was "inspired to create a service that eliminated inconvenience for festival goers and allowed them to have the best time possible."
What he came up with was a unique suburban-based pick-up and drop-off festival shuttle service that's refreshingly useable - with an app provides an inbuilt ticketing system and ensures secure payments through Stripe. So instead of designating drivers or trekking your camping gear to a city depot, you just select your desired pick-up/drop-off location, which festival you need wheels to, and then crack a tin, friend, you're on your way.
Each Banana Bus guest gets a complimentary festival survival kit upon arrival, including amenities such as a reusable drawstring bag, water bottle, paw-paw ointment, condom, and souvenir Polaroid. This season Banana Bus has also introduced the option for guests to purchase additional luggage, so you don't have to skimp on extra large eskies or extraordinary costumes.
Banana Bus runs services to a swathe of major and boutique VIC festivals throughout the year - including Falls (Lorne), UNIFY, Rainbow Serpent, Babylon, Strawberry Fields, Earthcore, The Pleasure Garden, Meredith, Pitch, Seven Sisters, Gaytimes, Grampians Music Festival, Boogie, and Groovin' The Moo.
