Homewood Trip FAQs

1. Out-of-County Bus Fees: $5 per trip/person

It is the policy of Homewood Frederick to charge a $5 fee per person for all out-of- county trips.

2. Need to cancel? Unfortunately, if the tickets (if any) have already been purchased you will be responsible for the price of the tickets. You may be able to sell your ticket to someone on the wait list. There will be a deadline to cancel date for each trip. Cancel on the APP as soon as you can to allow someone from the wait list the opportunity to participate.

3. Ticket Prices are Approximate. What is charged to your monthly bill is the actual cost of the tickets. Typically we publish the average price for seating available in that venue. Sometimes we are offered discounts for a group.

Occasionally there are fees involved.

4. If you need to bring or use a wheelchair, please indicate (type in) that when you sign-up so the driver can plan ahead.

5. Please indicate (type in) on the APP where you want to be picked up. Some of our new drivers don’t know you and it would be very helpful to know where you will be so they don’t miss anyone.

6. Remember to be ready and waiting at least 15 minutes prior to the leave time that is listed.

7. Masks MUST be worn in all Homewood vehicles – regardless of vaccination status.

8. Only residents of Homewood are allowed in the Homewood vehicles at this time, so no guests will be able to participate in trips.
