![]() I definitely remember having to run down the street after some one tried to “help” me recycle my bike by throwing it on a trailer and trying to drive away on the last day. You could possibly recycle your bike at the gate before you leave, I think I remember something like that. You need to leave with everything you brought in so maybe $150 on the way out too. So, you are looking at $150 on the way in realistically. The to flame seems to be expensive from Reno $60 a ticket (with two bags) $40 for an extra bag (and the space limits are the same as on air lines), if you would like to bring a bike it is $50 each way. I was looking into the to flame bus or the burner express and honestly, as long as the luggage restrictions are reasonable I would go with the burner express. Excluding legitimate scheduled bus services such as To Flame and only giving preference to BM Express and Tortoise gives the appearance of favoritism. (For now I plan to ride To Flame, but I am not connected with them in any way). I am aware that some who come in a bus that is de-facto a RV for themselves and a few might try to abuse this, but there has to be a way to let legitimate bus services such as To Flame into the priority bus group. I am thinking here of the express lanes on freeways, where all commercial busses with high occupancy can use them. IMHO this should not just BM Express or Tortoise as an incentive for burners to come in and leave on a scheduled bus to avoid long lines on entry and exit day. Why only grant Burner Express (Bus Bank) and Green Tortoise express entry/exodus and not other busses such as To Flame bus? It would seem that if other bus services such as To Flame are also reducing road congestion, that they also should be given express entrance/departure to make BM attendees think in their BM travel plans to book a scheduled bus in and out with express entrance/exit being one of the incentives for burners using scheduled busses including To Flame. Having only the standard option from S F might encourage that sort of booking (folks not bringing in their food and water) thus causing other problems on the playa during the event (more folks begging other campers for food and or water and a temptation for these people to crash theme camp meals intended for theme camp members only).Ģ. The To Flame bus to San Francisco does the exodus Sunday before Temple Burn, so right now I feel stuck between taking BM express bus and not bringing enough food/water and taking To Flame and missing the temple burn and having to wait longer to get in and out on arrival and exodus because To Flame is not allowed express bus lanes coming or exodus.ī, I am concerned that some new to BM might reserve your S F Bus and with the standard luggage allowance bring suitcase and tent but neglect to bring their food and water. For me that leaves only the To Flame bus from S F which does offer extra luggage and bike transport (for extra charges). a, Why no extra luggage option (“large luggage allowance”) from San Francisco? Since we are pretty much de-facto required to bring in our own food and water, that pretty much shuts out any one from San Francisco like myself bringing a duffel bag (suitcase size) (item 1) a tent (item 2), food (item 3), water (item 4) and makes us use a separate bike transport option such as Playa Bike Transport. To purchase tickets, visit the Burner Express website.ġ. Once inside BRC, bus riders have the option of camping in a reserved camping section on the 6 o’clock access road or taking shuttles out to 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock along G Street.įor more information, see the FAQ on our Burner Express page. (Please note: ONLY Burner Express and Green Tortoise buses are permitted in the bus lane.) ![]() There will be a “bus only” lane to sidestep traffic backups at Gate and Greeters, and bus passengers will have their own Will Call station for speedier ticket pick up. Large motor coach buses will take Burners to Gerlach, where they will hop on smaller buses for the ride into Black Rock City. Departures begin from both locations Saturday, August 24 and return trips begin Friday, August 30. Additional charges apply for extra luggage or for a stop at a grocery store in Reno. Tickets start at $60 one way from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport and $95 one way from the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. ![]() This service offers early arrival, speedier entrance, ticket pick up, reserved camping and quicker departures.īurner Express is ideal for participants flying into the event and for Burners involved in art projects and theme camps having their gear hauled in by campmates. In an effort to reduce traffic and limit the environmental impact of our event, Burning Man organizers are offering the Burner Express bus service with pickups in San Francisco and the Reno airport to Black Rock City and back. ![]()
