I wouldn't cover and run. After coming clean, I'd call my local TV station/newspaper and tell them your situation. It might be an interesting human interest story and education for their viewers/readers (so that others don't make the same mistake). I live in a hurricane-prone area. The news media is always educating people on how not to get scammed (based on the misfortune of others). Perhaps another bus company will see the piece and pitch in to help you out. It's worth a try...

Reply:I suggest finding a bus company that's still in business, buying a one-way ticket and getting the heck out of town.

Seriously, if there was nothing you could do about it, most of them will not hold it against you, but against the bus company. There will always be a few that blame you, and there is nothing you can do to make them change their mind.

Reply:More info, please. What did you have to do with the trip? Did you organize it? Why are you the one to tell the classmates the bad news?
Reply:Its best to explain to the students that the bus company has filed for bankruptcy, which means the bus company didn't have enough money to transport with the buses anymore.





You will also HAVE to come up with the 100 dollars to give each of them their full ammount back. If you do not give the students back the money they paid for the trip, your going to have alot of angry parents on your hands.





Maybe in the future you should do more research into your plans for your students before announcing the trip.
