"wonderful guide with knowledge and passion for her city".

Julia was a wonderful guide who clearly demonstrated her knowledge and passion for the city. I moved to Colorado 6 months ago, but never would have known any of the state's history without a tour like this! My out-of-town parents also had a great time, and are excited to come back and visit some of the stops again. Thanks! - Kayley E.

Thank you for your assistance in booking the bus for our annual outing.  The bus fare exceeded my expectations (as well as the staff) and I will be sure to recommend your services in the future.  Have a great day and thank you again!

Erickson, Brown & Kloster, P.C.

I was on a National Park tour from Denver to Phoenix in August.  Georgia was our bus driver.  She was The Best driver friend ever. I was in the travel business for 25 years and I’ve never had a bus driver like Georgia. She was so gracious and friendly and helpful when needed.

I would like to compliment Dan, the driver for our tour to Los Alamos, New Mexico Oct. 15-18.  In addition to outstanding service, he took pride in responding to requests from guests for rest stops, meals, and access to particular attractions while paying full attention to and explanations for compliance with DOT regulations.  Dan is a great representative for Ramblin Express.

I usually ride the casino bus a couple of times a week. I had always been able to print up my ticket on line but I was having difficulty the last time. I had paid for 5 tickets and yet wasn't able to get them to print. Naturally, I was concerned.  I was directed to call accounting and I did talk to Diane. What a great asset Diane is to your team. She was so nice and immediately tried to help me be able to print the tickets, but due to my limited computer skills, I still was unable to print them. I was wondering what I was going to do and Diane offered to print them up and mail them to me. How wonderful is that!  It seems like it's not very often anymore that one has such a friendly, professional and caring person help them. I am really impressed. I am so glad she works for your company.  I did receive my tickets in the mail right away.  So, again, thank you Diane!

Manitou Springs

Thank you so very much for the wonderful service !  This is our 11th year working with Ramblin !   We can’t thank you all enough for all you do for us !  We feel very fortunate  - thank you ! Just exceptional in every  way - - thank you !  We are excited to move forward again with you all this year !  Thank you so very much!

Take Back Title IX Summer 2024 bus tour visits Utah capitol

By jackson payne for ksl.com | posted - june 13, 2024 at 10:14 p.m., the independent women's forum bus is parked in front of the utah capitol during the take back title ix summer 2024 bus tour in salt lake city on tuesday. (isaac hale, deseret news).

Estimated read time: 2-3 minutes

SALT LAKE CITY — The Independent Women's Forum brought its Take Back Title IX bus tour to Salt Lake City Tuesday as part of the Our Bodies, Our Sports movement, which claims to be the "largest and most ideologically diverse women's movement of our time."

More than 70 local residents came to the Utah capitol to welcome and mingle with the bus of activists involved with the movement, which aims to "protect women's sports, (and) call attention to the Biden administration's Title IX regulations and the devastating impact the new rules will have on women and the growing threat to women's equal athletic opportunity, privacy, and safety," the tour's website reads.

The tour features a number of former NCAA athletes and coaches who are sharing their experiences in athletics to raise support for increased protection for women's sports under Title IX, including enforcing single-sex spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms.

"Every single story of the ladies featured on this tour is unique, important and must be heard," said Brianna Howard, the Independent Women's Forum's external relations manager who currently manages the bus tour. "They're making change and it's important that their voices be heard."

Among the women on the tour is Kim Russell, who was terminated from her position as head coach of the Oberlin College women's lacrosse program in 2023 after a lengthy period of conflict with the school following her public comments regarding transgender individuals competing in college athletics.

"We are erasing all women to make a male who identifies as a woman feel comfortable," Russell told the Deseret News. "We are putting all women in harm's way in order to make one male who feels uncomfortable feel comfortable. That is not kind. There are only two sexes, and if we don't come back to that basic truth, women will be erased.

"We are here specifically to bring the truth. When people say this isn't about inclusion, it is. We are about the inclusion of women. We are about the inclusion of every human being. The truth is, there are two sexes, and kindness is telling the truth."

The Independent Women's Forum does not view the issues driving the bus tour as political, citing support received from members all across the political spectrum.

"Defending common sense and sex-based rights for women should not be political, and historically has not been as political as it is now, but we have folks who just do not understand what a woman is or refuse to define what a woman is, and it's why we're here," Howard said. "We shouldn't have to have this tour, but unfortunately we're doing this so women from future generations and current generations have the protections they need under the law."

The bus tour began May 29 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and continued on to Las Vegas Wednesday, wrapping up June 28 in Nashville. The Salt Lake City event was officially hosted by the Utah Eagle Forum.
