Tourists are jumping back on its double-decker bus tours of San Antonio as the pandemic eases, but a new hurdle is holding City Sightseeing back from a full recovery: a lack of drivers and ticket hawkers.
Owner David Strainge said demand is strong enough to run four of his six buses, but he has only three out on the streets for his hop-on, hop-off tours of downtown. He can’t find a driver for a fourth — never mind drivers for the two additional buses Strainge is hoping to deploy this summer.
