How do you get to the World Cup without shelling out a fortune?
Well, maybe you take a school bus.
That's where the Providence Tartan Army comes in.
We were very disappointed in Boston.They robbed us blind.
Instead of paying $80 for commuter rail tickets to and from Foxborough, these Scotland fans chartered a fleet of more than 20 yellow school buses.
We spoke to a few bus companies, and the prices were incredible.So we then had a little bit of a joke.Let's get some school buses.The schools are off.And all of a sudden, we rented almost every school bus in Rhode Island.We've also got about $16 ,000 of beer.
And then we've got the biggest backlog party in Steelgate you've ever seen.
and onto the buses before we get on.
I got to ride with the Tartan Army for game one against Haiti.
And it's a lot more comfortable than I was expecting.And it's super fun out here.
School buses and, well, back home are traditional larger buses.The yellow bus idea is more that we watch on The Simpsons, really.
The ride was only about 45 minutes long, and the beer was flowing throughout.
I've never been on a school bus like this before.
Thousands more Scots descended on Providence this week for the World Cup, but not all of them will be watching at the stadium.
It suddenly grew arms and legs, it became a monster, and we estimate now there's maybe 12 ,000 Scots in Providence.
They're hoping to party the way Scots know best.
I met this guy two days ago and he's like a brother already.We heard Scotland the Brave playing so we had to come find our way here and they immediately welcomed us in, gave us sunglasses, gave us a drink and made us feel at home.I'm so grateful that I live in this city that has put this event on.
