Glacier NP Red Bus discounts?

I was wondering if the America the Beautiful Senior Pass discount works for the Red Bus tours? The booking website is down right now so I couldn't get any information.

I'm guessing the pass does not work because it appears that Xanterra operates the Red Bus Tours.

Are there any other possible discounts?

    No discount with the geezer pass.

    The red bus tour cars have tops that open or close if it's raining or bad weather.

    The open tops allow you to see much more than with all enclosed vehicles.

    On our tour we had the top open. All I can say is WOW. On our return trip back down about half way it started to rain.
    The (driver-guide) stopped the car and closed the top.

    We are so glad we took the "RED BUS" tour.
  • No discounts.

    As the 'driver' I rarely get to LOOK when we would go adventuring around an area.

    I thoroughly enjoyed sitting back, relaxing and LOOKING w/o having to pay attention to the road!

    Well worth the price!

    x2 no help.
  • We took the native american bus tour in an enclosed vehicle which is better than the red bus which is open to the elements if either hot or cold.
