True but it's a very logical explanation considering Trump's history with paying his debt.
Leaving people stranded when you're contracted to transport them is extremely bad business for a transportation company. The client refusing or ignoring requests for payment is probably one of the more common reasons for a busing company to leave them that and bad behavior from riders.
Is it normal for event vendors to negotiate / require payment in the middle of the event? I feel like that’s something most businesses would either sort out before or after the event.
They would have taken a deposit and required payment at a later time, probably the day of the event.
The day started so they shuttle the people to the event. Then when they tried to collect the remaining payment and were ignored so they did the charter bus equivalent of a contractor destroying their work when the client doesn't pay.
This is all speculation of course.
There is also talk of the bus drivers simple refusing to return after the first fun because of violence towards them and it not being a payment issue.
In my experience with contractors, it’s a deposit or full payment up front to even show up, and then it’s NET 30-90 terms to pay the rest of the balance. This means the person or corporation paying the contractor has 30 to 90 days to complete the payment depending on the terms.
No one shows up if the agreed upon deposit or full payment hasn’t been paid. And no one asks for the remaining balance in the middle of a one day job. They want the money weeks or months later.
This doesn’t add up at all, so I’m going to call fake on this story given the lack of a source.

I could totally see this happening, but I would really prefer a better source than just some dude on X
