The BTB Party Bus web site is down, their phone number is out of service, and their Twitter and Facebook pages are dormant. The bartender at BTB cantina said the shuttle has been shut down for a year and a half (as of summer 2013). There were problems with the car and the company could not afford to maintain it. Interestingly, He also said the shuttle service was not owned by the same company as the cantina / burrito joint.
