History

      Beginning Fall 2001, Roger, Brent and Keith traveled to every A&M away football game. It was during Fall

      2005, when the Lane family saw a converted school bus built by fans of a rival team.  The owners quickly

      invited the Lane family aboard to look around and offered them food and beverages. Coming from a

      University known for its friendliness, the Lane family quickly determined that Texas A&M needed to create

      something to welcome students, alumni, visitors, and opposing fans to campus. This is when the idea to create 

      "Bus 12" was born.

      Bus 12 was built by one family for ALL Aggies to enjoy.  It is a converted yellow school bus that was bought 

      and "remodeled" in May 2006.  It has an observation deck on top, and a patio on back.  It has a custom   

      interior, three flatscreen TVs, a mobile satellite receiver, and a strong external sound system to facilitate Aggie

      Yell Practices and to support all kinds of Aggie events.
