Go Green--Rent a Charter Bus!
At US Coachways, we’re proud of the fact that charter bus rentals have a positive impact on the environment. When you travel together on a single coach, you can take as many as 20 private vehicles off the roads, significantly lowering carbon emissions. Though we've helped the planet for decades, here's an overview of how we contributed to a healthier ecosystem in 2018:
- We handled more than 20,000 charter bus trips in 2018, with an average of 55 passengers traveling approximately 350 miles. Assuming four passengers to a car, that's 14 passenger vehicles for every charter bus, or 260,000 fewer vehicles on the roads, and 91,000,000 fewer miles traveled.
- By traveling on a charter bus, rather than their own cars, our clients reduced CO2 emissions by more than 800,000 pounds, or 40 tons. Imagine 10 18-wheelers carrying the maximum weight allowed by law—that's how much carbon we kept out of the air!
- At an average of 30 miles per gallon, that's more than 3,000,000 gallons of gasoline, or about 200,000 full tanks of gas for a standard passenger vehicle.
- To absorb all the extra CO2 that the private vehicles would have added to the air, you'd need more than 17,000 full-sized trees—an area spanning more than 280 acres in a mature forest.
A Charter Bus Rental—The Smart Choice for Your Group Outing
With any group travel, there are endless details. Perhaps the most important decision you'll have to make, though, is about your mode of travel—how will you get there and back, and how will you get around while you're there. You don't want to drive, and getting a cab or taking public transportation can be a real hassle. With a charter bus, you'll be essentially worry-free:
- Charter buses are dependable—Your driver can anticipate traffic jams and find alternate ways to get you where you need to go.
- You'll have flexibility—With a charter bus, you tell us where and when you want to be picked up, where you want to go, when you want to stop, and when you're ready to come home. Last-minute and real-time adjustments to your schedule are usually not a problem. You may even be able to book an entire excursion with short notice.
- It's the most stress-free way to travel—On a charter bus, you don't have to check your GPS, battle traffic, worry about the time or try to find a place to park. Your driver handles all those details. There's no TSA security checkpoint, so you won't wait in a long line, and you can keep your shoes on and bring your favorite shampoo. You'll ride on the same bus for the whole trip and your luggage will travel with you—no worries about missed connections or lost bags. You won't have to put your phone on "bus mode" either—stay connected with friends and family.
- You'll be safe and secure—You'll have a skilled and highly trained driver. In addition, there's limited access to the bus, so comings and goings are easily monitored. You and your personal items will be safe and secure.
- A charter bus lets you ride in comfort—You can expect high-back bucket seats and climate control. You'll have more leg room than any other mode of travel and you won't bump elbows with fellow passengers—there are no middle seats. The aisles are wide and you can move about at your convenience.
