Consider All the Benefits of Taking a Charter Bus to Syracuse
Keeping everyone content on any type of group trip can be a big responsibility and a thankless task, but there's one decision that will go a long way toward ensuring a great trip—choosing a charter bus for your ground transportation. With a charter bus, you'll have:
- Dependable transportation — With most other forms of travel, delays and cancellations are an everyday occurrence. Not with a charter bus! Your driver has the tools and resources to identify potential problems in advance and find alternate routes to get you where you need to go when you need to be there. In addition, because of our access to charter bus vendors nationwide, we can usually find a replacement coach without much difficulty.
- Virtually unlimited flexibility — You set the time you want to leave. You tell us where and when you want to stop and how long you want to stay. You tell us when you're ready to leave. Want to stay in Syracuse a little while longer or take a side trip? In most instances, we can make it happen. You won't find that kind of control with any other type of travel.
- Safety — You'll have a skilled and trained professional at the wheel. In addition, the access to your coach is highly controlled, so you won't have to worry about strangers poking around in your personal belongings. You'll be safe and secure.
- More travel for your money — On a charter bus, you share most of the costs of travel. That makes it consistently one of the most cost-effective ways to take a group anywhere.
- Comfort — You'll have plush, high-back bucket seats and more leg room than on any other form of travel. There's no middle seat, either. The aisles are spacious and you won't have to have your seatbelt on for the entire trip.
- Convenience — You won't have to keep your eyes on the road, check the GPS, look at your watch or try to find parking—your driver will take care of all those details. There's no TSA security checkpoint, so you can keep your shoes on and bring your favorite shampoo. You'll be on the same coach for your entire trip and your luggage will travel with you—no concerns about missed connections or lost bags. Your devices won't interfere with navigational systems—you can stay wired at all times.
- Access to the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes — That means fewer worries about getting stuck in traffic
- The many uses of the bus — It's an ideal place for a group meeting, as well as a good spot for some quiet time in the middle of a hectic trip to Syracuse
- The opportunity to have a positive impact on the environment — When you travel by charter bus, you take as many as 20 private vehicles off the roads. That can significantly lower carbon emissions.
