Business

SHUTTLE SERVICE
Company shuttles from train stations, bus depots, and parking lots can reduce employee travel time, increase security, and improve morale. Our network of bus partners is currently serving large and small employers in cities all across North America. They know the local travel routes and patterns. And they know the Federal and local regulations that allow employers to pay a portion of their employees' commuting costs tax-free. Whether or not you underwrite part of your employees' travel, or pay for it in full, we can help you coordinate bus routes and schedules to fit their requirements and everybody's budget.

REGIONAL TRAVEL
Are new airport security rules making regional travel a severe drain on your people's time and productivity? If they travel regularly to sites within 200-300 miles, we'll show you how charter shuttles can be the most comfortable, cost-effective alternatives to flying or driving. For large or small groups of people traveling together, this makes certain that all arrive together. And you can specify mobile lines for phones, email and fax to help them get work done as they travel.

MEETINGS
Whether your group is going to a meeting or hosting one, we can help you arrange the best transportation on the road, and during the event as needed. The right combinaton of motor coaches and minibuses can help you give group members the individual attention they appreciate.

COMPANY OUTINGS
From picnics to ball games to regional get-togethers, company outings can be productive, sociable, and fun! Tell us who's coming, where you're going, and what you want to accomplish. We'll help you choose the right transportation that can turn your outing into a great experience.

TRAVELING EXECUTIVES
Traveling VIPS appreciate the first-class amenities of our Executive Coaches - the anytime/anywhere/any weather rival to the private business jet. Here's where luxury gets down to work, allowing your top people to function at top level on the move. Custom-built coaches can offer full bedrooms, showers, social and meeting space, and state-of-the-art telecommunications.

RELOCATION
Relocating? That can mean a lot of traveling for the group responsible for site selection. Employees, too, may require real estate tours. We can provide right-size, right-price motor coaches, with optional mobile links for PCs, phones, and email, that let everyone be productive while checking out new locations.

Conventions

SHUTTLES
Lucky you found us. We're a continent-wide network of independent operators. So, even if a convention city's sold out, it's likely we can get you a fleet of shuttle buses. You're going to need a comprehensive ground transportation plan. Because you'll probably be moving your group from the airport(s) to more than one hotel - and then over a period of days, shuttling them between exhibition venues and hotels. Giving us responsibility for the total package will give you, not just buses, but peace of mind. With our partner operators, we can plan and implement every detail of your ground transportation. We will even get you competitive bids if necessary.

AIRPORT
We give you flexible options to choose from. If your VIPs travel first-class, we can match the luxury of their flight with the impressive amenities of our custom-built Executive Coaches. If economy's more important, we can help you develop a workhorse of a bus schedule. Or if frequency's the priority, you can run multiple shuttles using affordable minibuses. And don't forget to allow room for luggage! We don't. If buses are not the right solution for your group, don't worry, we can also provide limousine services.

NIGHTLIFE
Got nightlife? We'll help you get your people to the theater, the clubs, the special events you've scheduled. If it's a multiple-stop event - like a local tour - we can help you keep track of each traveler from the time they step on the bus to the time they decide their tour's over. And your travel options range from standard shuttle buses to contemporary luxury coaches, where the party starts on the bus.

SIDE TRIPS
Side trips can be all business, or a sideshow of fun. Match the mood, your itinerary, and the size of your group with a choice of carriers. Factory tours and plant visits could require mobile phones and PC and fax hookups on your coach or van. Trips to shopping malls, historic sites, and local attractions could benefit from the distribution of informative maps and brochures. We can help you plan appropriate side trips for attendees, their traveling companions and families. We can even help you deal with the weather!

Academic

SPORTS EVENTS
Going to these events is more fun when you've got the team spirit going with you. Start with your team's own chartered bus, your own professional driver, traveling on your own schedule. We'll help you pile on the banners and decorations and school colors that salute your team. Crank up the fun with appropriate music and refreshments. And be assured that, win or lose, we'll get you to the game on time - in safety, in comfort, and on budget. Special requirements? Special equipment? Special players? Give us the details when you book the bus, and we'll carry the ball from there.

COMPETITIONS
Drama, speech, voice, cheerleading, chess players, debators - every competition away from the school should arrange safe, comfortable transportation. Traditionally, small groups traveled on 15-passenger vans, but the public transportation safety board now recognizes them as unsafe. If smaller teams can't fill all the seats, offer rides to parents and fans. Even the debate club can have groupies!

FIELD TRIPS
We know that safety is foremost in your calculations. Your budget is a close second. And your schedule is third. We treat all three of your concerns as first priority. We can help you manage it all, from our safety-first buses and experienced drivers, down to the snacks and box lunches, admission tickets and souvenirs. Tell us where and when you're going, the number and ages of your students, the number of adults, and what you'd like us to provide.

STUDENT TOURS
If you're planning an educational tour, we recommend reviewing your plans with an experienced student tour planner. Things often overlooked include prepaying all admissions, attractions, accommodations, guided tours, and meals, so students are not responsible for any money other than for their own souvenirs. And be aware that long overnight drives leave students and chaperones sleepy and not functioning at their best. Trips requiring over eight hours of driving will need "second shift" drivers. Student charters require the highest level of safety and economy, including drivers who are experienced at transporting younger people.

Private Groups

SOCIAL
There'd be more volunteers arranging transportation for outings if they had the support of our experienced staff. Taking your local team to an out-of-town baseball game? How about sports videos, music and refreshments aboard a bus? The Garden Club on a neighborhood tour? Think of souvenir maps, perhaps a slide show. Music lovers to a concert? Live commentary, with or without music. A political club to a rally? Banners, posters and music, of course. Riders want to nap, read, just look out the window? Consider sleep masks, ear plugs, area maps. We'll help you determine the kinds of buses you'll need, establish pickup and dropoff points, and make the trip itself a part of the outing.

MILITARY
Old soldiers never die, they just arrange reunions to see old friends and reminisce. When you plan yours with us, you can start the meeting-and-greeting on the bus with food and refreshments - and let the good times roll! We provide group transportation to conventions, conferences and meetings, as well. And we support the Armed Forces "focus on families" with recreational trips - to skiing, fishing, golf, bicycling, beach vacations, you name it - for active duty and retired military personnel, DoD civilians and/or their family members, and other members of the military community.

GOVERNMENT
How do you get to the White House? The Department of Justice chartered a bus. Yankee Stadium? New York City's office of parks and recreation did the same. Government agencies of all sizes are enjoying the benefits of chartering "The Wheels of Government" for meetings, conventions, tours, site visits, recreation and more. We are experienced in meeting any local or federal government body's specific travel requirements, including special billing and payment options.

CULTURAL
Whether you're traveling for fun, fund-raising, or raising your voice on important public issues - your group stays a group when you travel together. Out of town or close to home, we transport groups of all sizes to parades, picnics, rallies, meetings, dinners, games, retreats, and formal functions. Need a fleet? Radio contact between vehicles? Just ask. We can help you identify your group's buses with posters, decorations and music. And identify your proud members with special t-shirts, caps and mementos of your trip.

RELIGIOUS GROUPS
Let your voices carry! Our buses can transport your church group to rehearsals, church appearances, concerts and festivals. And we can gather your flock! With so many congregants moving further away from the church they are most comfortable with, we can bring them back for worship. Are your youth groups planning a trip? Your children going to camp? Your congregants going sightseeing? Your board members to a meeting? We go wherever and whenever you go.

Family

REUNIONS
Start the reunion on the bus! Our comfortable coaches get the whole family together in a party mood, and keep the mood going as we transport them to all the places and events you've planned. It's a great opportunity to share and record stories, take pictures, and enjoy snacks from the galley. Decorate the inside of your bus with family photos and memorabilia. Special equipment and assistance can be provided for your oldest and youngest members. If you've gathered everyone in one place, we'll pick them all up together. We can even arrange to pick up family members along the way. We can help you pre-plan your reunion, helping you select the best meeting place, lodging, attractions and entertainment.

WEDDINGS
Weddings are celebrations! So it's not surprising that many guests, celebrating the happy occasion to the full, may leave the reception in no condition to drive. Concerned hosts will keep the occasion happy by providing local transportation to all guests who desire it - or require it. And that's one more reason to include The BusBank in your wedding plans. We not only get whole wedding parties to the church on time, we transport members and guests to and from their hotels, the church, and the reception. And our elegant limousines and executive coaches help newlyweds make their getaway in style. Be assured that with our professional "designated drivers" at the wheel, your guests will be comfortable enjoying the festivities to the full. Be sure to include transportation details in your wedding invitations.

VACATIONS
Is the thought of airport security or long hours of driving taking the fun out of your vacation plans? How about chartering a private motor coach and driver for your whole family and/or friends? Luxury options like lounge seating, wet bar, entertainment center, toilet and shower will start the vacation en route. And with a professional driver up front, even back-seat drivers can loosen up and enjoy the ride. Travel analog or digital; pack plenty of coloring books, games, and playing cards but don't forget the computers, either. It is possible to stay online with a mobile link. Hey - getting there could be all the fun!
