If you’re looking into traveling in the near future, consider the opportunity to travel comfortably on a bus. Charter buses and motorcoaches alike have grown more popular than ever before here in the United States, something that has been more than backed up by the data that has been gathered on the subject. In fact, it has been found that as many as 751 million trips are made via motorcoach over the course of a single year alone, meaning that motorcoaches actually transport more people – at least here in the United States – than major commercial airlines do.

After all, there are many reasons that it is beneficial to travel by bus – and many times when traveling by bus is largely appropriate over other forms of travel. For some people, taking a bus such as a charter bus or a motorcoach is likely to be the only way to gain access to certain areas of the country. This is particularly true of rural America, sections of this country that are home to more than 14 million people from one coast to the next. In these parts of the country, motorcoach systems and other such bus systems are often the only forms of transportation going in and out of the nearest city, connecting even the most rural parts of this country with the rest of it.

Bus travel, as done on a motorcoach or a charter bus, is also much more environmentally friendly than traveling via other forms of transportation, public or otherwise. For one thing, motorcoaches and charter buses get more than 200 passenger miles per gallons, while the average single family car gets only just over 27 of these passenger miles per gallon. This clearly shows the efficiency of the average charter bus or motorcoach, and efficiency that can be seen in a number of other statistics that have been gathered on the subject of efficiency as well.

For instance, the amount of CO2 that is released into the environment is much less when a charter bus or a motorcoach is driven than for many other types of transport that are popular here in the United States. In fact, the average charter bus or motorcoach will be up to three times more efficient than a commuter rail and even more considerably efficient (around six times) than the average transit bus. And all of the above forms of public transportation are still better than the average car.

There are, of course, many uses for motorcoaches and charter buses as well, and the option to rent a charter bus or take a tour bus has grown considerably over the course of recent years. For instance, taking a tour bus can be a great tourist activity for many a vacation, particularly those to major cities dotting the country. After all, there is so much of a city to see and so little time to see it in. A tour bus can help to condense sightseeing considerably, leaving time for other vacation pursuits while still providing a wholly enjoyable experience for many people visiting any given city here in the United States.

Renting a charter bus can be ideal for family groups – particularly the larger ones – as well. Take, for instance, the typical family reunion. By nature, the average family reunion is likely to be quite largely sized indeed. After all, family from all around the country and even all around the world is likely to be gathering and reconnecting. Renting a motorcoach can streamline issues of transportation, as motorcoaches can often hold as many as 55 people, if not even more than that. For getting from point a to point b, a charter bus or motorcoach can be ideal for usage during any sizable family event.

At the end of the day, motorcoaches and charter buses are very important indeed. In the years that are ahead of us, this importance is only likely to keep growing, especially since more and more people are striving to be more environmentally friendly in their day to day lives. Riding on a motorcoach is one way to do so.
