Renting a charter bus isn’t just a great and financially reasonable way to move a lot of people, it’s also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint!
Growing interest in green initiatives is encouraging the development of fuel cell charter bus rentals, hybrid electric buses and buses powered by diesel fuel or natural gas. However, even before these developments are market ready, you’re still helping the environment with your charter bus rental.
Charter buses and motorcoaches provide over 206 passenger miles per gallon of fuel versus 27 MPG for single passenger automobiles, 44 passenger MPG for domestic planes and 92 passenger MPG for commuter rails. A single coach bus can replace as many as 55 cars on the highway and is up to 84% more efficient than a passenger in a hybrid car. Buses also only emit 797 BTUs per passenger mile, versus 4,847 for airplanes, 2,450 for trains and 3,639 for cars.
What this basically means is that charter bus rentals are some of the most environmentally sound and fuel efficient options on the road for the earth-friendly traveler, and they’re only getting cleaner. More and more buses are switching to natural clean burning fuels to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to smog and global warming.
In addition to protecting the environment, charter buses also travel just about anywhere, as opposed to plains and trains that have limited stopping locations. It’s also statistically safer than traveling by car or flying, and usually has a cheaper price tag than either.
The multitude of bus companies that criss-cross the US make it easy for a lone traveler to get somewhere cheaply and efficiently, and bus rentals are way more efficient for big group trips than carpooling.
