Motorcoach Transportation is Environmentally Friendly Transportation
We fuel our motorcoaches with mixture of B100, an environmentally friendly bio-diesel that reduces carbon emissions.
Bio-diesel is biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics fuel. Click here to download a FAQ sheet with more information on how bio-diesel is helping our environment.
Did you Know? Switching to motorcoach travel for the 12,500 miles travelled annually by the average automobile would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 4.3 tons per automobile annually. Motorcoaches are the most fuel-efficient transportation mode in North America when measured in terms of passenger miles per gallon of fuel.  Motorcoaches provide 184 passenger miles per gallon of fuel; sing le occupant automobiles, in contrast, achieve 28 passenger miles per gallon. Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by an average of 85% per passenger mile for every person who chooses motorcoach travel instead of driving alone. A single motorcoach can replace as many as 55 passenger cars on our highways. A motorcoach passenger requires 82% less fuel* than a passenger in a hybrid car. *Numbers based on fuel used per passenger miles, also based on 100 passenger miles; Occupied seats: coach-55, car-1.

Bradley & Associates. The full studies are available online at www.buses.org.
