Scheduled and Charter Bus Services in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Picking up the pieces: The success of low-cost curbside scheduled bus companies will likely drive industry revenue growth

The Scheduled and Charter Bus Services industry offers passenger bus services not associated with a regional transit agency. Charter bus companies are often non-employers or small companies that provide airport transport services, convention transportation, city tours by bus and other similar services. Scheduled bus service companies tend to be industry leaders, having a national presence. Traditional scheduled bus services are relatively inexpensive but travel slowly and stop frequently. In contrast, low-cost curbside services are less expensive and travel at express speeds between urban centers.

Operators in the Scheduled and Charter Bus Services provide scheduled and chartered bus transportation services. Scheduled buses provide intercity, rural and other long-distance transport services on regular routes and schedules. Conversely, charter bus services are contracted out on an as-needed basis. This industry does not include urban public bus transport (report 48511) or school and employee commuter bus transport services (48541).
