Intercity & Rural Services
Motorcoaches provide intercity transportation by providing a convenient way for many people to get from one town or city to another one. For many people living in rural areas, motorcoaches are the only available mode of intercity transportation. Scheduled intercity service is known for its affordability, focusing on safe, frequent, and punctual service.
The intercity bus industry is the backbone of the intercity transportation network. Scheduled line services are a vital link for many towns allowing residents to live and work in their communities yet travel to cities and urban centers for medical services, shopping or entertainment. On main corridors, new and innovative services are being offered, some directed to commuters and business travelers.
In addition, motorcoach operators have been working to improve intermodal (the use of more than one form of transport for a journey) connections in the U.S. transportation system, making travel seamless and continuous, through creative partnering with providers of other modes of commercial transportation services and public entities. These partnerships have also improved transportation service between metropolitan and outlying areas.
Intercity Travel Tips
- Call early for fare and schedule information; note details and bring them with you for ticketing.
- Buy tickets in advance, and purchase round-trip if possible, to avoid lines for the return trip.
- Arrive at the terminal at least 60 minutes before departure. During peak times, if your bus fills quickly, it may depart early, as extra buses may be added to the schedule.
- Put identification both inside and outside of your luggage.
- Let the bus company help you determine your best route. Most scheduled-service bus companies can arrange for interline connections with other carriers and get you to your end destination with one ticket.
- Remember to be prepared in case of weather delays
Commuter Services
Many people depend on motorcoaches to get them from where they live to where they work. In fact, for some people, motorcoaches may offer the only way to get to work. For others, commuter services take away the stress of city driving, traffic congestion, tolls, and parking. As a commuter, you can leave the driving to others while you listen to music, read the paper, or get some sleep. Also, when you choose to commute by bus, you are taking a step toward helping our environment by reducing traffic congestion and pollution.
