Reading the table
The Sprinter is the bachelor party vehicle. 28.6% of bachelor-party quotes are on a limo-style Sprinter, the highest share of any occasion, and bachelor groups are also the smallest at a median 12 riders. Small group, several stops, downtown parking: that is the Sprinter's brief.
Prom and homecoming are where the stretch limousine still wins second place. Everywhere else the Sprinter has displaced it. Prom is also the only occasion where nearly half of trips run six hours or more, so the limousine is being booked for the arrival, not the night.
Coaches are 1.6% of quotes and almost all of them are large groups. Groups that end up on a coach or shuttle bus are typically 35 people, with the middle half between 25 and 50, and their past quotes cluster around $1,800.
