Did You Know?

How do bus companies handle surge pricing?

Unlike rideshare apps, most bus and limo companies use seasonal pricing rather than real-time surge pricing. Rates are highest during prom season (Aprilโ€“June), holiday party season (December), and major local events. Smart customers book during off-peak windows and avoid the premium that comes with last-minute reservations.
