Did You Know?
How safe are coach buses compared to other vehicles?
Motorcoaches are statistically the safest form of highway travel, with a fatality rate of 0.11 per 100 million passenger miles — compared to 0.89 for cars. Their heavy weight, low center of gravity, and professional drivers all contribute. You're about 8 times safer on a coach bus than in a passenger car.

Weekends and holidays push rates 15–25% higher, so midweek bookings stretch your dollar further. Limo service starts near $100/hr for a sedan stretch; coach buses land between $150–$400/hr. Every quote from Bus2Ride wraps in fuel, gratuity, insurance, and your driver — one price, no surprises.
