  • Adding on Amenities, Broadening the Base 2014 Year-In-Review of Intercity Bus Service in the United States
    Adding on Amenities, Broadening the Base 2014 Year-in-Review of Intercity Bus Service in the United States EMBARGOED UNTIL 1/12/15 DRAFT COPY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development January 12, 2015 Joseph P. Schwieterman1, Brian Antolin2, Gary Scott2, and Martin Sellers2 [email protected] 312/362-5731 office 1Director, Chaddick Institute and Professor, School of Public Service 2Research Associate Executive Summary Intercity bus service providers added more than 100 new daily services across the United States in 2014, resulting in a 2.1% increase in daily scheduled operations. While bus service grew, Amtrak train-miles held constant, and the number of airline flights diminished by 3.5%. A flurry of initiatives to introduce new amenities catering to business travelers and luxury- oriented pleasure travelers are broadening the sector’s appeal. New premium services on Red Coach, Royal Sprinter, and Vonlane point to an accelerating trend to make these features focal points of investment. Megabus introduced reserved seating, added extensive new service in Florida, and continues to move aggressively towards building a national network of interconnected hubs that cater to both short- and longer-distance trips. Carriers are increasingly “selling flexibility” to allow passengers to change their departure times at only a modest expense—in sharp contrast to the restrictive (and costly) airline policies. Bus travel-booking websites, most notably Wanderu and Busbud, are encouraging reluctant bus travelers to try this mode of transportation. These websites offer a convenient means of comparison-shopping, much as Expedia, Orbitz, and Travelocity do for air travel. 1 Introduction Intercity bus service providers are attracting an ever-widening range of passengers through the introduction of sought-after amenities and services.
