    The Motor Coach Metamorphosis 2012 Year-in-Review of Intercity Bus Service in the United States Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development January 6, 2013 Joseph P. Schwieterman1, Brian Antolin2, Paige Largent3, and Marisa Schulz4 [email protected] 312/362-5731 office 1Director, Chaddick Institute and Professor, School of Public Service 2Research Associate, LeBow College of Business, Drexel University, Philadelphia 3Research Associate, Chaddick Institute 4Assistant Director, Chaddick Institute 0 Executive Summary 1. Intercity bus service grew by 7.5% between the end of 2011 and 2012—the highest rate of growth in four years. Conventional bus lines, after declining modestly between 2010 and 2011, expanded by 1.4%, in part due to Greyhound and Peter Pan’s new specialty services. 2. Service by discount city-to-city operators (discount operators) that do not use traditional terminals in many cities, such as BoltBus and Megabus, surged by 30.6%. For the first time, this sector accounts for more than 1,000 daily scheduled operations. BoltBus’ expansion in the Pacific Northwest and Megabus’ expansion in California, Nevada, and Texas have greatly expanded the sector’s visibility on the national travel scene. 3. Conventional and discount operators appear to be benefitting from the federal crackdown of “Chinatown” bus operators, several dozen of which were shut down on May 31, 2012 for noncompliance with certain safety regulations. 4. Discount operators are developing new technologies to inform customers about service issues, such as delays and cancellations. Such innovations have also helped operators find arrival and departure locations that create less neighborhood interference at hub cities than in the past.

  • An Investigation Into the Most Unsafe Bus Companies Operating in New York
    Independent Democratic Conference Violations by the Busload: An Investigation Into the Most Unsafe Bus Companies Operating in New York September 2017 INTRODUCTION At 6:15 a.m. on September 18, 2017, a bus owned by the Dahlia Group, a charter bus company, crashed into an MTA Q20 bus making a turn onto Northern Boulevard in Flushing, Queens1. The crash left three people dead, including a passenger on the Q20, a pedestrian, and the driver of the charter bus. The investigation into the crash has revealed that the driver of the charter bus who died, Raymond Mong, had previously been involved in a drunk driving incident in Connecticut2 in 2015, upon which he fled the scene of the accident and was subsequently convicted of related charges. The MTA fired him before he started working for the Dahlia Group. Mr. Mong was driving at twice the speed limit the day of the Queens bus crash3 and ignored a red light before crashing into the Q20 bus. It has also been reported that the Dahlia Group failed to notify the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles as required by law that it had hired a driver with a drunk driving conviction4. Along with violating state law, the Dahlia Group has been cited for multiple unsafe driving violations since 20155, including incidents of drivers going more than 15 miles above the speed limit and drivers ignoring traffic control devices6. The company was also involved in a deadly crash last year in Connecticut.7 Following this fatal September crash, the Independent Democratic Conference decided to examine the records of bus companies being used by New Yorkers to find if other companies have similarly poor records with regards to unsafe driving.
