The shuttle bus fleet
Every vehicle we run is a shuttle bus — no sedans, no SUVs. Four sizes cover the whole range, from a nimble 14-seat Sprinter for an executive team to a 55-seat motorcoach for a park-and-ride or convention move. Pick by headcount and luggage; a planner confirms the right mix.
Sprinter Van

The honest comparison
Is a chartered shuttle better than rideshare or your own fleet?
For a group that travels together on a schedule, a chartered shuttle is almost always cheaper and more reliable than pooling rideshares or buying and staffing your own buses. Here is how the options line up.
| Factor | Commuter Shuttle Co. | Pooled rideshare | Own company fleet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost for 20+ riders | One flat vehicle rate | Multiplies per car, per trip | Capital + drivers + garage |
| One driver & one invoice | Yes | No — many cars | You employ the drivers |
| Surge / peak pricing | None — fixed rate | Yes, worst at rush & storms | N/A |
| Flight tracking & meet-greet | Included | No | Depends on staff |
| Commercial insurance & DOT | Carried & compliant | Per-driver personal | Your liability |
| Recurring reliability | Same route, same driver | Different car each time | High, if fully staffed |
| Keeps the group together | Yes — one vehicle | No — stragglers | Yes |
Rideshare comparison assumes standard app pricing; surge multipliers of 1.5×–3× are common at weekday rush, in rain or snow, and around major NYC events. Fixed shuttle rates do not surge.
