Sharethebus (YC W16) Makes It Easy to Organize a Charter Bus Trip

• paulgb 11y ago
  Cool! Two suggestions: - make it clear on the main page where you currently operate (I see from the FAQ that it's Can/US). - provide quote estimates for both types of bus, since it's hard to figure out even a ballpark of what it would cost

    Good call! We actually operate across North America, definitely something we'll make more clear. We're on the verge of rolling out automatic pricing for both types of buses right away. But will make sure to include it for both buses. Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

  I was in charge of running buses between our college and rival school for "the game" each year. We had a student run organization where we kept 60% of the profits. We shuttled 2,000 people on ~30 buses, all through one bus company. We literally had to do nothing except send emails... the bus company handled all the complicated logistics. It was a great gig. Very profitable. I can only imagine doing this at scale will bring some nice $$$.

    This is awesome! We started doing this with one festival where we did buses from our home city to the event. From there we scaled and started launching different routes. That's where it started getting more complex :)
