According to the American Bus Association, motorcoach transportation gets 184 passenger miles per gallon and is the most fuel-efficient way to travel. Motorcoaches also play a crucial role in reducing energy use and in helping America cut its dependence on foreign sources of fuel, without sacrificing amenities such as upholstered seats, personal climate controls, entertainment systems, and restrooms. SAVE THE EARTH—RIDE A BUS!
