Group Transportation | Call 516-333-7483 | Why every group need dedicated transportation?

 

It depends on how dynamic the group is? What was the purpose for people to come together and form this organization? How far do they have to travel to fulfill their purpose? This distance, decides if they need a dedicated means of transportation or if they could rely on public transit. In human societies people come together for various reasons thus forming a team. To keep the enthusiasm and morale high, the organizers have to find a dedicated means of traveling depending on how often they meet. For example, Christians from different walks of life come together and gather inside a Church every Sunday thus making a religious organization. Every church wants its members to be punctual and present for the prayers and other religious services. As a result the church leadership offers a bus pickup and drop to its congregation members. This bus operates once a week with the sole purpose of picking up and dropping off devotees to and from the church throughout the day on weekends. Other groups have similar purpose and requirements. For example a construction company may have to frequently transport its employees from its head quarters to the construction site. If they let employees travel by themselves, then punctuality will be a big concern, some might get caught up in traffic, few others may encounter some minor or major accidents and a list of other reasons. To ensure discipline, the church as well as the construction company purchase a minibus for sale to transport their members and employees.

Similarly, tourists from all over the world travel to a particular country to explore its culture and traditions. They go sight seeing and visit places of attractions. Doing so they automatically form a group of foreigners ready to travel together across the host country's popular cities. In order to make the journey easy and affordable the government of the host country organizes several modes of transportation in the form of taxi services, tour bus services, railways etc. But traveling by bus is one of the favorite options of all tourists especially those from western countries. They feel cozy and comfortable in their air conditioned tour buses and even enjoy the companionship of fellow tourists from other countries. Because they all have the same purpose, that is to go sight seeing and explore their host country at an affordable price.

Transport is not needed if activities are limited to a particular neighborhood. But when its activities span across several blocks to neighboring areas, then a dedicated vehicle is needed to reduce the walking time of members, to ensure their attendance and punctuality, to keep members interested in activities, to prevent them from losing interest. Everybody like the idea of traveling together with fellow members as it increases their rate of engagement, bond and cohesion with fellow members. Many Americans love the idea to visit a Casino during their weekends, instead of traveling individually, they expect their Casino to offer a bus that will pickup other members too, thus enjoying the entire trip from their homes to the Casino and back. 

Every organization of people needs a dedicated vehicle if it has members who are seniors and disabled. Seniors have problems with mobility, they fear driving in the dark and overcrowded public transit system, many suffer from cataracts and cant see clearly, as a result they prefer staying at home rather than traveling. To ensure their attendance, they have to be offered a dedicated bus service. A church is the perfect example. It has senior members and the church bus does a great job in helping them visit the church to participate in prayers and other religious activities. Same goes with disabled people. Their mobility is limited due to a birth defect, injury or accident. Even they prefer staying at home rather than ride a private vehicle or take the crowded public transport. To ensure their attendance, they too need a dedicated bus service otherwise they will neither participate nor contribute to the objectives of the organization.

Its difficult to imagine an organization which does not has a dedicated transportation, especially if they have to meet frequently or travel long distances. Startup organizations may not have a dedicated vehicle but they should look forward to buy one as soon as possible because they could start losing members in the long run. Transportation is in fact one of the biggest hurdles to the growth of a team of people. With the passage of time members will start losing interest. Moreover, people have families and full time jobs to look after. They can merely spend 1, 2 or 3 hours a week for their groups. The organizers should make sure this limited time is directly or indirectly utilized to its maximum potential. For example, if a member spends 30 minutes traveling in one direction to attend a function, then he or she wastes one hour of their limited time in traveling. If the team has 100 members each spending up to an hour in traveling, then collectively they have lost 100 hours that could otherwise be utilized in the groups service. Organizers should think of ways to optimize this wasted time for their benefit either directly or indirectly. For example, the idea of making members travel together with other members in a bus may not seem beneficial, however it does benefit in the long term as it increases members bonding and cohesion with fellow members. Instead of listening to popular music and watching television during transit, they can be encouraged to sing songs dedicated to the tasks and objectives they have undertaken. The simple act of singing songs will indoctrinate members and force them to think about the groups objectives in their free time and come up with innovative ways to help it achieve its goals. The increased participation and brotherhood between members will prevent attrition, they will stick longer for years becoming eligible to lead new members, thus increasing the overall size and effectiveness of the organization. The increased size will bring in more members, donations, eliminate hurdles and ease the path to achieving goals. Thus becoming a successful group rather than being dormant.

Every group needs a vehicle that is designed for ferrying several people together. A car is limited to 4 passengers. If there are more than 4 members then organizers will have to roll in more cars which is neither efficient nor economical. This is when buses come into the picture. There is a general perception that buses are huge and cumbersome, difficult to buy, park, ride, maintain and manage. However, this is far from the truth. The problem is that one thinks of full sized coach buses when thinking about a bus. There are smaller version of buses too, which are often called as shuttle bus, small bus, minibus, short bus etc. These vehicles can seat up to 15 passengers in a single trip and dont need a commercial license because of their small size. Thus they are extremely popular for small group transportation. They are affordable to buy, easy to park and can be driven with a regular license. The small size makes regular maintenance and management a breeze.

One should remember that a short bus for sale, though being smaller in size and affordable in price is still bigger than a car and cost more to purchase. Used buses for sale are far more cheaper than their new counterparts. As a result more and more organizations and groups of people are opting to buy used buses. These vehicles have defects just like any other preowned vehicle but after reconditioning they become fully functional with reduced wear and tear. These reconditioned second hand buses can be purchased from $10,000 to $45,000 depending on their features and functionalities. Startup groups with limited budgets may find this price bracket expensive, hence there are several financial institutions that are ready to help buy a used bus at low and attractive interest rates. The approval rate is high even if buyers have low or average credit ratings. Due to these facilities, the sale of used buses has sky rocketed in recent years. There is a tonne of money to be made in the transportation industry with used buses. Startup entrepreneurs search for opportunities in areas that lack public transportation and deploy their used buses to move people around over small distance and make money almost instantly in no time.
