All bus companies in Omio

Traveling between cities in the United States by bus typically means riding on Greyhound. Greyhound Lines, based in Dallas, began more than 100 years ago in Minnesota, although it’s now a subsidiary of Germany’s Flixmobility. Greyhound buses serve more than 3,800 destinations across North America, making it the largest motorcoach company in the country.

Fostering more sustainable modes of transportation

Increasing numbers of travelers are seeking more sustainable means of transportation. Thankfully, it’s easy to find sustainable options that are just right for your needs when you book your bus, train, or airline tickets through Omio. For example, train rides have always been a sustainable means of transportation as taking the train reduces congestion on the highways and also reduces the amount of fossil fuels being used (which lessens greenhouse emissions). Amtrak has taken things even further, by purchasing more fuel_efficient locomotives for its fleet and also instituting expanded recycling programs for retired trains. This means less old carpet and seat covers making their way into landfills (not to mention old lightbulbs and foam cushions).

Traveling by bus is another smart move towards sustainability, as taking a bus can reduce your overall greenhouse emissions by up to 85% on your journey. Greyhound has committed to using newer, more fuel_efficient motorcoaches as well as reducing idling times to decrease fuel usage. Lastly, sustainable flights have become increasingly popular, with carriers like United and American updating their fleets to more efficient aircraft while also introducing major recycling programs to decrease waste. Additionally, Frontier Airlines has declared a goal of becoming “America’s Greenest Airline”, increasing fuel_efficiency by 43%, and launching a “green class” upgrade available to passengers which features more sustainable seating and dining options.

Save time traveling with night routes

The old saying “time is money” is as true now as ever, and when you choose to travel overnight by bus, train, or even on night flights, you can often save quite a bit of both. Amtrak trains will often travel overnight between distant destinations. In these cases, passengers can save travel time by having fewer connections or stops along the way.

Greyhound also offers overnight bus routes which include fewer stops, once again saving time. In both cases, savvy travelers will also notice that such overnight routes tend to be less expensive. Finally, airlines travel at all times of the day and night, depending on the popularity of the route. As with train and bus routes, flying overnight often means quicker travel with fewer connections.
