Why Rent a Charter Bus in Cleveland?
Did you know that drivers in Cleveland spend more than 45 hours a year stuck in traffic? Although this pales in comparison to traffic in bigger cities like Chicago and Boston, having a transportation gameplan is still important for Cleveland group trips. Before settling on a multicar caravan for your outing, consider these other options to travel around The Forest City:
● Cleveland's Regional Transit Authority (RTA): The RTA includes a bus, rail, and trolley that services the metro area. If you’re traveling in downtown Cleveland, hopping on the bus or train can be an affordable way to travel at $2.50 a ride. Groups traveling to or from the suburbs will have a harder time accessing public transportation. It’s also important to note that not every rapid transit station is ADA-accessible. Every major station is ADA compliant, but smaller, less-traveled stations may not be.
● Rideshares and taxis: Cleveland has local taxi services like Americab and Ace Taxi, as well as national rideshare services like Lyft and Uber. These services can be convenient but they’re not always cost-effective for large groups. You’ll likely need to request more than one vehicle, which can turn out to be a logistical nightmare. All of your vehicles may arrive at different times, causing your schedule to be thrown off.
● Private charter bus rentals: A private bus rental can offer comfort and convenience for Cleveland travel groups. You can rent a bus that’s outfitted for your group’s size and unique travel needs. Best of all: you’ll have a professional driver handling the driving every step of your journey! Request a minibus for small events like bachelorette parties or a full-sized bus for big business conference transportation. ADA-accessible bus rentals along with amenities like WiFi can also be requested to ensure all passengers have a great travel experience. Depending on the time of year you’re traveling, renting a bus can be a large upfront cost. Once price is divided up by passenger count, a Cleveland bus rental can be an affordable way to travel.

Comfortable Transportation for Cleveland Sporting Events

Even if you’re headed out of town for a long-distance away game, you’ll have a comfortable ride. Everyone can stretch out in reclining seats and rest before the big game!

Business Shuttles Around Cleveland and the Midwest
Battling Cleveland morning traffic isn’t the best way to kick off a productive workday. Shofur can help alleviate commuting stress for your employees with a personalized shuttle service. Rather than braving traffic in their personal vehicles or rushing to catch the RTA bus, employees can relax on a shuttle bus that’ll drop them off right in front of your Cleveland office. A Shofur rental expert will help you build a fleet of bus rentals and routes to best serve your colleagues. We can also organize group transportation services for businesses that are traveling out of Cleveland for big events, instead of you organizing airfare and rental cars for your team to fly to Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, or any other city for conventions and conferences. Request amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and TVs with DVD players for passengers to work on projects or relax with their favorite music.
Event planners organizing a seminar or trade show at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland may want to consider a shuttle service for attendees. Shofur works with a wide network of bus rental providers in the region to give you access to as many minibuses or charter buses as you’ll need for your business event.
