Scheduled Bus Services in the US

Oil Prices Are Just the Ticket

This industry is in decline. Any growth in revenue will be marginal. Factors that have recently pushed growth rates into the positive include the aging population, with the elderly more likely to choose bus transportation, and the increasing price of oil. Generally speaking, bus transportation is extremely fuel efficient and fuel price increases will make personal vehicle use, and not bus travel, more expensive.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing bus passenger transportation over regular routes and on regular schedules, principally outside a single metropolitan area and its adjacent nonurban areas. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
