Most passenger busses are 60 to 70 seats.

If you go look at their website, they mention it’s a 35 seat configuration. Probably 2+1 in a seat bigger than the usual bus seat.

Soo what you’re saying is the bus in Phl is going to go pretty junior in the next couple of new hire class drops.

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to hold a line and when I would be able to get Wilmington as a base on the bus?

United has been doing this for a while to ski destinations in the Rockies.

This is what the future of EAS should be. It’s a huge waste of money to fly practically empty jets to small towns without the economy to support them. Rather than the government subsidizing these small towns with jets, we should service them with busses.

This….there was more than 1 time where I flew two people out one person back. A complete waste of time/money.
