BostonCoach Shuttles: Ultimate in BostonCoach Luxury for Group Travel.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 1999--

BostonCoach--lauded for its high quality, on-time, dependable ground transportation--and is widely known for its executive sedan fleet used for individual or small group transportation. Another important piece of the business, however, is the Group Transportation Services division that provides the ultimate in BostonCoach quality and luxury for group travel.

The Group Transportation Services division services three market segments. Shuttle Services sets up dedicated vehicles that travel on a fixed shuttle route for a corporation, a conference facility, an office park or a medical or educational facility. Using the technology developed for its executive sedans, the vehicles on the shuttle route can monitor up to date traffic and weather reports and the location of other shuttle vehicles on the route. "Many corporations need to get employees to remote locations that are not available via public transportation," stated Bill Gemmell, Senior Vice President, BostonCoach. "We work with the client to develop and implement an appropriate transportation solution."

Groups that need transportation to and from special events and conferences are supported by the Charter Service segment. Recently a modern, new MCI motorcoach was introduced in Boston specifically for this purpose. "BostonCoach has reputation for excellence in the ground transportation industry," said Elizabeth Cullinan, Account Director, BostonCoach. "Its critical that we offer this market segment the same commitment to quality. Our vehicles have been upgraded in order to improve the service we offer to our clients, and provide them with a pleasant transportation experience."

The third segment, Meeting Services, works with clients to handle transportation for any type of event. This can include coordinating pick-up and drop-offs from a number of different hotels, function locations and airports over an extended time period. "For clients planning large events we can coordinate a transportation plan regardless of the number of participants and locations," explained Anna Cataldo, General Manager Group Transportation, BostonCoach. "We have become experts in this field and can offer consulting services along with the actual transportation. For many clients, the logistics surrounding an event can be overwhelming. Our clients trust that BostonCoach will handle all the details."

As with the executive sedans, all drivers go through extensive training and are versed on all aspects of safety and defensive driving. Clients can expect the same professional, courteous service that they receive from individual sedan transportation.

"We offer clients total transportation packages with our ability to service groups, individuals, meeting or special events. The technology and quality practices that we put in place for our executive sedans extends to our Group Transportation Services," said Russ Cooke, President, BostonCoach.
