Don’t guess, use a formula for selecting a vehicle based on what your group needs.
Logistics experts are crunching the numbers and leveraging their Sherlock Holmes-like knowledge of vehicles to match groups with vehicles like they would match potential spouses with each other based on multiple compatibility criteria, including; Space Optimization, Cost Efficiency, and Eliminating Awkward Moments Associated with Someone Sitting on the Floor.
Why Minibuses Work Best for Smaller Groups
For small groups of 8-16 passengers, UK Minibuses Minibuses are a great option for a number of transportation requirements: Corporate Meetings, Airport Transfers, Wedding Guest Shuttle Services – all of which allow passengers to enjoy a window seat (no need to yell “Can you hear me” at the back of the bus). And UK Minibuses Minibuses are perfect for navigating the streets of London, travelling through busy traffic as easily as black cabs do with the help of Google Maps.
Minibuses certainly provide a more intimate feel with their Bluetooth connectivity, efficient air conditioning, and ample room to stretch your legs without doing yoga beforehand. They also have a good turning radius, eliminating the need for a “three-pointer” on the backroads of England (i.e., tipping your hat to the pub) before finding your final parking space.
When a Coach Is the Smarter Choice
Once your headcount increases to about 20 or more, you’ll be looking for a coach. Members of a coach family typically carry anywhere from 33 – 57 passengers plus some luggage stored in a space larger than the average London flat. Long distance day trips, outdoor music festivals, and business conferences are all handled with the same gracefulness as the Glastonbury Festival.
Comfort, Capacity and Onboard Amenities
In addition to their seating and luggage capabilities, coach operators provide customers with an arsenal of amenities: Reclining seating, phone charging ports, actual restrooms (not just portable toilets), superior internet connection (unlike the average mobile phone service), and plenty of overhead storage space for the aforementioned luggage (think Mary Poppins).
When it comes to the cost per head, you can’t buy any better than on a coach. When splitting the total cost amongst 50 people, each passenger will pay less for his/her share than they would for a fancy coffee. However, if you only have a headcount of 12, it’s like trying to order one pizza for yourself; while technically possible, it’s not something that anyone would want to do.
Cost Efficiency and the Right Fit for Your Group
To be honest, if you have 20 or fewer people in your group you are best off using mini-buses; anything larger than 25 passengers must be done in a coach or large bus. In between that there is an awkward in-between zone of 20-24 passengers. UK Minibuses has found a way to handle all those scenarios with ease as they know how many people to expect before you have even counted up your numbers; they know what vehicle works best. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how to arrange group transportation; UK Minibuses just makes it seem easy as they will get you the right information prior to your need.
