Why hire a ground transportation company vs. a bus company only

Ground Transportation Companies in Chicago will run a convention shuttle bus event for you and save a meeting planner a lot of headaches. For ex., a ground company will run a shuttle bus from two hotels, the Hilton Chicago Hotel and the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel, to/from the Lakeside Center of McCormick Place.

The Ground Transportation company will develop your routing, contract all of the various bus companies, draw up maps, hire and coordinate uniformed staff, coordinate staging of coaches, coordinate pick up and drop off points, provide communications for staff and all drivers, provide traffic patterns, and provide seamless execution of a private event shuttle, airport transfer, convention shuttle or dine around.

Sample of a convention shuttle:

The Blue Route from the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel will pick up passengers on Wacker Drive in front of the East Tower of the hotel.

The Red Route from the Hilton Chicago will stop at the 8th Street Door of the Hotel.

Buses are scheduled to run every 10 minutes.

Hours of operation:

Monday 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Tuesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Wednesday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday 8 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Why Hire a Ground Transportation Company?

If you are having a group coming into O’hare airport, know that what can go wrong, will go wrong. That is why hiring a ground transportation company is important to ensure a successful ground transportation event in Chicago. Ground transportation companies minimize the risk of something going wrong and increase your chance of a successful ground transportation event. They have experience with various modes of transportation including sedans, limo’s, busses, mini busses and various motor coach companies. Never assume that the bus is just going to show up or show up ontime. It just doesnt always happen that way due to external circumstances beyond control. Also, don’t assume someone will be there to greet your guests or load luggage. A ground transportation company will coordinate meet and greets, coaches, limos, sedans, flight manifests, arrivals and departures, cancellations, flight delays, and ensure that your guests get on the right bus!
