Picknelly, chairman and CEO of Peter Pan Bus Lines, noted, \u201cWe&#8217;re modernizing our fleet, which is what our consumers want; they want a nice, clean, modern bus. We listen to our customers\u2014where they want to go\u2014and expand where it makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In preparation, Peter Pan has reduced fares by close to 40%, hired 75 new drivers, and purchased 45 new buses. The entire fleet of Peter Pan modern buses includes better-designed seats, video, and Wi-Fi. The company has also relaunched its app, enabling passengers to easily book their trips in advance and feature its PERKs program, where users can earn free travel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pGSPRrXKozY&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12387 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/peterpanbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image1-670.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peterpanbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image1-670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/peterpanbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image1-670-600x204.jpg 600w, https:\/\/peterpanbus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image1-670-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Peter Pan is making travel more convenient, especially for Gen-X and Gen-Z riders. &#8220;What people want in a bus company is really very simple,&#8221; suggests Picknelly, the third- generation leader of the company. &#8220;They want a clean bus, a professional driver, and on-time friendly service. It seems easy, but it&#8217;s really difficult to execute all the time. I happen to think that Peter Pan executes it better than most.&#8221; The company recently announced a partnership with Trailways and a strategic alliance with Amtrak. It actively forms relationships with ride services like Uber and Lyft to make all aspects of travel they control or can influence more reliable and affordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Buses Purchased, New Drivers Hired, Lower Fares as a Result.
