Locals and tourists alike know the New York City public transportation system is one of the most intricate and busiest in the country. The system services over 5 million passengers a day and nearly 2 billion people annually. From troves of international tourists to locals commuting daily for work, public transport is the most popular means of getting around NYC for individuals and small groups.

What if you’re traveling around the city with a large group?

Well, public transportation around the city might become more complicated when you throw a dozen or more people in the mix.

If corralling a large group onto public transportation isn’t quite your speed, what other options are there? Hailing multiple taxis is another feat within itself and rideshare services may be just as difficult to come by in Midtown Manhattan.

As valuable as public transportation can be, it isn’t the answer to every travel problem in New York City. Reserving a private Manhattan charter bus from New York Charter Bus Company will keep the travel stress at bay while hitting the city with a large group.

Business groups traveling in the city for conferences or meetings need reliability. School groups hitting museum or college campuses need efficiency. Groups of leisure visitors exploring NYC need travel freedom and comfort. Renting a minibus in NYC may seem like a strange option, but it offers a solution to many group travel problems.

Here are just a few ways a bus rental can make your group travel experience even better:


The Multi-Destination Wedding

New York City has an endless number of beautiful and unique wedding venues. Even if most guests are local, having them take on traveling between separate ceremony and reception venues can become risky, especially if your service is on a strict schedule.

Are you looking to plan a lovely ceremony at historic Grace Church in Lower Manhattan, then take a more modern twist with a reception at Gallow Green in Midtown Manhattan’s McKittrick Hotel? These venues may only be 2 miles apart, but if you’re hosting a scorching summer wedding, that can easily turn into an eternity.

Unless every guest drives, which is quite unlikely in The Big Apple, they’ll be faced with a slew of walking and train transfers in their Sunday best. Reserve a fleet of wedding minibuses in NYC to shuttle your guests across Manhattan or even venues in other boroughs.


The Academic Tourist Trip

Whether you’re locals or out-of-towners, the landscape of New York City is always changing, offering plenty continual learning opportunities. Educators or community groups organizing an academic trip have plenty to choose from in Manhattan for students of all ages.

Keeping track of students on public transport can easily turn into a nightmare, while securing a school bus isn’t always feasible for groups traveling from outside of Manhattan.

Chartering a minibus or fleet of minibuses for a school trip to The NYPL or Rubin Museum of Art will help avoid the hassle of herding students onto a train or being stuck in an oversized vehicle on tight Manhattan roads.


The Big Family Holiday

Many visitors have compared New York City to a wonderland in winter, although some locals may disagree. Traveling to New York around popular holidays like Christmas and New Years is probably a bucket list item for countless travelers.

Traveling with family and friends for special holiday trips can be an endless amount of fun. Figuring out how you’ll get from The Shops at Columbus Circle to your Chelsea hotel and every in between with shopping bags, luggage, and your entire extended family in tow? Not as much fun.

One of the most important parts of a family holiday trip is to relax and enjoy each other's company against the backdrop of the Big Apple. Reserving a minibus with a professional driver is one of the easiest ways of keeping your large family trip as simple as possible.


Planning Another Type of NYC Group Trip?

Even if your next group event around the city isn’t with family, business colleagues, students or for a wedding, New York Charter Bus Company still has you covered. If you're in town for a multi-day vacation or you’re a Manhattanite through and through looking for a simple group transportation solution, look no further.
