Montreal is Canada’s festival capital. The city is known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and an eclectic mix of French and English heritage and language. A variety of world cultures feel like home in Montreal, creating a blend of cuisines, music, arts, and entertainment to make the city an enticing locale for event planning.
To event managers and planners, Montreal offers a great selection of picturesque locations, bohemian venues, skilled performers, and competitive catering to fit even the most original concept. In Montreal, even a US dollar goes further: professional event planners can choose whether to save the budget or offer their guests more luxury.
Event managers know that “guests do not like to walk.” Even among those who bought tickets, almost half would not hesitate never to show up if there is no convenient transport to the venue. A free and convenient bus shuttle to the event location correlates with higher attendance.
Bus.com’s user-friendly, single-dashboard booking tool makes the planning of the event transportation easy.
Bus.com’s expert team of booking specialists supports every event manager, 24/7.
Large-scale events can be costly, even in Montreal. Bus.com’s innovative algorithm monitors values across the vast network of Bus Partners to help fit the event transportation budget.
A school bus is a lean, economical, functional vehicle built to get the event’s guests there. This classic bus has all essentials and comfort features needed for a short trip as the event shuttle. School buses are incredibly safe and highly visible.
A coach bus is the comfort flagman of every charter bus fleet. A coach bus is an excellent option for every trip over 2.5 hours, with multiple stops, or in particularly hot or cold weather. VIP guests will appreciate that coach buses can come equipped with features like WiFi, power outlets, screens, and air conditioning.
Sustainable, or “green” event management aims to achieve the event goals strictly through environmental and socially sustainable practices. They choose renewable energy, socially responsible suppliers, and local produce whenever possible. Stakeholders and vendors are required to adhere to sustainability principles.
An event is not possible without its guests, so transporting them to the event venue is still essential. The main focus of sustainable event transportation is to accomplish this task while minimizing its carbon footprint.
Thanks in part to evolving technology, transporting event attendees by bus is the third most sustainable choice after asking the guests to walk or cycle. Using Bus.com bus charters allows event managers to transport up to 55 guests at once, replacing 20 to 25 private cars.
