The Events
Canadian U18 and University Sevens Rugby Championships
Early March 2016 marked a special occasion for Rugby Canada. The organization had to find a way to bring top provincial rugby teams from all over the country to Burnaby, BC for the first ever National U18 Rugby Sevens Tournament and National University Sevens Tournament.
With 20,000 incoming rugby supporters, the Canadian Rugby 7s hosted teams from every province as they faced off in an attempt to secure the championship title at the end of the tournaments.
The Challenge
Moving Players to the Field
For Rugby Canada, this meant figuring out how to get their players to the field and in front of all these fans. In the past, coordinating transportation was an arduous task. They’ve had to call different bus companies, bounce around quotes, and sort through all this information by themselves.
Rugby Canada saw this as a new opportunity and added Bus.com to their team roster.
The Solution
Hassle-Free Bus Rental with Bus.com
Once all their logistical information, such as schedule details and pick-up locations, was sent our way, the rest was up to us. We reached out to our large network of bus suppliers and found one that’s best suited for Rugby Canada based on their budget and trip needs.
By working in tandem, we drafted a tailored travel plan that was flexible enough to accommodate players’ schedules. That included organizing a shuttle system to take players from airports to hotels and from hotels to the stadium.
