NOTES: Passenger trips are estimated based on amount of service provided and load factor. The Intercity Bus Database excludes charter buses, casino buses, local transit, and airport shuttles. Discount city-to-city bus consists of express-oriented carriers operating from downtown districts, for example, Megabus and BoltBus. Chinatown operators typically operate from Chinatown districts in major cities. Latino-oriented operators typically serve Latino and Hispanic communities.
