29 Mar Find Out For Yourself
In You’ve Got Mail, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan come together in a funny romantic comedy where they’ve spent months corresponding by email. They are best friends over the Internet, and both of them look forward to every letter. But. They don’t know that the person they adore in the virtual world is actually their enemy in the real one. Eventually, however, just as in Sleepless in Seattle, they end up getting together and things work out.
In one of their lighter exchanges, Joe Fox (Hanks’ character) says this: “The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people who have no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions, just to buy one cup of coffee. People who don’t know what … they’re doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee, but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall!
While this is sort of an absent-minded, charming comment, it actually illustrates something that’s pretty basic: as human beings, we appreciate choices, and we definitely have preferences. Do you like your coffee bare bones? Do you prefer some sweetener? Cream? With vanilla? Caramel? Cold? Hot? Even down to small, seemingly insignificant decisions each day, we are certain about what we like and we choose accordingly.
We may buy a certain brand of car seat because consumer reports and product testing indicate that one is safer than others that are on the market. And we take these kinds of factors into consideration all the time, prioritizing our safety and preferences based on what we know (or don’t know, for that matter).
Thus… when it comes to transportation choices, why wouldn’t you do the same? You turn the vehicle operation over to someone else when you choose motorcoach travel. You aren’t the one behind the wheel. And while motorcoach safety is undoubtedly one of the safest forms of transportation available, you don’t have to just trust what we say.
Did you know that you can check the safety rating of motorcoach companies?By visiting http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx, you can get information that will help you choose your safest bet. With their name, USDOT number, or MC/MX number, you can access a company’s inspection and crash records, and see their overall safety rating as well. This additional link will help you find that information, if you’re not sure where to get a company’s DOT number or MC/MX number: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety/look-you-book/research-bus-safety.
We pride ourselves on prioritizing the safety of our passengers, and this appears by the emphasis we place on vehicle maintenance, regular inspections, driver requirements, and our compliance with safety standards. Hey … like we said, you don’t have to go off of what we say. You can know on your own, enabling you to get a transportation choice you can feel good about!
