Abstract:"Motorcoach Census 2005 is the second study commissioned by the American Bus Association (ABA) to benchmark the size and activity of the motorcoach transportation service industry in the United States and Canada. Examining the year 2004, it provides industry information that cannot be found elsewhere and updates 1999 industry statistics developed in Motorcoach Census 2000. A motorcoach or over-the-road bus (OTRB), as defined for this study, is a bus that is designed for the long-distance transportation of passengers, that has integral construction with an elevated passenger deck located over a baggage compartment, and that is at least 35 feet in length with a capacity of more than 30 passengers. The results of Motorcoach Census 2005 reveal an industry in 2004 with over 3,500 companies that operated nearly 40,000 motorcoaches and employed 163,000 people, over half of them full-time. The industry had companies of every size. Only one in 100 companies were large, operating 100 or more motorcoaches, but they had one-quarter of the industry’s motorcoaches and employees. Mid-sized companies, with fleet sizes of 25 to 99 motorcoaches, accounted for 7% of the carriers, 27% of the motorcoaches, and 18% of the employees. Nine in 10 of the companies were small, operating fewer than 25 motorcoaches. They ran nearly half of the industry’s motorcoaches and had nearly three in five of its employees." / Executive Summary, p. 5.
