Leading Charter Bus Booking Site SHOFUR.COM Finds Success in Bus Marketplace

PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The first semi-final College Football Playoff began in Pasadena at the historic Rose Bowl last week. Shofur buses were there as more than 91,000 fans packed into the AT&T Stadium to support #2 Oregon and #3 FSU. California charter buses and party buses were central to the transportation flow reducing the number of cars on the roads and minimizing parking overflow.

Shofur, one of the most visited websites for bus reservations, has been busy. Across the U.S. charter buses and tour buses were lining up during one of the industry's busiest time. Alabama charter buses from Tuscaloosa loaded up for the trek to the big game in New Orleans against Ohio State.

"Shofur.com enables consumers to coordinate their charter bus transportation needs 24 hours a day and directly from their computer, tablet or smart phone," says Tony Harris, President of Shofur. "Charter buses remain an important mode of transportation that is rarely discussed, keeping pollution down and reducing wear and tear on automobiles. The American Bus Association's Motorcoach Survey gives an average of over 161,000 passenger trips for each carrier in 2012 against an industry number of over 637 million."

In November, Harris and his team launched Shofur Market (shofur.com/market) as a digital resource for buying and selling buses. In less than one month, the site had over 3,000 buses for sale and mini buses for sale using a disruptive technology that connects buyers and sellers, not brokers and buyers, which typically has been the case.

"We have had an overwhelmingly positive response to Shofur Market," adds Harris. "The ability to access the marketplace via any mobile technology has been key to bringing in listings."

Shofur Market offers a low flat fee to post a bus for sale. The fee is currently waived until March 31, 2015. Additional paid enhanced marketing opportunities are available for a premium.  Shofur Market attracts, engages and converts active buyers at the start of their research.

Shofur Market is a division of Shofur, the premiere website for booking charter buses for tours, conferences, special events and more.   To learn more, visit Shofur.com/market or Shofur.com.
