​Our Commitment to Go Green

We are committed to sustainability through the following green initiatives:
Motor Coach Efficiency – We train our staff and drivers to minimize fuel consumption by reducing idling times, with a company policy limiting idling to no more than five minutes. We clean our buses using biodegradable detergents and leverage GPS mapping for efficient routing, reducing fuel usage.
Energy Conservation – We aim to reduce energy consumption across our entire operation, from offices to warehouses and our mechanic yard. We switch off electrical appliances when not in use, employ energy-efficient appliances and lighting, and train our staff on reducing energy usage and minimizing our carbon footprint.
Recycling Efforts – We actively reuse and recycle parts and supplies within our organization whenever it is safe and feasible.
Biofuel Program – As part of our Travel Green Bus Initiative, we have introduced a blended fuel solution of biodiesel and regular diesel for our motor coaches. Despite the higher cost, we are committed to becoming a leader in green motor coach travel.

Emissions Reduction – We are actively working on new measures to reduce emissions from our motor coach fleet. These efforts include investing in the latest engine technologies that lower harmful emissions, conducting regular maintenance checks to ensure peak performance, and exploring opportunities to integrate electric and hybrid vehicles into our fleet. Additionally, we aim to adopt advanced emission monitoring systems to track and manage our environmental impact effectively.

These initiatives are part of our long-term commitment to cleaner, more sustainable travel solutions.
