Efficient is safe
|
|
|
Did you know that Motorcoaches lead every other travel mode in terms of their fuel efficiency on a per-passenger basis, averaging more than 200 passenger miles per gallon.* Besides keeping passengers safe we think it's important to keep the environment safe as well.

Operator Experience
|
|
|
Cowtown Bus Charters' fleet is among the newest and safest on America's roads but that is only second in value to our Operators. We only hire professional Operators who have an average of 21 years experience behind the wheel. They must be over 35 years of age and can pass a background check. The important thing to remember is that our Operators always put your safety first.
|
Nitrogen Filled Tires
|
|
|
YES! All of Cowtown's bus tires are filled with nitrogen rather than regular compressed air. Nitrogen allows our tires to run cooler. This helps us maintain proper tire pressure which in turn allows tires to last longer and be more resistant to failure. Safer tires means safer passengers.
|
DriveCam
|
|
|
The DriveCam System is installed on all of Cowtown's coaches. It monitor's the Operator's performance when it comes to braking, turns and following too close.
|
Bluetooth Equipped
|
|
|
All of Cowtown Charters' coaches are equipped with on board cell phones with Bluetooth Headsets. You will never see any of our Operators driving with one hand on a phone and the other on the wheel.
|
Smarttire
|
|
|
Smarttire electronically monitors a bus' tire pressure and temperature. Should pressure drop or tires become too warm, an alarm warns the Operator so preventative action can be taken.
|
Synthetic Lubricants
|
|
|
Cowtown Bus Charters exclusively employs synthetic lubricants in its fleet. Synthetic oils provide better low and high temperature performance viscosity. Engines run better and there are fewer heat related failures as a result.
|
Pre-Trip Safety Message
|
|
|
Before each charter begins, our passengers hear a prerecorded message. This recording explains what will be expected of them should an emergency situation occur as well as how they can help make their excursion more pleasant and safe for themselves and their fellow passengers.
|
Emergency Exits
|
|
|
Each Coach has several Emergency exits including two hatches in the roof. Be sure to ask your Operator about these important features.
|
Ready View GPS
|
|
|
Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) systems are great tools for helping drivers stay on course. Cowtown Charters employs the Ready View System, which allows us to track each of our motorcoaches location from our offices.
|
Operator's Drive Time Limits
|
|
|
Because keeping our passengers safe is our most important job, we do not allow our Professional Operators to work longer than a ten hour day and we also require a minimum ten hours of rest between shifts behind the wheel.
|
Preventive Maintenance
|
|
|
Every bus in Cowtown's inventory is kept on a strict preventive maintenance schedule by our in-house technicians. We keep meticulous records and will never send a bus on the road that will not meet our high standards. Not all bus companies are equal. Cowtown Bus Charters, Inc. holds itself to above the rest.
