change the way people travel intercity with the
launch of OurBus Prime. The Prime services are
set to bring comfort and convenience to
travellers on North Americas busiest intercity
bus route - NYC - D.C, with a stop at the Broken
Land Park Ride in Columbia, MD. OurBus will be
starting its much-awaited Prime bus service from
Monday, April 10th.
OurBus Prime will be the first intercity bus
service to serve the Howard County area, offering
daily departures to and from New York City, with
no intermediate stops. Axel Hellman, OurBus'
transportation planner, states that OurBus Prime
is filling a void in the intercity travel
market, Over the past few years intercity bus
services near Washington, DC have exploded in
popularity. There are buses that pick up in
Bethesda, Arlington, Alexandria, and Silver
Spring, but virtually nothing is available
between the Beltway and Downtown Baltimore. Its
one of the largest areas in the
Baltimore-Washington metro area that lacks an
affordable intercity bus service - until now. A
transportation technology startup with just 9
months in business, OurBus has already earned a
reputation for its impeccable services.
Presently, over 3,000 commuters have registered
to ride the commuter bus service from their
areas. The buses have been plying on commuter
routes from Central New Jersey to New York City,

tickets Hellman says that "OurBus is making
transportation more efficient than ever by
connecting intercity and commuter routes
together. This makes it possible for us to offer
luxury buses to daily commuters and
long-distance travelers at affordable prices." He
further added "In cities across the country,
local buses take commuters from the suburbs into
the city, then return empty. Meanwhile, empty
intercity buses drive into the central city each
morning to pick up long distance travelers. These
inefficiencies create traffic and add to the
cost of bus travel. By linking commuter and
intercity services, OurBus is making travel
cheaper for riders, and creating more
opportunities for our partners in the luxury
coach industry." The state-of-art OurBus coaches
are equipped with amenities like reclining seats
and on- board restrooms to provide utmost
comfort for long distance travel. For those who
like to stay connected with the world, the buses
offer complimentary high-speed Wi- Fi and
individual charging ports for the travellers
devices. OurBus founder Narinder Singh believes

enables them to track their ride. The travellers
can share their real-time ETA with their friends
and family. Singh also added that OurBus is
committed to the safety and security of its
passengers, thus, user details and tracking
information are encrypted. Despite the
exceptional comfort that OurBus Prime offers, the
tickets are at a competitive price. While one
can catch an Amtrak Northeast Regional or Acela
train to New York, fares can be expensive. A
train ticket can cost anywhere from 80 to 200.
OurBus Prime tickets start at 19, enabling
students, tourists, and business travellers to

years are kept in service. OurBus is increasingly
gaining popularity among intercity travellers as
a smarter way to travel. OurBus Prime offers the
ideal fusion of modern technology and luxury at a
