The track on Long Distance Operations: The Future of Coach examined changes in coach tourism and intercity bus markets. Operators face restrictive access rules in cities and complex driving and rest time regulations, while demand for group coach travel grows. Long-distance and international services are expanding rapidly. The shift to carbon-neutral fuels and onroute charging or refueling will be key.
