Why are shuttle buses so DARN expensive?!?! UPDATE!!!

Don't these places know they would get MORE business from us if they lowered their prices on these a bit?!?! I don't get the logic!

How can I get a quote on a huge 55passenger bus of $700...

then call on a 33passenger shuttle bus and get a quote of $1000!?!?!?

Sick, sick, sick!

I REALLY want to have a nice, white shuttle bus that can accomodate about 30 guests... and I would have thought that $500-$600 would have made sense to pay. The prices I'm hearing are total rip offs!!!

UPDATE:

Actually, to answer my own post... lol

I later posted that I found Syosset Limousines... BEST prices!

I'm paying $650, including gratuity, for a 29 passenger bus for drop off, pick up between Plainview and Bayville!

AND they're SOOOOO nice!!!

I got a decent price on VANS... I just don't like the idea of everyone squishing into a van with their dresses and suits, ya know?

We had booked a limo bus for 1100 for 3 hours for 950 we were able to get a 55 passanger bus for 11 hours which will include shuttling our guests back and forth, much better deal. Who needs a flat screen tv anyway.
