MotorCoaches, A Famous Movie Star and Priceline all in one article.
Yep, you read that correct, on Monday, January 23rd, The American Bus Association release a press release in regards to the upcoming “Priceline Negotiator” series commercial with actor William Shatner stating that the commercial showing a bus accident is in poor taste. They also want to offer Mr. Shatner a ride on a motorocach as well.
We at The BusBank hope that Mr. Shatner rides on a motorcoach and see how wonderful the motorcoach industry is. The press release notes ” that nearly 1/3 of theater tickets are purchased by group tour and motorcoach customers. This is of no shock to us as many of our customers head to both national theater centers via Motorcoaches in Chicago, and New York city but also seeing smaller local shows across the nation.
Currently, no response has been made by Mr. Shatner or Priceline in regards to this recent press release and commentary from the American Bus Association but we are interested to see if anything comes of it.
If you are interested in viewing the press release in its entirety, you can check it out here.
