We see a lot of nearly empty motor coaches operating at different times?
As a rule shore excursion operators ensure that their passenger loads are optimized with as many passengers as possible. These tours leave the terminal in loads of 70% or more on average. The tours may return with slightly fewer passengers at the end of the night when some passengers may be dropped off downtown for shopping or additional sightseeing. The shuttle service operating to downtown is a managed service ensuring the correct number of motor coaches in service at any given time. Early in the ship arrival most coaches are full leaving the dock but return with lower passenger counts they are required to return as more passengers are requiring transportation into town. Later in the evening coaches depart the ships with fewer passengers however return nearly full to the ship from downtown. The average occupancy per trip on the shuttle service is 92%. Should at any time passenger loads decline in both directions, the coaches are parked and taken out of service. Shuttle buses operatin
