As someone who has dedicated over 17 years to the transportation industry, I’ve seen firsthand how mobility impacts lives. From running a small limousine company in San Antonio to managing a nationwide fleet of motorcoaches through GOGO Charters, I’ve always believed in one thing: transportation connects people, fosters opportunities, and strengthens communities.

Today, I’m thrilled to share a milestone in my journey — GOGO Charters is launching its first intercity line run, connecting Dallas and San Antonio. 

Our goal? To provide Texans with a sophisticated, reliable, and comfortable alternative to air travel and long drives. With GOGO Charters, you’re not just getting from one city to another — you’re experiencing a new standard of travel.

A Premium Experience from an Established Leader

At GOGO Charters, we’ve built our reputation on delivering top-tier transportation solutions, from private charters to corporate travel. With this line run, we’re applying that same expertise to intercity travel.

Passengers on our Dallas-to-San Antonio route can expect:

  • Luxury Amenities: Modern motorcoaches equipped with plush reclining seats, Wi-Fi, and onboard restrooms ensure a comfortable journey.
  • Convenience and Connectivity: Our refreshed mobile app simplifies booking, offers real-time tracking, and provides e-tickets for a seamless experience.
  • Daily Departures: Frequent service lets you travel on your schedule, not ours.

Whether you’re a business professional, student, or family traveler, this new service is designed with you in mind.

Why Now?

Texas is booming. From its population growth to its reputation as an economic powerhouse, the Lone Star State attracts people from all walks of life. But with this growth comes challenges in mobility.

The corridor between Dallas and San Antonio — a piece of the Texas Triangle — is one of the busiest in the state, yet many travelers are left with few appealing options. Driving can be stressful and expensive, especially with rising gas prices. Flying might seem faster, but by the time you account for airport commutes and security lines, the time savings often disappear.

For those without a car, the options narrow even further. According to the Chaddick Institute at DePaul University, intercity bus services have regained 85-90% of their pre-pandemic ridership, showing a growing demand for long-distance travel. However, station closures and reduced services in some areas have left many underserved. The result? Fewer accessible, affordable travel choices for Texans.

At GOGO Charters, we’re stepping in to fill that gap.

The Bigger Impact

This isn’t just about luxury buses. It’s about what better mobility can do for communities and economies.

  • Economic Growth: Reliable transportation links cities, fostering regional collaboration and creating new opportunities for businesses and workers.
  • Social Connectivity: For car-free and car-lite households, this service provides a vital connection to jobs, education, and family.
  • Sustainability: By reducing the number of cars on the road, we’re cutting emissions and contributing to a cleaner future.

As a veteran of this industry, I know that transportation isn’t just about logistics — it’s about building bridges between people and places.

A Vision for the Future

The Dallas-to-San Antonio line run is just the beginning. Over the next two years, GOGO Charters plans to expand its intercity services across Texas and the nation. With each new route, we’ll bring the same commitment to quality, innovation, and passenger satisfaction.

As someone who started in this industry with one limousine and a lot of determination, I’m honored to lead this charge. Together, we’re not just moving people — we’re moving the needle on what group transportation can achieve.

So, to everyone in Texas: I can’t wait to welcome you aboard. Let’s redefine what travel looks like — one mile, one journey, one community at a time.
