When we announced our luxury intercity line runs across Texas, I knew it was something special. But the excitement that’s poured in from across the state? It has exceeded all expectations.

From media outlets covering the big news to thousands of you signing up for alerts about launch dates, it’s clear that we’re on to something that’s striking a chord. Let me walk you through what’s been happening since our announcement and why I think these routes are resonating with so many of you.

Texas Is Talking About GOGO

The media response has been incredible, with some of the state’s top outlets covering our launch.

  • The Dallas Morning News spotlighted our Dallas-to-San Antonio route, calling it a “game-changer for Texas travel.”
  • WFAA in Dallas focused on how we’re making group travel more accessible, especially for those looking for a comfortable, reliable alternative to flying or driving long distances.

  • The Houston Chronicle celebrated our expansion into Houston, highlighting the two new routes that connect the city to Dallas, San Antonio, and beyond.

Hearing how much attention our launch is getting from news outlets is humbling, but what really stands out to me is the buzz from everyday Texans.

Why Texans Are Ready To Ride

Since our announcement, thousands of you have signed up for alerts about launch dates. The excitement is palpable. From families eager to plan their next weekend getaway to business travelers looking for stress-free commutes, it’s clear these routes are solving a real need.

When I think about why these routes are resonating, a few things stand out based on my years in this industry.

1. Comfort Meets Convenience

Today’s travelers want more than just getting from Point A to Point B. They want to enjoy the journey. Our motorcoaches—with plush reclining seats, onboard Wi-Fi, and restrooms—deliver a level of comfort you simply won’t find on the road or in the air.

2. Supporting the Texas Economy

These routes connect the state’s biggest hubs—Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and more—making it easier for businesses to collaborate and for tourists to explore everything Texas has to offer. Whether it’s a corporate meeting in Dallas or a family adventure in San Antonio, we’re helping Texans make the most of their state.

3. A Sustainable Solution

Let’s talk about the bigger picture. Group transportation reduces the number of cars on the road, which means fewer emissions and less congestion. As Texans, we take pride in our wide-open spaces — our routes help preserve them for future generations.

4. Access for All

Not everyone has the option — or the desire — to drive long distances. Our routes provide reliable, affordable travel for car-free and car-lite households, students, and anyone who values the simplicity of leaving the driving to someone else.

What’s Next

The response to these line runs has been nothing short of inspiring, and this is just the beginning. We’re already working on refining every part of the experience, from booking to boarding, to make sure GOGO Charters delivers the absolute best in intercity travel – within Texas and beyond.

For those of you who’ve signed up for updates: thank you. Your enthusiasm fuels us, and we can’t wait to welcome you onboard. To everyone else, there’s still time to get in on the action. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a daily commute, we’ve got a seat waiting for you.
