The Chaddick Institute’s research on intercity bus service consists primarily of three major publications for which links are provided below. Most of our research on the resurgence of intercity motor coach travel can be found in The Return of the Intercity Bus, completed in January 2008. Our 2008 Update is a supplement that outlines the sector’s growth during the remainder of that calendar year.
The Chaddick staff is available for informational requests and interviews about our research. Please contact us at chaddick@depaul.edu or 312.362.5731.
