ADDS TEN MOTORCOACHES
Brewster Transportation and Tours will increase its
luxury motorcoach fleet with five MCI J4500 and five Prevost H3-45
VIP scheduled to arrive in early May. At an investment of over $5.7
million, the fleet will consist of over 75 vehicles: 52, 56-seat
luxury coaches and 18, 47-passenger coaches. This asset purchase
reinforces the company's age-old commitment to be a progressive
leader in the Canadian
motorcoach travel industry.
"Our commitment to provide the best in transportation
began in 1917, when Bill and Jim Brewster constructed the first
'auto tally-ho' to keep up with the tourism demand in the Canadian
Rockies," indicates David Morrison, President and CEO, "Eighty-eight
years later, we are still responding to our industry needs."
During the early years, Brewster was known as the 'Barons of Transportation'
through the constant expansion and quality of its fleet.
Canadian companies will deliver the luxury coaches:
Motor Coach Industries, located in Winnipeg and Prevost Car, located
the Sainte-Claire, Quebec. Both companies, known to be leaders in
coach manufacturing, will offer the newest design in human ergonomic
seating and the 'highest point' of view. A one-piece front windshield
and frameless side windows provides passengers with the clearest
unobstructed panoramic viewing of the Canadian Rockies. Adjustable
foot rests and fine leather tapestry offer travellers the ultimate
comfort in motorcoach touring. Additional features include: kneeling
feature, spiral entrance stairway, DVD's and aircraft-type louvered
and swiveling ventilation outlets. And, these units are equipped
with all the latest in passenger security and safety features!
One of six operating divisions, Brewster Charter Service
is Western Canada's premier motorcoach charter provider. Offering
group charter rentals, FIT touring, sightseeing excursions and airporter
services, our motorcoaches are designed to handle the demands of
