El Camino Trailways Ranked One of the "Top 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies" in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Business Times
San Francisco, CA, October 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- El Camino Trailways, San Francisco based motorcoach service provider with operations in California and Nevada, announced today it has, for the second year in a row, been named one of the Top 100 Fastest Growing Private Companies by San Francisco Business Times in their annual survey of privately held companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company received the award at a ceremony held on October 20, 2010 in San Francisco.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of October 18, 2010 announcement that the company’s growth has also achieved it prominent position on Inc. Magazine’s Top-5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies and Top-100 Fastest Growing Transportation Services Companies in the United States for Four Consecutive Years – 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Founded in 1962, El Camino Trailways is one of the most well-known and established motorcoach operators in the San Francisco Bay Area. The company was acquired by a Silicon Valley based Investor Group in 2005 and since then has experienced extraordinary growth. In 2008, El Camino acquired a Nevada-based motorcoach operator to help extend its reach into the Reno-Tahoe market and cover a broad foot-print from San Francisco Bay Area to Reno-Tahoe and the San Francisco – Sacramento – Reno-Tahoe corridor. This acquisition also enabled the company to add winter skiing / snowboarding charter services business to its broad array of Charter and Contract services it provides to Schools, Universities, Government Agencies, Corporations, Receptive Tour Operators and Student and Youth Travel Association (SYTA) operators.
“We are especially proud of achieving this distinction in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is home to some of the fastest growing technology companies,” said Kumar Shah, President & CEO of El Camino Trailways. “It is befitting for us to have achieved this distinction in the Bay Area since our hyper-growth has been turbo-charged by the power of the Internet and through our ‘Click-and-mortar’ business model, which leverages the Internet ‘clicks’ for our ‘brick-and-mortar’ charter services operation.”
