Transportation Partnership Brings RYDE Shuttle Service to the 69th Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial
Motorcoaches Provide Convenient, Affordable Access to PGA Tour Golf Tournament
Ft. Worth, TX, April 02, 2015 --(PR.com)-- RYDE, an innovative crowdsourcing transportation service, has partnered with the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial to bring the ridesharing economy to Ft. Worth. RYDE’s motorcoaches will shuttle individuals and groups from outlying cities to the PGA Tour event, focusing RYDEs on the weekend competition rounds May 22-24. Fans will be able to reserve seats via RYDE’s website for a roundtrip shuttle that picks them up from numerous cities outside of an approximate 45-mile radius and brings them straight to the golf tournament. With large crowds expected for the tournament, RYDE helps to minimize the congestion and environmental impact associated with large-scale events such as these.
“RYDE has a lot of experience planning transportation shuttles around golf events, and the large crowds and limited access to golf courses is a hurdle we like to help with,” said Brian Allman, CEO of RYDE. “The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial is a beautiful setting and a popular event for golf fans throughout Texas. The idea of ridesharing in a motorcoach creates a rolling social environment, and there is the important undercurrent of getting fans safely and economically to this festive event.”
“Our tournament has a long tradition here at Colonial, and some of our loyal fan base travel great distances,” stated Dennis Roberson, Tournament Manager. “Our growth and success each year comes from ensuring a great field, and making the tournament fun and engaging for our fans. Partnering with RYDE helps us extend our reach to our long-distance fans with a convenient and safe ridesharing opportunity.”
In this partnership, RYDE will shuttle fans from cities outside the Ft. Worth area. RYDEs are roundtrip, and will return fans to their embarking location following play each day. The motorcoach rides may include two stops on the same route to ensure a full RYDE and maximize the environmental benefits.
