Since 2009, Santa Barbara Air Bus has been a Certified Green Business. Their management was an early adopter, among the first fleets to install AeroHance Pods and participate in validating fuel savings on a few of its buses.
The Santa Barbara Airbus fleet are the premiere charter services for Central Coast of California. They are most noted as the conduit between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Airport (LAX), making 16 trips back and forth every day. This consistency in driving route adds to reliability of comparative mileage data collected.
AeroHance Pods were installed on rear roof and sides of Santa Barbara Air Bus 980. Over the next 40 days, it travelled 10,514 miles transporting clients on its route between its depot in Goleta, California, and Los Angeles Airport. This was compared with the previous 26 days during which it drove 7248 miles. It took only 2-months to complete the data set.
