BOSTON, July 7, 2009–Rockbus LLC today announced the expansion of its concert transportation service to include Fenway Park in downtown Boston and Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Rockbus will offer coach services to Fenway Park for the upcoming Paul McCartney shows, as well as the U2, AC/DC, Kenny Chesney, and Elton John/Billy Joel dates at Gillette Stadium.
«Fenway Park is a truly unique concert venue,» said Jim McPartlin, Rockbus co-founder and business manager. «Rockbus is thrilled to be working with the Red Sox ownership to provide fans with convenient and eco-friendly transportation to one of the hottest concert venues in Boston.»
«Since the launch of Rockbus earlier this year, we’ve received numerous requests for trips to Gillette Stadium,» McPartlin continued. «We’re very excited to also expand our service to such a hugely popular venue.»
Rockbus currently offers concert transportation services to all summer 2009 shows at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Mass, from departure points in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Fans can check out shows and routes, and purchase seats on Rockbus at www.rockbusboston.com.
A natural partner
For the past six years, Fenway Park has featured some of the biggest names in music, and 2009 is no different. Shows at the park consistently sell out, making Rockbus a natural partner to support fans traveling to the unique concert venue.
«The Rockbus is right in line with our commitment to use environmentally sustainable habits and technologies in the operation of the team and Fenway Park,» said Larry Cancro, Senior Vice President/Fenway Affairs. «We are also conscious of the impact ballpark events can have on our neighbors, and strongly support providing a form of mass transportation that can help reduce traffic and sidewalk congestion.»
Reducing the carbon footprint
Rockbus coaches pick up at conveniently located rally points around the region, and will take riders to and from the main entrance of Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium. More than 70% of any concert’s carbon footprint is caused by fans’ transportation, making Rockbus an environmentally positive–as well as fun and easy–travel option for concertgoers.
