The Green Shuttle - A personal & environmentally responsible car transportation service throughout C

WALKING THE TALK …

It is hard to believe that 16 years ago we started our Green Shuttle business on the simple premise that driving our clients in a fuel efficient hybrid to the airport was just better for the environment than driving a traditional black towncar to the airport. Getting 40 mpg was just better for the environment than getting 20 mpg. Cutting carbon emissions in half was simply a good thing to do. Personally I am not a “tree hugger” type, I am just pragmatic. I love the outdoors, I love being outdoors, I love the ocean and I just want to do what I can to keep those beautiful environments, beautiful. For us, for our kids and most importantly for our beautiful grandchildren. Nothing fancy, just practical. We have driven about 8,000,000 miles since we started, that’s a lot of carbon. If you don’t agree that this is a good thing to do, that’s fine, no need to argue, I will just keep doing my thing anyway because for me it just feels right.

OUR FUTURE ….

We are in the process of evaluating fully electric cars (EV’s) for our fleet. In our business, reliability and dependability are our number 1 priorities and we will not make this conversion until we are comfortable that the time is right. Range is still an issue and reliability is still a concern. Charging infrastructure still isn’t there yet. We will continue to do our due diligence but you can expect to see EV’s in our fleet within the next 2-5 years and hopefully we will convert our fleet to full EV’s within the next 10 years. Again, just because it makes good economic sense for our business. I am personally the EV “test kitchen” for our business. One thing I have noticed about 20,000 miles into the tests is how much money I am saving compared to an ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle. The savings are substantial and Massachusetts is not known for cheap electricity. If you live in a cheap electricity state and are not driving an EV for your around town errands you may want to “do the math” and see how much you can save. You may find that it is substantial.

CELEBRATING TODAY ….

It is nice to acknowledge our planet today, but, what about the other 364 days of the year? We run our business 24/7/365 … we try to do the right thing every day, in our business and in our daily lives, and we will continue that mission.

REASONS TO BE HOPEFUL …

Of the many articles being posted today this one got my attention and I post an excerpt below. We are making progress, hope always springs eternal ❤️. Thank you all for your loyalty over the years and we hope to be here for you for many years to come ☮️

A very informative article on Electric vehicles and battery sourcing. It Seems the worlds best and brightest are working hard on this one

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02222-1

Reducing the use of scarce metals — and recycling them — will be key to the world’s transition to electric vehicles.

WOW !

We expected this summer to be a lot busier than last summer but we are now getting over 4 times the number of requests for rides. We are doing our best to accommodate all requests but this has become very difficult, with some disappointments.

To help us, if you plan to book a trip, please book as early as you can, maybe when you book your flights you could book us at the same time. Remember we do not charge anything for changes so if you book and your plans should change just call us and we will happily take care of your change in plans.

Wishing you all a happy and safe summer

I watched the Ford Reveal show for the new all electric F150, available on U-Tube. Obviously Ford is all in on electric and this is a very impressive product. If you lose power in your home you can use the truck as your generator ... for a few days !! Power your job sites and it’s the fastest F150 ever made including the beastly Raptor ... and has a remarkable 10,000 pound towing capacity and 2,000 pound load capacity (1 ton) .... game changer ... and starting under $40k

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Ford's 2022 F-150 Lightning electric pickup could change how America travels and works

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2021/05/19/2022-ford-f-150-lightning-ev/5176126001/

The electric pickup is a cornerstone of Ford’s $22 billion investment in EVs that began with the Mustang Mach-E sporty SUV last year.

Every day we receive customer feedback. We ❤️ hearing from our customers. Every once in a while we like to share a feedback, this one from Jane really captured the spirit of our business
——————————————————


I just want to say thank you!

Because of airline changes, we ended up on the red-eye flight from Phoenix to Boston. Then there was Russell, cheerful and gracious as always. It is such a pleasure to know that we can always rely on the Green Shuttle to whisk us away to the right place. And a special pleasure to have such lovely drivers as Russell.

Thanks, Jane

For the past 15 years, The Green Shuttle founder Dean Athanas has taken great pride in providing an awarding winning customer experience for all of his clients, and he promises to do the same for the next 15 years. 2020 has been difficult for many industries including ours. With a little free time due to the decrease in transportation needs Dean couldn’t sit idle and has decided to team up and revive his first career as a broker/owner that he started over 45 years ago. If you have enjoyed The Green Shuttle please be sure to visit him at The Realty Cape Cod for all your real estate needs. Visit their page, give it a like, and meet the team.

Well ... it’s a done deal !

We had previously mentioned to many of you that we were going to open a Real estate office, in addition to our transportation service, to help us navigate through the severe impact of the virus on our airport shuttle business. The name of the new real estate business is

THE REALTY CAPE COD

Our office is now open and when you call us you will still hear those familiar voices; Kerri, Josie, Kim, Jillian and Cheryl. They will still be covering the phones for both businesses. Need a ride, call us. Have a real estate need, call us.

Our Real Estate venture will specialize in residential, commercial and seasonal rentals. We are also very fortunate to have started the real estate business with two seasoned real estate professionals; Paul Forsberg and Rob Frangieh. Both are very accomplished and highly respected real estate agents in our area.

So ... “Mask up”, stop by the office and say hello. Kerri will be in our office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays from 9am to 3pm. The other days and weekends will be a coverage rotation. Also visit our page for The Realty Cape Cod. It will be a great way to keep connected to real estate activity on the Cape.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season
Dean and the Green Shuttle Team 🎄
