Atlanta’s Atlantic Limousine Adds Six New Buses

The Atlantic Limousine & Transportation team takes the delivery of its six newest Temsa buses Atlanta — Atlantic Limousine & Transportation welcomed the addition of six new Temsa buses to its fleet right before this year’s Super Bowl LIII touched down in its hometown of Atlanta.

The company’s founder/President Robert Oskouie says that his company got into the big-rig game back in 2007 and hasn’t looked back.

“When we started working with bus companies, they didn’t have the chauffeur mentality that we were looking for,” Oskouie said. “So we bought our first bus, put our chauffeurs with their suits and ties in the driver’s seat, and they helped passengers get in and out of the vehicle and handled their luggage—and everyone loved it.”

Today, the company has 21 coaches and 13 minicoaches—which includes the four 56-passenger coach buses and two 40-passenger executive-style buses it just purchased.

While Atlantic is not only Department of Transportation-approved but also Department of Defense-certified—meaning it’s cleared to do work for the likes of the army and the National Guard—the company has contracts with various local organizations, and is an in-demand provider for both corporate and special-occasion groups, too.

But having the Super Bowl in their backyard encouraged both Oskouie and his brother/business partner Hoss to beef up their fleet before the biggest professional sporting event of the year.

“We had some big contracts secured for the Super Bowl, so we thought ‘Why not?’,” Oskouie said. “We figured that if we’re going to purchase more vehicles anyway, we might as well get them before the Super Bowl so we can use them for that and get some extra money from them.”

As buses become geared more and more toward the luxury ground transportation industry and group work rises in popularity, Oskouie believes it will only become more critical than ever for traditionally limousine- and sedan-based companies to offer bus and motorcoach options to their clients.

“They’ve helped us tremendously to grow, and part of why that is is because we offer brand-new equipment,” he explained. “People love the fact that they’re clean, the have satellites for long trips, the latest equipment, and outlets for their phones and tablets. We took the limousine mentality and transferred it over to buses—and that’s what everybody’s doing in this industry. Any limousine company that’s growing their bus side so those passengers feel like they’re being treated at the high level they expect. We’re moving away from buses being just people movers to being seen as luxury transportation.”
