Let’s say you’re a teacher at a private high school in Utica looking to take your students on a field trip to the New York State Museum in Albany. You have 40 people in your group and need a charter bus rental for the 1.5-hour drive from Utica to Albany and back. You’ll leave Utica at 8:00 a.m., arrive in Albany around 9:30 a.m., spend the day touring the museum, and return to Utica by 6:00 p.m. that evening. That’s a 10-hour day with approximately 200 miles round-trip.
