The luxury coach service that launched with a single route 10 years ago has returned to its pre-pandemic stride with rapid expansion and delighted passengers
Vonlane, the regional premium transportation company, has come roaring back from the 2020 Pandemic-era travel shutdown to pick up a trio of awards for fast growth over the past three years. This week, the company was named to the Inc. 5000 and the Dallas Business Journal’s Fast 50 lists, and earlier this summer, it picked up a Longhorn 100 award.
“Receiving these honors for our hard work this year – in 2024 - is especially meaningful for our team. It’s our 10th anniversary but more importantly, this is our first series of growth awards since the pandemic’s travel slowdown,” shares Alex Danza, founder & CEO of Vonlane. “I often say that Vonlane is a company we’ve built twice – before and after the pandemic. Our success is a direct result of our 190 passionate team members and our over 1 million passengers who’ve joined us to make riding the bus cool again. Thank you for taking that first ride with us.”
The trio of honors include:
- 2024 Inc. 5000 List – This is Vonlane’s 2nd time being featured as an Inc. 5000 honoree. For the 2024 list, Vonlane ranked at No. 2,213 with a 236% 3-year growth rate. Previously, the company ranked for Inc. 5000 in 2019 and Regionals in 2020 and 2021.
- Dallas Business Journal Fast 50 Awards 2024 – This is Vonlane’s 1st time as an honoree for the award recognizing fast growth for North Texas businesses over three years. Rankings will be announced in September.
- 2024 Longhorn 100 List – This is Vonlane’s 1st time as an honoree for the award recognizing fast growth over three years for businesses founded, owned, or led by a University of Texas alumni. Vonlane ranked 42.
Danza adds, “Our growth trajectory is steep and strong. We’re thrilled to bring our Passenger-First service to more markets and weary travelers.”
Vonlane offers more than 500 weekly departures between eight cities in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, and in Atlanta, Nashville, and Memphis.
