We have some buses at work that we are turning over to the charter department, where they actually will get LESS miles put on them than doing "line run" work. The reason? They are approaching 500,000 miles, and the lease is up at that time, we have to pay a per-mile penalty when they go over 500K. They are only about 4 years old. Our highest mileage coach is at about 1,750,000 at this time. It's an 8-71 Detroit, originally had a 5 speed manual, got converted to an Allison automatic. I think it was made in the early 80's. Doesn't get used much now, it was converted to an "Executive Coach".
For buses used for line-run work, they'll accumulate about 150,000 per year. I'm sure some of these long haul semi's get more on than that.
