COMPANY INFORMATION:
Bauer’s is a full service transportation management company specializing in corporate and individual commuting solutions and services. Voted the “greenest” transportation company in America, we have a large fleet of high-tech, eco-friendly vehicles with luxury features and a team of highly trained chauffeurs. Now celebrating its 20th year, Bauer’s also has a special event team who specializes in the planning of large group logistics and individual outings of all kinds.
Our clients include Silicon Valley notables like Yahoo, Cisco, PG&E, Linked-In, to name a few.
Going forward, Bauer’s focus has been to identify opportunities in public ground transportation and take advantage by being the first to exploit them becoming the leader in the Bay Area. Presently, we have been invited into a segment of the industry that has been primarily serviced by 3 companies in the US, each generating $800 million in revenue per year. This segment, the municipal transit industry, faces significant financial pressures as well as looking for a new direction away from the same old carriers that provided the bare minimal services. Due to the high quality of service that Bauer’s has developed over the last 20 years, we have been encouraged and invited to provide management and oversight services to several municipal transit districts; these oversight services do not require the use of any of our equipment, just our expertise and management. This type of work is plentiful and it is our intention to gain market share from the aforementioned providers.
In conjunction with our plans in the municipal transit segment, we have been developing a new service known as Wi-Drive! The goal of this service is to provide individual commuters the opportunity to live in areas they desire while having the ability to commute in convenience and style as well as be productive during their commute. The municipal transit industry provides Bauer’s an excellent opportunity to reach the next level of business growth, outstanding customer service, and leadership in the industry. It has been a great 20 years for Bauer’s growing through some of the most difficult times, and we plan, along with the help of an exceptional Vice-President, to grow and be strong for the next 20 years.
Bauer’s is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Please forward a cover letter and detailed resume of experience to mias@bauersIT.com.
