    Ed Lonsbary said, “Private Motor Coach, Inc. is a demographics based business founded on the premise that Baby Boomers will want to travel. In addition, there is an ever-expanding population of persons wanting to travel; but due to health constraints, traditional modes of travel just will not work.  Private Motor Coach, Inc. is meeting these lifestyle requirements.
