The big picture

300 people, just conference size.
What really needs to be arranged is a mission.

Let’s talk about the conclusion first

There is no one fixed vehicle answer for meeting transfers of 300 people. The fleet will first organize guest arrival and departure information into a transfer list, and then merge the batches according to time, location, number of people, luggage and reception requirements. Buses will be used to handle concentrated passenger flow, and minibuses, coasters or MPVs will be used to handle scattered and key receptions. At the same time, vehicles will be arranged at the hotel or venue. The vehicles are in place in advance, and the reception and delivery of guests are reported in a timely manner so that the organizer can clearly see the entire execution.

Service map

In a meeting, these 6 categories of vehicles usually exist at the same time.

Separate the management of different scenarios and put them into the same meeting list. When temporary changes occur, only the affected tasks can be adjusted.

✈️01

Airport transfer

Tianfu and Shuangliu airports are arranged separately according to flight time, terminal building, number of people and destination hotel.

🚄02

High speed rail station transfer

Arrange vehicles based on train number, exit, luggage and destination to avoid mixing airport and station tasks.

🏨03

Car preparation for hotels and venues

Be on call during the agreed period to handle temporary outings, venue changes and early returns.

🔁04

Venue shuttle service

Set shifts according to schedule to connect hotels, main venues, branch venues and dinner locations.

🤝05

Reception of key guests

Independently arrange a vehicle with a more flexible itinerary, and confirm the contact person, pick-up point and service requirements in advance.

06

Temporary change handling

For flight changes, location changes or new tasks, check vehicle conflicts first and then update the relevant batches.

Fleet mix

The number of vehicles is not a matter of division, but the vehicle models must be combined according to passenger flow.

Different vehicles are required for concentrated passenger flow, dispersed arrivals, key receptions and on-site changes. Reasonable mixing is easier to implement than using all the same models.

Watch the entire meeting first

For a meeting of about 300 people, the guests often do not arrive at the same time and place. Some people land at Tianfu Airport, some go to Shuangliu Airport, and some arrive from Chengdu East Railway Station or other high-speed rail stations; the return time may also change due to meeting arrangements and flight changes.

Therefore, the most important thing about conference transfer is not to report "how many cars are needed" first, but to see the entire conference clearly. The same guest may be picked up from the airport, used a car during the conference, and dropped off at the airport; there may not be a fixed guest list for venue shuttle service or hotel car preparation. These must be arranged separately as different vehicle tasks so that the scene will not be messy.

01 / 08

First put the entire meeting car scene into one picture

Most conference transport do not only have one centralized transfer on the opening day. Usually from the time the guests arrive in Chengdu until the end of the conference and return, airport pick-up, station pick-up, airport drop-off, station drop-off, car preparation at the hotel venue and venue ferry will all exist at the same time.

For key guests who need to be received individually and have more flexible itineraries, MPVs can be arranged independently; fixed flights or circular shuttles can be set up according to the conference schedule between the hotel, main venue and sub-venues; temporary outings, rescheduling and supplementary transportation during the conference period will be handled by backup vehicles or rescheduled vehicles.

Baifen Fleet will first understand the conference date, hotel venue, guest arrival and departure distribution, and arrangements during the conference, and then gradually put the vehicles, drivers, batches, and reporting methods into the form.

  • Pick-up from the airport and high-speed rail station: Arrange batches according to arrival time, pick-up point, number of people, luggage and hotel stay;
  • Drop-off at the airport or high-speed rail station: the departure time will be calculated based on the return flight and distance;
  • Car preparation for hotels and conference venues: on standby at the agreed location and time period to undertake temporary vehicle use;
  • Venue Ferry: Connecting the hotel, main venue, sub-venues and dinner locations;
  • Temporary addition: timely replacement or reassignment of vehicles based on vehicle location and subsequent tasks.

The first professional thing: Organize the pick-up list into an implementable arrangement

What the organizers first get is often registration forms, flight information and return information that are compiled successively by different departments. The fleet will not just wait for a "perfect form", but can work with the conference team to sort out: which information has been confirmed, which is still changing, which guests can be in the same car, and which need to be received separately.

We will look at "guests" and "each car trip" separately. A line in the list is a person, but the on-site execution unit is a train. In this way, when flights are changed, the itinerary is temporarily added, or a car is canceled, only the affected tasks will be adjusted without disrupting the entire schedule.

What will be focused on in the form?Why is it importantHow to arrange vehicle placement
Date, arrival time, flight or train numberDetermine where the vehicle departs from and when it enters the reception pointForm candidate batches based on similar times and continue to monitor changes
Tianfu/Shuangliu Airport, specific stations and destination hotelsDifferent pick-up points, terminals and destinations cannot be mixed in one batchSplit the route according to boarding point and destination to reduce detours
Number of people, baggage and companionshipEnough seats do not mean enough luggage space. Travelers should try to share the same car.The vehicle model leaves appropriate space for people and luggage at the same time
Key guests and special reception needsGuests traveling alone or with flexible itineraries require more connectionsArrange vehicles independently, and write transfer points and contact persons more clearly
Car for return trip and during the conferenceOne person may have multiple tasks such as airport pick-up, temporary car use, airport drop-off, etc.Each trip is numbered, dispatched and recorded to reduce missed items.

300 people is not simply divided by the number of seats, the vehicles must be combined in batches

There are the same 300 people. If most of the guests arrive together within two hours, the arrangement will be completely different than if they arrive scattered throughout the day. Batches usually look at arrival time, pick-up location, destination, number of guests, luggage space and reception requirements before deciding to merge or split.

If the arrival time is close, the pick-up point is the same, the destination is the same, and the waiting time of the guests is within the acceptable range of the conference team, the merging can be considered. When the destination hotels are different, key guests need to be received separately, or there is obviously a lot of luggage, split arrangements will be more secure.

Capacity estimates can be made in the early stage, and vehicles and drivers can be locked based on the final list before implementation. This avoids haste and leaves room for adjustments to changes in flights and personnel.

🚌
Buses handle concentrated passenger flow

When there are many guests going to the same hotel or venue at the same time, at the same pick-up point, buses will be used to transfer them together.

🚐
minibus or Coaster connecting medium batch

For batches that do not have enough people to fit on a bus and whose arrival times are relatively concentrated, we can flexibly accept them.

🚘
Decentralized business vehicle handling and focused reception

Suitable for guests who arrive on the late shift, have a small number of people, travel alone, or who value the reception experience.

🅿️
Prepare a car to allow room for changes

Undertake flexible needs such as temporary outings, venue changes, rescheduling and supplementary transportation during the exhibition period.

04 / 08

Preparing cars for hotels and conference venues is an important layer of protection for large-scale conferences.

During a meeting, unscheduled car use often occurs: guests temporarily go to another venue, go to the city for business, go to a restaurant, or leave the meeting early to catch a flight. At this time, it is not easy to control the time and service when looking for a car temporarily from outside.

Car backup means that the vehicle is on standby at the hotel, main venue or other designated location according to the agreed time period. When the conference team has temporary needs, the vehicles can go to other venues, restaurants, stations or other locations in the city. The vehicle preparation location, service period, vehicle model and on-site contact information will be agreed in advance, and the destination and completion status of temporary vehicles will also be recorded.

The number of spare vehicles is not necessarily the better, but depends on whether the meeting schedule is tight, whether the venue is dispersed, the number of key guests, the frequency of temporary needs, and how long it takes to mobilize vehicles from the outside. Arrange appropriately so that you can respond quickly without causing unnecessary idling of vehicles.

execution reminder

A backup vehicle is not an "idle vehicle", but a mobile transport capacity set aside in advance for on-site changes.

On the day of execution, each vehicle must have a clear status

The biggest fear of a large conference is not the large number of cars, but the dispersion of information: the driver says he has arrived, but he doesn’t know where to park; the guests have already boarded the car, but the conference team is still checking everywhere. Baifen Fleet will manage drivers, vehicles, pick-up points, destinations and service times for each trip, and synchronize key progress with customers.

When there are many vehicles, the identification information of the vehicles and batches will be written clearly, and the drivers will only perform their own tasks. The organizer does not need to ask dozens of drivers separately, but only needs to use a unified docking method to know which car has arrived, which batch of guests have been picked up, and whether they have been delivered.

Execution statusWhat will the team do?What can customers see
The vehicle has departedThe driver confirms the task and goes to the pick-up location as plannedThe vehicle is on its way and the mission has begun
The vehicle is in placeArrive at the agreed area and maintain communication with the on-site contact personThe vehicle location and pick-up status are clear
Already received guestsStart the trip after checking the guests and destinationsThis batch of guests has successfully boarded the bus
Delivery completedAfter getting off the bus and handing over luggage, report the end of the tripThis mission has been completed
execution reminder

For every trip, the driver must arrive at the appointed location 10 minutes early. This time is used to find the correct pick-up point, contact the on-site person in charge, and deal with temporary parking changes, so as to prevent guests from waiting for the bus after arrival.

06 / 08

Flights and guests will change, and professional dispatchers should treat changes as a daily routine

Cars used for conferences rarely follow the first version of the form from start to finish. Change does not mean chaos. The key is for someone to continuously update, re-judge whether the vehicles conflict, and synchronize the new arrangements to relevant drivers and conference groups.

Every time you change the time, change the driver, cancel or add a new itinerary, you must leave the latest results and reasons for the change. After the meeting, the organizer can check which cars were actually completed, and it is also convenient for both parties to confirm the cost.

✈️
Changes in flights or trains

Update the arrival and departure time and re-judge whether the original vehicle can continue to execute; timely reschedule in case of time conflict.

📞
The customer cannot be contacted temporarily

The driver waits at the agreed location and reports in time, and the team and the conference contact person jointly confirm the follow-up arrangements.

📍
Add destination temporarily

First look at the location of the vehicle and subsequent tasks, and then decide whether to use the backup vehicle to take over or adjust other vehicles.

🚧
Impending hotel or venue changes

Confirm the transfer areas in advance, and promptly synchronize the new pick-up point when traffic management changes.

07 / 08

Professionalism is not only in the schedule, but also must be felt by every guest

For the organizer, a clear set of forms and reporting mechanisms is very important; for guests who have just arrived in Chengdu, what they can really feel is: someone will pick them up smoothly after getting off the plane or leaving the station, someone will help them with their luggage, they will know where to go after getting on the bus, and they will not need to find their own way to the hotel.

The driver is waiting in advance and can assist guests in opening and closing the doors and loading and unloading ordinary luggage when they get on the bus. Airports, stations, hotels and venues will also agree on a gathering method in advance, and identify them by combining the pick-up board, vehicle number and contact information when necessary.

Before leaving the car, we will confirm the car model, seats and luggage space, and pay attention to the cleanliness, air conditioning and basic status of the vehicle. The conference team will not be asked to repeatedly question the reception, delivery and abnormal situations, and the team will take the initiative to synchronize and clarify the execution progress.

📍
Please specify the pick-up point

Agree on the gathering method, vehicle identification information and on-site contact person in advance.

🧳
Someone will take care of you when you get on and off the bus

The driver will wait in advance and assist in opening and closing the car doors and loading and unloading ordinary luggage.

🧼
Vehicle status check in advance

Confirm the car type based on the number of people and luggage, and do basic inspections before departure.

💬
Timely reporting of key information

Receipts, deliveries and exceptions are all synchronized in a unified manner.

08 / 08

There is no final list in the early stage, so you can sort out your ideas first.

It doesn’t matter if the organizer has a rough version first. First provide the meeting date, expected number of people, main hotel venues and approximate arrival and departure distribution, so the fleet can make transportation capacity ideas first. Subsequent guest information will be gradually determined, and the transfer list will be completed together.

From form compilation, batch arrangement, vehicle model matching to driver and vehicle implementation, to on-site trip-by-trip reporting, the entire process will continue to use the same set of arrangements.

  • Meeting date and expected number of attendees;
  • Main hotels, conference venues and approximate driving times;
  • Major transfer points include Tianfu Airport, Shuangliu Airport and high-speed rail stations;
  • Currently there is a guest arrival and departure list or a general arrangement.
execution reminder

The information does not need to be determined all at once. You can start with a version of the existing arrangement, and then gradually confirm the vehicles and batches based on the final list.

Questions

Questions often asked by conference organizers.

How many vehicles do you need for a meeting of 300 people?

It should be judged based on the arrival and departure distribution of guests. If people are concentrated, buses can be used to handle the main batches; if arrivals are dispersed throughout the day, minibuses, coasters, MPVs and backup vehicles will also be used. The number of people is just the starting point, arrival time, pick-up location, destination and luggage determine the final vehicle combination.

Can Tianfu Airport, Shuangliu Airport and high-speed rail station be arranged at the same time?

Yes. Different pick-up points will be divided into their own vehicle tasks and batches, and then put into the same set of meeting tables for coordination. The driver, vehicle, time and on-site contact person at each location must be clearly written.

The pick-up schedule has not been fully determined yet. Can I reserve a vehicle first?

You can first make a capacity estimate based on the conference size, date and preliminary arrival and departure distribution. Closer to the meeting, the models, quantities and specific drivers will be confirmed based on the final list; when the information changes, the affected batches will be adjusted simultaneously.

What should I do if my flight is delayed or my guest’s flight is temporarily changed?

The fleet will review the original vehicle arrangement based on the latest arrival and departure times. If the original driver's time permits, the task will be updated; if it conflicts with the subsequent itinerary, the task will be reassigned in time and the new arrangement will be synchronized with relevant personnel.

Where can I go if I have a car at the hotel or venue?

The backup vehicle is on standby at the agreed location and service period, and can be arranged by the conference team to travel to other venues, restaurants, stations or other locations in the city. The specific service scope, duration and cost will be agreed in advance in the car plan.

How does the organizer know whether each batch of guests has been received?

Drivers report key statuses such as vehicle arrival, customer reception, and delivery completion according to tasks, and the fleet summarizes and synchronizes them with customers. If a customer cannot be found or the location changes, etc., we will promptly provide feedback and handle it.

Start planning

The list has not yet been completely determined, so you can first discuss the scale of the meeting and its main points.

Once you have the meeting date, expected number of people, major hotel venues, and one version of arrival and departure information, you can plan your transportation capacity first, and then update batches with the list later.
