History

Established in 2013.

Fare was founded as BritishAmerican Transportation by Mark Weekes. Mark Joined the U.S. Air Force in 2002 after graduating High School and was assigned to Shaw Air Force Base, SC. Shaw AFB had a large number of personnel from the Royal Air Force (England) assigned to it, however, many of these internationals did not have a means of transportation between the base and their hotels 30 minutes away in Columbia, SC. Mark began using a van to commute British Nationals back and forth to work, this was the beginining of BritishAmerican. After seperating from Active Duty Air Force, Mark joined the Motorcoach industry operating buses for various companies «If I ride with somebody else’s company, whether it’s a bus or taxi and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which many times it isn’t, then I think, well maybe I can create the kind of company that I’d like to ride on. So I got a second hand bus and a couple of cars and gave it a go!» and that’s exactly what he did.
