Not Just a Bus Company: How Planetary Transport Company is a Movement

John Long and I set out to create a company that would change the way artists fueled their tours. Biodiesel for Bands, LLC and the nonprofit, STAMP (Sustainable Touring for Artists, Musicians, and Performers was born. ”Bringing Bands to Fans and Fans to Bands…Sustainably” was and still is our motto. At the time biodiesel was the most practical alternative to fossil fuel’s domination of the music industry. It still is, but other technologies are gaining substantial traction, and we intend to utilize them all to end the music industry’s dependance on petroleum. Hence, the name change to Planetary Transport Company. Planetary meaning “For the Planet.”

We didn’t just create a bus company, we designed a blueprint for something much bigger, and it will work in thousands of communities across North America. We just need financial and human capital to expand our operations. That is why we are asking for your investment and for you join our membership.

At Planetary, we move people differently—physically and philosophically. We utilize petroleum as little as possible, we are moving to be fossil fuel free, and we serve the creative economy, believing artists have the power to lead this climate transition.

When you ride with us, you’re not just getting from A to B. You’re aligning your values with your logistics.

You’re proving that you don’t need fossil fuels to move a crowd or a band.

And thanks to our Wefunder campaign, we’re scaling this work into something even bigger—more vehicles, more cities, more impact.

If you’re ready to back a movement for positive social, economic, and environmental change—this is your chance.

Join the Fossil-Free Touring Revolution — Our WeFunder Campaign Is Live!

The truth is most artists have no choice. Touring and selling T-shirts is how musicians make their living. Right now, petroleum is the only reliable choice touring artists have. Planetary Transport Company and our partner nonprofit, STAMP (Sustainable Touring for Artists, Musicians, and Performers) have a plan to change that.

From vans to tour buses to the generators at music festivals, they are all powered by petroleum. Every mile puts more carbon dioxide and carcinogenic particulates in the air and more money in the pockets of fossil fuel giants who don’t care about our music, our message, our communities, or our planet. Not only that but those same petroleum monopolies, take our money and buy politicians who vote against the arts every chance they get. They know we need to tour to bring in revenue and they gouge us. For decades, they have been gouging us while suppressing any viable alternative to their monopoly.  We, as artists, must stop giving these bastards our money. We as human beings on this planet, must stop giving these bastards our money.

Planetary Transport Company and STAMP have a plan to make fossil fuel free alternatives a reality.  This plan will work in nearly every major city and college town across North America. We want to operate in all of them, building a network that will give artists, creators and communities legitimate alternatives to petroleum. Alternatives that don’t lock artists into systems that destroy the planet they’re trying to inspire.

Our WeFunder campaign goal is to build a prototype operation that will serve the Front Range of Colorado and Cheyenne and Laramie in Wyoming. Then replicate that in major cities and college towns across North America.

We will provide the following products and services to the communities in which we operate:

  • Renewable diesel/biodiesel, hydrogen, and green electricity/charging stations (not coal)
  • Fossil fuel free taxi, shuttle, and charter services and vehicle and tour bus rentals
  • Fleet fueling services
  • Generators, light towers, and battery power services to festivals, businesses, and the public
  • Drivers education for the next generations of drivers as well as sustainability education

We’ve already transported over 25,000 passengers to events, festivals, and concerts across Colorado and Wyoming. We’ve provided fueling, transportation, and consultation services to dozens of artists and festivals. And now, we’re raising funds to scale so we can provide these services to communities everywhere. We hope you’ll join our team, The Planetary Alliance, on the ground floor as we prepare to launch.

Our Wefunder campaign isn’t just about buses. It’s about building a regenerative touring economy where artists own their infrastructure,  and creativity doesn’t come at the cost of climate collapse.

Whether you’re an artist, a fan, or someone who wants to live in a world where the road to your dreams doesn’t run on oil—we invite you to fuel the change.

Kicking Petroleum: Planetary Transport Company for Sustainable Touring

As we approach a new era, it’s evident that our dependence on fossil fuels is no longer viable. The planet suffers from pollution, corruption, and violence perpetuated by petroleum companies. But what if we could change the narrative? What if we could create a sustainable alternative that benefits both our environment and communities?

Enter Planetary Transport Company (PTC), the world’s first petroleum-free transportation company. Our mission? “Bringing Bands to Fans and Fans to Bands…Sustainably.” Let’s explore how PTC is revolutionizing the industry and inviting artists, musicians, and performers to join our #KickPetroleum campaign.

The Biodiesel Solution

Biodiesel—a cleaner, greener alternative to traditional diesel fuel—holds the key to a brighter future. Consider these compelling facts:

  1. Reduced Emissions: Biodiesel exhaust contains 78% less CO2, 50% fewer particulates, and a staggering 99% fewer carcinogens than petroleum exhaust. Imagine the impact if every tour bus, van, and truck ran on biodiesel!
  2. Universal Compatibility: Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine without modification. It’s a drop-in replacement that doesn’t compromise performance or reliability.

The Kick Petroleum Blueprint

Our vision extends beyond the stage. PTC’s Kick Petroleum Blueprint outlines a business model that can transform cities and college towns across North America and Europe. Here’s the plan:

  • Artists Unite: We’re calling on environmentally conscious artists to join our alliance. With just 10% of artists on board, we can establish operations in over 150 cities, making petroleum-free touring a reality coast to coast within a decade. With 20%, we’ll achieve this in just 5 years.
  • No Handouts, Just Harmony: PTC isn’t asking for donations. Instead, we seek a loan—one night of your life, one day’s work, or one day’s pay. In return, you’ll help create a better world and receive interest on your investment.
  • Concerts as Declarations: Picture this—a band produces a concert, not just for the music but as an announcement to the world that they’re kicking petroleum. Managers, promoters, stagehands—all play their part, and artists lend PTC their personal commitment.
