Constructed from a repurposed school bus, the vehicle offers two entrances for each party to board the bus through. The inside is outfitted with plexiglass that divides the inside of the bus and creates airtight compartments for each member of the meeting.

Each compartment also has its own air filtration system. Microphones on either side of the compartments allow party members to hear each other clearly, and after every meeting, the entire bus is thoroughly sanitized.

Paul Scharf has been traveling in the bus for several months across the northeast and mid-west, meeting with customers to supply glass bottles, aluminum bottles and plastic production parts for the flavor and fragrance industry.

He is currently setting off on a journey across 30 states, beginning and ending in New York. He believes the trip will take three to four months and will visit with as many flavor and fragrance companies as he and his team can.
