Astounding. Whopping. Impressive. Meteoric. Almost unbelievable.
These are just a few adjectives that have been used to describe the 111,130% growth that propelled CharterUP to the No. 2 spot on Inc. 5000’s prestigious list of America’s fastest-growing companies.
While numbers alone can’t capture the significance of CharterUP’s achievement, understanding the magnitude of the growth can give some perspective to the innovation, dedication and commitment fueling it.
Here are a few comparisons to help grasp what 111,130% growth really looks like.
Distance: 111,130 Miles Traveled
If you drove a bus for just one mile and then experienced a 111,130% increase in distance, you would be able to travel 4.5 times around the Earth’s equator.
Length: 44,520 Feet Long
The average bus is about 40 feet long. If it stretched by 111,130%, it would be over 44,520 feet long. That’s equivalent to 8.4 miles of bus.
Fuel: 1,111.3 Gallons of Gas
Imagine you filled your bus with just one gallon of fuel. A 111,130% increase would mean you’d now have enough fuel to travel from New York to Los Angeles and back.
People: 55,565 Passengers
An average bus can seat around 50 passengers. If we saw a 111,130% growth in that number, we could sell out a game at Dodger’s Stadium in Los Angeles.
Time: 11,123 Minutes
If a 10-minute ride is extended by 111,130%, passengers would be in for a journey lasting almost 77 days.
Speed: 66,678 Miles Per Hour
Think of a bus going at a steady pace of 60 mph. A 111,130% surge in speed would get you from Los Angeles to New York City in just 2.5 minutes.
