Encyclopedia > Trailways Transportation System

The Trailways Transportation System is a group of 63 independent bus companies that have entered into a franchise agreement. The system used to provide coast-to-coast service, but in the early 1990s Trailways's biggest member merged with Greyhound Lines, effectively ending nationwide competition in the motorcoach transportation industry.


Today the various Trailways franchises are spread across North America, generally providing service to areas not served by any other bus company.

Trailways Transportation System: Information from Answers.com (430 words)
The Trailways Transportation System is a group of 63 independent bus companies that have entered into a franchising agreement.
Although Greyhound negotiated cooperative schedules with Carolina Coach Company and Southeastern Trailways, two of the larger members of the Trailways system, many smaller carriers were effectively forced out of business.
Today the various Trailways franchises are spread across North America, with some members providing regular route service to areas not served by any other bus company on an interlining basis with Greyhound Lines, each other, and independent companies.
Trailways of New York: Eugene J. Berardi, Jr., CEO & President (740 words)
Adirondack Trailways continued to operate steadily after World War II as the New York State Thruway and major urban transportation hubs - including the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City - facilitated the growing demand for interstate bus service in the region.
Reorganized under the name New York Trailways, service was resumed along the primary Albany-Buffalo corridor once substantial improvements were made to the fleet and operating structure.
Two years later, Adirondack Trailways also benefited from an extension of its operating area, when regularly scheduled service was extended north to Montreal.
