Peter Pan Bus Lines and Trailways announced a new strategic partnership effective immediately.
The new alliance adds Peter Pan destinations to Trailways.com and Trailways.ca, and many Trailways destinations to PeterPanBus.com, providing customers with even more reliable, convenient, and affordable ground travel options.
Impact of the Peter Pan/Trailways Partnership
Just in time for the busy July 4 weekend, the companies have debuted overnight service connecting major cities, such as Toronto and Montreal with Boston, Providence, Hartford, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC.
The alliance has also seen transportation restored between rural communities for the first time since the COVID pandemic. Entire regions of the Northeast, such as the Adirondacks to Cape Cod, are now reconnected by lifeline ground transportation as a result of the partnership.
“Few family-run private bus companies, like Peter Pan and Trailways, continue to operate regular scheduled route services,” said Peter A Picknelly, chairman & CEO for Peter Pan Bus Lines. “We are very pleased to have our companies working together to make travel throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states more convenient and affordable for all passengers.”
The new services are powered by technical integrations from Transcor Data Services of Jacksonville, Fla.
