In 2003, I enjoyed a trip on a pool run from Rochester to Harrisburg on a Capitol bus. I did it to relive my mid-1970's experiences of riding overnight Greyhound-Continental Trailways pool bus from Buffalo and Williamsport (which went onto DC), and connected with a B&C model 05 Eagle transcon bus to New York of which there were 4 a day.The Greyhound Buffalo-Batavia-Elmira local route is gone 25 years, victim of NYS and PA bus deregulation. Continental Trailways' transcon route is entirely obliterated (except maybe Denver-Salt Lake). Susquehanna runs Elmira-Williamsport, and runs a local service from there to New York. That is probably an old Edwards Motor Transit (Continental Trailways in Pennsylvania) franchise. Today, you can only do that southbound out of Rochester in one day. The the portion north of Elmira is an isolated New York Trailways schedule. |
