PETER PAN BUS LINES

'Peter Pan Bus Lines' is a long-distance bus carrier that operates in the northeastern states of the United States. Over four million passengers travel on Peter Pan's bus routes every year.
The company was originally founded as Yellow Cab Air Line in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the company remains based, and was purchased by Peter Carmen Picknelly in 1933.
Peter Pan was affliated with Trailways beginning in the 1990s, but ended that affiliation in 2005.[1]

Peter Pan's major service areas include: Boston, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; Springfield, Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticut; New York, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; and points in between.
The operation south of New York City (other than Atlantic City casino service) began with an expansion in the early 1990's (after which the company joined the Trailways network). 1994 schedules showed an additional expansion to Norfolk, Virginia and Ocean City, Maryland via the Delmarva Peninsula, paralleling services operated by Carolina Trailways, (which was owned by competitor Greyhound Lines) but this was very brief.
In the late 1990s, an alliance was formed with Greyhound, coordinating schedules, marketing, and ticket sales.
Peter Pan's Coaches consist mainly of vehicles manufacured by Motor Coach Industries. The fleet also consists of Van Hools,and some RTS buses which came along with their takeover of Coach USA's Northeastern division companies, namely Arrow Line, Mini Coach of Boston, Maine Line, Pawtuxet Valley, and the Providence-based Bonanza. Peter Pan has since shut down Pawtuxet Valley and Maine Line.
