About Us

Our story began in 1926, with the purchase of a single bus in Buffalo NY, and the creation of the Rip Van Winkle Bus Company. This business has grown to become the well-known Adirondack Trailways bus company. Almost a century of continued growth has incorporated the Pine Hill-Kingston Bus Corporation as Pine Hill Trailways and Empire Trailways of Rochester, NY as New York Trailways. All three companies are still owned by the Berardi/Van Gonsic families and comprise the Trailways of New York brand.

We are proud of our current team of Professional Coach Bus Drivers, our safety record and our ability to provide our customers with motor coach travel to their favorite destinations. Our goal is to continue the growth of Trailways of New York and to build and sustain careers of our current team and for the new Professional Coach Bus Drivers that join us.
