EARLY BUS AND AUTO STAGE LINES

PENNSYLVANIA


EARLY BUS ROUTES

Beginning in 1914, intrastate bus service was regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Service Commission, later the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Information could not be located, regarding the issuance of Certificates of Convenience and Necessity for bus service. But the April 1922 issue of the publication "Bus Transportation" included a table listing the bus routes in existence in Pennsylvania.

Not listed are city bus routes, along with bus routes of a suburban nature operating strictly within one county.

This information does not include the actual bus companies operating the routes. And it was not possible, to establish how these companies became part of the Greyhound or other larger bus companies.
