Burlington Trailways is an intercity bus company based in West Burlington, Iowa.
Burlington Trailways was founded in 1929 as the Burlington Transportation Company, a subsidiary of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. It started as a bus line that ran through Highway 34. In 1934, the service expanded to Denver and Omaha and in 1935 from Chicago to California. In 1936 it was a charter member of the Trailways Transportation System, an association of independent intercity bus operators created to offset the growing strength of Greyhound Lines.[2] [3] [4]
In 1952, Burlington Transportation Company was renamed into Burlington Trailways.
As of September 2022, Burlington Trailways operates the following routes. Intermediate stops are not listed.[5]
