Vermont Translines is an intercity bus company founded by its parent company, Premier Coach, in 2013. The bus company mainly serves the US Route 7 and US Route 4 corridors in the New England state of Vermont. Aided by $400,000 in annual federal grant money disbursed by the Vermont Agency of Transportation, the company also utilizes Greyhound's ticketing system and connects with other Greyhound bus routes, primarily in Burlington, Albany and White River Junction. Service on two routes between Burlington, Vermont and Albany, New York and between Rutland, Vermont and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire officially began June 9, 2014, with intermediate stops at towns and cities between.[1][2] The restart of intercity bus service for places like Rutland marked the first time some places along the current routes had seen any intercity bus service at all since Greyhound left Rutland in 2008, and in towns like Bennington since 2005.[3][4]

Both routes run 365 days a year with one run in each direction per day. Trip planning for the two routes are also available on Google Maps as of January 19, 2015.[5]

Fleet

Vermont Translines' current bus fleet consists of German bus manufacturer Setra coaches numbered 285, 286 and 287. The buses have Wi-Fi and power outlet connections available.

Livery and identity

The company's buses have a mainly white color scheme, in conjunction with a combination of black, gold and green paint. Premier Coach's logo also appears in green on the back of the vehicles, as does Vermont Translines' website address. Drivers dress primarily in green and black uniforms.
