Trailways of New York operates scheduled bus service in the state of New York and into Canada through three divisions: Adirondack Trailways, Pine Hill Trailways, and New York Trailways.

History

In 1926, John Van Gonsic, Sr. launched the Rip Van Winkle Line between Kingston and New York City in the state of New York with service extended to the northern Hudson Valley and Capital Region in the mid-1930s. The change of the company's name to Adirondack Transit Lines to more accurately illustrated their service to the rural upstate New York area. In 1937, Adirondack Transit Lines became part of the National Trailways Bus System and became known as Adirondack Trailways.

In 1965, John Van Gonsic, Jr (successor to John Van Gonsic, Sr.) formed Pine Hill Trailways to expand service into the Catskill Mountain region. Eugene J. Berardi, Sr. soon took over control of Pine Hill Trailways until his death four years later. Control was passed to his wife Cynthia Van Gonsic Berardi. In 1988, the company was passed to her son, Eugene J. Berardi, Jr.

Empire Trailways was acquired by Adirondack and Pine Hill Trailways in 1994, and Empire Trailways became known as New York Trailways, Service was operated along the Albany-Buffalo corridor. In 1996, Adirondack Trailways began operating scheduled service to Montreal. Later expansions to service were maded between Albany and Binghamton as well as service to Watertown, Massena and other North Country communities.
