LINE is a luxury bus company inspired by business-class air travel. Created by intercity transit company Trailways of New York, LINE offers an alternative for those seeking modern ground transportation. LINE launched last week with routes between Manhattan and both the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains.

An on-board attendant greets guests and scans their mobile boarding passes. Guests enjoy complimentary, healthy and sustainably sourced snacks and beverages. Complimentary on-board entertainment systems and WiFi give guests access to music, movies, TV shows and more.

“We realized that customers wanted a better way to travel,” said Alexander Berardi, director of marketing and business development, Trailways of New York. “We were inspired by what companies such as the Hampton Jitney Ambassador service currently offer, and we identified an opportunity for us to do even better for the modern-day traveler vacationing or on a day trip. More than ever, Americans are embracing European views toward travel, and they’re eager to do their part to reduce their carbon footprint. We believe that LINE could be the answer to making mass transit a more appealing way for folks to do that. It’s arguable proof from an industry leader, that when it comes to transportation, responsibility to the environment and innovation must meet in the middle in order to achieve cleaner air, a healthier planet and a better perception of travel by bus.”
