Burlington Trailways Continues to Serve Community with Tours, Charters & Shop Services
Burlington Trailways has recently drawn the curtain on its longstanding intercity “line run” schedule – the daily routes that once took passengers from towns like Burlington to major cities such as Chicago. This decision, though necessary, has stirred some uncertainty. While this change has caused some confusion in the community, Burlington Trailways would like to reassure customers and friends that the company is still very much open and serving Southeast Iowa and beyond.
Contrary to some recent posts circulating on social media, Burlington Trailways has not been purchased by Jefferson Lines. Instead, Jefferson Lines has adjusted its own routes and schedules to cover some of the areas no longer served by Burlington Trailways’ to accommodate passengers. Burlington Trailways remains an independent, family-owned business, proudly rooted in the Midwest.
Travel & Tour Services Continue Strong
Burlington Trailways Travel is moving forward with an exciting lineup of group tours, offering unique destinations and memorable experiences for travelers. In addition, Burlington Trailways continues to offer reliable charter bus rental services with our 44 passenger tour motorcoaches for schools, churches, businesses and any organization seeking dependable transportation. Travelers can sign up to receive the Trailways Travel weekly e-newsletter with tour updates at www.TrailwaysTravel.com.
Mechanics, Collision Care & Beyond
Beyond the wheels of travel, Burlington Trailways is also proud to continue offering full-service auto-body and diesel mechanic services for both individuals and companies in the surrounding communities. Buses, RVs, semis, farm machinery – we handle it all. With a 60-foot paint booth and seasoned technicians versed in fiberglass, sheet metal, and diesel systems, our facility is built for scale and precision.
In moments of misfortune, customers find reassurance here as well.
Burlington Trailways’ technicians can work directly with most major insurers, easing the burdens that come with accidents. Preventative maintenance, overhauls, and cosmetic refinements are all carried out with craftmanship that speaks louder than slogans.
A Trusted Hand in the Region
Burlington Trailways is proud to be the trusted service provider for SEI and Southeastern Community College buses and fleet vehicles. Emergency vehicles from Burlington and West Burlington are also kept in motion through our company’s care. Such partnerships reflect the trust earned by consistent, high-quality workmanship – and the invitation is open to other organizations with fleet needs.
A Neighborly Promise
While our daily scheduled service has come to an end, Burlington Trailways is still here for our community. Whether you’re traveling with us on a group tour, reserving a charter, or bringing your vehicles into our shop, we look forward to continuing to serve you.
