Welcome to Susquehanna Trailways. We are a third generation family-owned motorcoach company based in Avis, PA. We have been in business for almost 6 decades and operate a fleet of 27 modern, 47 and 55 passenger MCI and Prevost motorcoaches. They are equipped with restroom, air conditioning, reclining seats, AM/FM radio with cassette player, VCR player and TV monitors, cellular phones and our own private radio frequency for communicating from bus to bus on multiple group tours.

Our drivers are trained professionals. They are qualified under all the current State and Federal D.O.T. rules and regulations. We have an extensive driver safety program consisting of safety meetings, refresher training seminars and on-going monitoring of all drivers by the safety director.
