The year 2010 marks the 98th Anniversary of Collins Bus Service/Post Road Stages Inc. It is the oldest bus service in continuous operation under the same family ownership in the United States. The company was founded in September of 1912 with transportation for local school children with a two-horse sleigh in the winter and a horse drawn wagon in fair weather, thereby creating Collins Bus Service.

The company continued to transport school children and operate school and church charters for the next 19 years.

During WW2 Collins Bus Service provided transportation to Pratt and Whitney Aircraft in East Hartford 7 days a week and transportation for local farm labor which became a forerunner of the famous tobacco run.

The operation has now become a full service Motor Coach company consisting of Post Road Stages, the charter division, Collins Bus Service, the transit division; and Post Road Tours, providing group and individual tours all across the US.
