The state of Vermont has always been known for its entrepreneurial
spirit, and one of the companies that best portrayed that spirit in
the 20th century was Vermont Transit Company, Inc. Founder William
Appleyard had the vision to tie together into one system the
numerous intercity bus operations throughout Vermont. His astute
business sense and his foresight changed the face of transportation
in Vermont by opening the state to its own citizens. Vermont
Transit connected Vermonters to their families, friends, and
business associates in neighboring towns, and further to Boston,
Portland, New York City, and all points beyond. For the first time,
people from all corners of the state had easy and inexpensive
access to transportation in the days when private automobile
ownership was a rarity. Born at the beginning of the Great
Depression, Vermont Transit enjoyed a highly respected national
reputation for nearly eighty years, until it was completely
absorbed by Greyhound in 2008. This is the first complete history
of the company, with special emphasis on the people that allowed it
to live up to its motto, "The People Will Be Served."
