Founded in 1957 initially as a school bus service provider, the company started offering charter buses and tours in 1979 and intercity commuter routes in February 2019. ServiceKlein operates an intercity commuter bus route from Douglassville to Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Intermediate stops are located in Reading, Kutztown, Wescosville, and Hellertown.[1][2] The company provides charter bus and school bus service in the Reading, Pottstown, King of Prussia, and Philadelphia areas. Klein offers motorcoach tours to various locations in the Mid-Atlantic states including cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.; the Pocono Mountains; and beaches at the Jersey Shore and Ocean City, Maryland.[3] Klein also operates casino bus service to Atlantic City, Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, and Mohegan Sun Pocono; with some casino packages offering free slot play. The buses to Atlantic City run on Sundays along with Wednesdays in the summer months and offer departures from Shillington, Douglassville, Royersford, and Audubon. The buses to Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem run on Tuesdays and Thursdays and offer departures from Douglassville, Shillington, and Reading/Laureldale. The buses to Mohegan Sun Pocono run on the fourth Monday of the month and offer departures from Royersford, Douglassville, and Shillington.[4] Klein also offers planning for school trips, which includes school bus and motorcoach rental.[3] HistoryThe company began in 1957, when John Klein started a school bus contracting service in the Pottstown, Pennsylvania area, serving the Daniel Boone Area School District. They were extremely successful in the early years, before more established operators like First Student entered the market in the 1990s. John Klein's son William took over the company in the early 1960s and ran it until his death in 2000. In 1979, the company became a Public Carrier; the same year, William Klein's wife Mary started Klein Tours. Mary Klein retired from daily responsibilities in the business in 1999. Wayne Klein became president of the company in 1999 after William and Mary Klein retired and took over ownership in November 2008 upon the death of Mary Klein.[5] The company was reorganized to its current form in March 2013, when many of the school buses were liquidated in exchange of limousines and tourbuses. Klein started to develop a reputation in the Schuylkill River Valley with many services running to the King of Prussia or Philadelphia areas. On February 8, 2019, the company announced that it was joining the commuter bus business, with a route from Douglassville to Midtown Manhattan in New York City that would replace a route formerly operated by Bieber Transportation Group, which went out of business the same day. Service began on the following Monday, February 11.[1][2] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.lehighvalleylive.com/news/2019/02/bieber-bus-company-hits-the-brakes-ending-72-year-run-serving-lehigh-valley-region.html|title=Bieber bus company hits the brakes, ending 72-year run serving Lehigh Valley region|first=Kurt|last=Bresswein|website=lehighvalleylive.com|date=February 9, 2019|accessdate=February 13, 2019}} {{NYC surface transit}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.wfmz.com/news/berks/klein-transportation-and-ourbus-announce-introductory-schedule-and-rates/1010024952|title=Klein Transportation and OurBus announce introductory schedule and rates|date=February 10, 2019|publisher=WFMZ-TV|location=Allentown, PA|accessdate=February 10, 2019}} 3. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.kleintransportation.com|title=Home|publisher=Klein Transportation|accessdate=February 13, 2019}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.kleintransportation.com/casino-trips/|title=Casino Departure Schedule|publisher=Klein Transportation|accessdate=February 13, 2019}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.kleintransportation.com/about-us/history.aspx|title=Our History|publisher=Klein Transportation|accessdate=February 13, 2019}} 4 : Intercity bus companies of the United States|Companies based in Berks County, Pennsylvania|American companies established in 1957|Transport companies established in 1957 |
