About Kelley Transit Company

The origins of the company date back to 1860, when Irish immigrant Edward Kelley started a part-time hauling business in Connecticut. Well before the age of the automobile (or truck or bus), the hauling was done by horses. Kelley’s horses were also supplied to the Torrington Fire Department. Trucks eventually replaced the horses, and over the years the company branched out to three divisions—coal/fuel, livery and busing. Three generations of the Kelley family owned and operated the business, and the trucking and fuel/coal divisions eventually were dissolved. The family focused its attention on the remaining division--passenger transportation. In 2005, after 145 years of continuous operation, the Kelley family sold the business to John and Corinne Nason. John Nason has 30 years in the passenger transportation business, with extensive experience with transit contracts, paratransit operations, and transit project start-ups around the country. Today, although the company continues to proudly operate from Torrington, Connecticut, our service extends well beyond our area. We can take you anywhere within the U.S. or Canada. Our focus is on you, the customer, whether you’re a large company, a public entity, or an individual. Our professional, friendly, knowledgeable staff can assist you in planning your travel needs from start to finish.

Kelley Transit has become like family with the care the took helping us get to our family reunion! Kelley transit has provided us exceptional service from booking, rates, payments for our family reunion for the last 2 years. The team has become like family to all 45 of us traveling south with the great service we have received. Our drivers have been great safely getting us to our destination with a comfortable ride. I highly recommend Kelley to all they have made doing business with a huge group an ease. Thank you Kelley Transit from the Jernigan Family!!

Kelley Transit has always been pretty good! Kelley Transit has always been pretty good to our robotics team. They are priced right for our robotics team. Our biggest complaint is that the WIFI has never worked on our 3 trips that we took this competition season. This was first time being offered WIFI and were excited but disappointed each time. I stopped complaining this last trip. The interior of the bus (mainly the seat headrests are starting to deteriorate at back of the bus). It is time to either upgrade the seats, have reliable WIFI or get another bus. Our Driver for the second leg of the trip (after driver swap) was fantastic and would recommend MOMO (his nickname) to everyone. He worked with us very well within DOT guideline hours and was very accommodating. Don't get me wrong Kelley is a good company but needs to improve it's buses to compete with other companies out there.

Our bus broke down and we were stranded… Our bus broke down and we were stranded for 4 hours at a rest stop. The driver told us they were sending a mechanic and another us and that we would leave when the first one showed up. This was not the case. We had to wait well past the time the driver initially told us was the latest we would leave which caused significant problems for our group communicating with parents of our student passengers. Additionally, the DVD player wasn't working.
