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.

We was on vacation with my father We was on vacation with my father. As we are tourists we've asked the driver to remind us once we came to our bus stop. Unfortunately, he forgot to do that and we've missed a lot of time and money to get back:( Of course, it was a favour, but.. please be more attentive...

The bus had a weak battery which had to… The bus had a weak battery which had to be known before sending the bus to pick us up. There was smoke coming from the vents in between the windows. The bus driver was late picking us back up. There was a leak in the roof of the bus which caused water to seep into the cabin. The bus battery died while at a rest stop which caused us to be stuck there for 3-4 hours until the issue was resolved which in turn caused me to miss work. The overall experience was horrible. I would never book a charter with them ever again!!!
