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.

Our bus and driver were great Our bus and driver were great! Our trip took us on some out of the way places and our driver handled it like a champ and I think he learned a bit as well. Thank you Northwest CT Draft Horse Association Inc.

Very professional and efficient Great experience with Kelley Transit. Our company manages multiple events around the country and therefore we book motor coaches on a regular basis. The experience with Kelley Transit has been positive from start to finish. Quick to provide estimates and answer questions, competitive pricing, organized and efficient contracting process and nice vehicles. I couldn't ask for more. I've already booked another charter with them in May.

I wasn't on the bus but asked for… I wasn't on the bus but asked for feedback. Over all the experience was good. The drivers were awesome. Only problem was the WiFi didn't work and they had to make many bathroom stops, due to the fact that the bus bathroom was for urination only...

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.
