Only Burlington to Montreal and Newport to Montreal routes are operated by Greyhound and are not running. Amtrak and other bus lines cover gaps, with Trailways carrying Vermont Transit customers between Albany Springfield and New York. Amtrak will honor Greyhound tickets at no extra charge for coach travel.
