History
The P&B was established in 1888 as a trolley company in Plymouth and Kingston, Massachusetts. At its height, trolleys operated as far as Pembroke and Sagamore Beach. The company operated trolleys up until 1928, when they switched to solely operating buses in and around the South Shore.[1]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the company suspended all service from March 24, 2020,[2] until May 14, 2021.[3] The company received a federal Paycheck Protection Program loan.[4]
Operations
P&B operates two routes: Hyannis–Boston and Woods Hole–Boston. Most trips on both routes serve both South Station Bus Terminal and Logan International Airport. Not all trips serve all stops on a given route.[5]
