Sept 27, 2021 - The new OurBus route connects four locations in Ontario (Niagara Falls, Mississauga, Toronto, and Scarborough) with a final stop at Buffalo Airport. OurBus service from Buffalo Airport allows riders to continue their trips to western New York state (Rochester, Geneva, Ithaca, Binghamton); Fort Lee, New Jersey; and New York City as the final stop.[13]

Oct 15, 2021 - OurBus has started a new bus service connecting New York City to Albany and key points in the Hudson Valley, including New Paltz and Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets. The digital intercity travel company doesn’t actually own its fleet of buses, it acts as a technology platform that creates a network of services by sourcing available independent charter buses that are often used by schools or churches.
