Thruway Motorcoach is Amtrak's system of Amtrak-owned intercity coaches, locally contracted transit buses, through ticketed local bus routes and Taxi services to connect Amtrak Train Station s to areas not served by its Railroad s. Train and Thruway Motorcoach tickets are purchased together from Amtrak for the length of a passenger's journey, and the connections are timed for convenient transfers between the two services. In addition to providing connecting service to unserved areas, some Thruway Motorcoaches operate as redundant service along well-established passenger rail corridors to add extra capacity. By law, passengers may only travel on Amtrak's network of Thruway Motorcoaches when connecting to or from an Amtrak train, a restriction intended to prevent government-subsidized competition with Greyhound Bus Lines and other private bus companies. California has the most extensive network of Thruway Motorcoaches in the nation. THRUWAY MOTORCOACH ROUTES Northeast
