Swarthout Coaches

Swarthout Coaches, Inc. began its journey in 1950 as Swarthout & Ferris, a partnership between Robert Swarthout and Spencer Ferris. Beginning as a Texaco gas station and school bus service in the Fall Creek area of Ithaca, NY, the company quickly expanded its offerings. Over the years, the gas station was discontinued, and the company moved to its current location at 115 Graham Road, where it continued to improve its school bus and charter bus operations. In 1974, the company discontinued the school bus operations and concentrated solely on charters. In 1979, Rob Swarthout joined the company, learning all aspects of the business. By 1987, Spencer Ferris retired, and Rob Swarthout became the sole owner of the bus company.

In the early 1980s, the company began operating tours in addition to charter services. Today, Swarthout Coaches, Inc. operates a fleet of twelve coaches that provide tour and charter services for the central New York area. The company prides itself on its state-of-the-art amenities, customer satisfaction, and low rates. As a locally owned and operated business, Swarthout Coaches remains committed toits mission of providing safe and relaxing trips for its customers.
