 Trailways of New York: Eugene J. Berardi, Jr., CEO & President
Adirondack Trailways continued to operate steadily after World War II as the New York State Thruway and major urban transportation hubs - including the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City - facilitated the growing demand for interstate bus service in the region.
Reorganized under the name New York Trailways, service was resumed along the primary Albany-Buffalo corridor once substantial improvements were made to the fleet and operating structure.
Two years later, Adirondack Trailways also benefited from an extension of its operating area, when regularly scheduled service was extended north to Montreal.
