INTERSTATE BUSES
COVER MANY MILES
Three New Branches Increase Daily Mileage to More Than 1,400
With inauguration of service on three new lines recently, buses of the Interstate Transportation company travel more than 1,400 miles daily in North Dakota, according to J. G. Belanger, president of the firm.
Service was started on two lines this week—from Minot to Williston, 138 miles each way, and from Minot to Portal, 68 miles each way. Early this month service from Bismarck to Beach, 167 miles each way, was inaugurated.
Lines previously operated are those from Bismarck to Minot, 120 miles, and Bismarck to Fargo, 208 miles.
At Beach, Interstate buses connect with buses of the Auto Interurban company of Spokane, Wash. At Fargo they connect with the Greyhound lines. These connections give Bismarck transcontinental bus service each way daily.
Connections with South Dakota are made at Jamestown with buses of the Swanson Bus Line company, which travel southward to Aberdeen.
The Interstate company has 14 passenger, express and freight bus units, Belanger said, including two 30-passenger Mack buses put into service this month. The company employs about 50 men, including 28 drivers and a score of station employees.
Headquarters of the company have been in Bismarck since the firm's organization.
