Mountain Line’s Grey Line Adds Comfort, Convenience to Service

Morgantown, WV- With the Morgantown Airport’s United Air Express shuttle service to Pittburgh closing operations on May 14, 2006 and the gas prices near record highs, Mountain Line is proud to offer a cost effective, comfortable alternative for travelers to Pittburgh.

On May 11, 2006 at 9:30 a.m., Mountain Line will introduce the latest addition to our Grey Line daily shuttle service: roomier coach-style buses that offer additional seating, cargo space and other amenities.  The new buses allow Mountain Line to offer an economy class seating with each plush seats that have its own air and light control.  Free internet access and carry-on overhead storage will be available to all passengers. 

Business class will feature the same amenities as economy class, except the seats will recline and they have seatback pouches and drop-down trays, and each seat has its own power port connection for your computer or other electronic equipment. 

Starting May 12, 2006, we will also be offering pre-arranged bag lunches and non-alcoholic beverages for a nominal fee. Passengers will have the option to select from a lunch menu when they make their reservations online. 

The Grey Line has been in operation since October 31, 2005.  The bus operates 365 days per year.  It travels from Clarksburg, Fairmont and Morgantown up to the Pittsburgh Greyhound and Pittsburgh International Airport each day.  At Pittsburgh Airport, the Grey Line boards and alights at the ground-side terminal at Gate 8, at the luggage pick-up area. 

A complete copy of the schedule is located on the Mountain Line web site at www.busride.org, and passengers can make advance reservations (recommended) there as well.
