Keene And Peterborough To Get New Bus Service Through Nashua, Lowell, And Boston

NASHUA, NH — Greyhound said it will begin intercity bus service linking Keene and Peterborough with Nashua, Lowell and Boston on Nov. 17, adding two daily round trips along the new route.

The service is launching in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation, the city of Keene and the town of Peterborough. The launch marks the first time Greyhound will serve Peterborough, the company said. Greyhound said the route is intended to expand transportation options across southwest New Hampshire and give residents a direct way to travel to Nashua, Lowell, and Boston. The company also said the corridor will connect communities with jobs, healthcare, universities, airports and rail connections in Greater Boston, as well as destinations across the Greyhound and FlixBus network.

"This new service is about connecting communities to opportunity," Kai Boysan, CEO of Flix North America, Greyhound's parent company, said. "Intercity bus service plays a vital role in expanding travel options and access for communities of all sizes. With the launch of this route in New Hampshire, we're making it easier for residents to connect to jobs, education, healthcare, and destinations throughout the region and beyond. We appreciate the partnership of NH DOT, the city of Keene and the town of Peterborough in bringing the convenience of intercity bus travel to their communities."

NH DOT Deputy Commissioner Shelley Winters said the new service adds flexibility for travelers in southwestern New Hampshire.

"Expanding transportation options is an important part of connecting New Hampshire communities and supporting our residents," Winters said. "This new service provides greater flexibility for travelers in southwestern New Hampshire, and we're pleased to partner with Greyhound and our local communities to make these connections possible."

Keene City Manager Elizabeth Ferland said the route supports priorities in the city's Comprehensive Master Plan and creates another option for people traveling without a car.

"This new service provides important connectivity to and from the Monadnock region and helps us address some key priorities of our Comprehensive Master Plan," Ferland said. "It opens opportunities that were simply out of reach without a car, and it helps Keene continue to grow as a vital regional hub. We are happy to welcome Greyhound to Keene, we encourage the community to use it often, we thank NH DOT for supporting the new service with grant funds, and we are very grateful to the Town of Peterborough and the Southwest Region Planning Commission for working with us to help make this possible."

According to Greyhound, stops on the route will be at 67 Main St. in Keene, 48 Grove St. in Peterborough, 3 N Southwood Drive in Nashua, 115 Thorndike St. in Lowell, and 700 Atlantic Ave. in Boston.
