FAIRLESS HILLS, PA — After an announcement almost a year ago, a major charter bus company has relocated to Bucks County.
Starr Bus Charter held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday for its new facility and headquarters.
"For three generations, Starr has been bringing people together on the road, and this milestone is one more step in that journey," the company said in also thanking the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce.
The 78-year-old travel company relocated to its new headquarters at 394 Lincoln Hwy., bringing 100 full-time and part-time employees and 30-bus fleet to Bucks County.
The company spent over $1 million to convert a former used car dealership and auto shop into their new 22,000-square-foot headquarters.
Starr Bus Charter & Tours provides bus charter service throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and New York, according to its website.
That service includes 1-to 27-day motorcoach vacations to several destinations, including Lancaster, Washington, D.C., Niagara Falls and Charleston, South Carolina, as well as air travel and cruise trip packages.
In addition to its namesake Starr Bus Charter and Starr Tours companies, Starr also owns Eyre Tours based in Maryland, and College Break Bus, which transports college students to and from certain schools in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Southeast during their breaks, according to its website.
Starr has been based in Hamilton, N.J., since it was founded in 1947 by Borowsky's grandfather, Gilbert Sussman. She and her husband Pete Borowsky are now the third-generation owners of the travel company.
