About C&J Bus Lines

C&J is a family-run bus carrier that provides first-class travel across the Northeast region of the United States. C&J is happy to take the hassle out of navigating traffic or finding parking while bringing travelers to 5 cities across New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.

Established in 1968 by Joe and Bertha Jalbert, C&J Travel Inc. originally only featured six daily trips to Logan Airport in Boston and operated out of a small garage space in New Hampshire. The company quickly grew, expanding its locations and taking on the new name of C&J Bus Lines. Now with 252 daily trips, C&J is known across the Northeast for providing reliable, affordable transportation.

With outlets at every seat, free Wi-Fi, extra legroom, and clean restrooms available on all coaches, it's no wonder the C&J bus service won the 2022 Wanderu Passengers' Choice Award for Best Quality Vehicles and was honored as one of the best ground travel providers in New England.

On top of these comfortable amenities, the C&J bus fleet is green-certified. All coaches have the technology to reduce polluting particulate emissions by 90%. High-efficiency tires help maximize fuel economy, and C&J is the only bus carrier to meet the EPA's near-zero NOx emissions requirements. In fact, their coaches emit the least amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) per passenger compared to any other kind of transportation vehicle.

C&J has been an official Wanderu partner since 2016, so you can find the best bargains and deals C&J has to offer right here. Find the cheapest bus tickets across the Northeast with Wanderu, and ride comfortably with C&J Bus Lines.

Portsmouth to Boston

The bus was clean and spacious. The staff helped me with my bags and helped me to know which terminal I would be in. It was a safe trip to the airport I would consider again if I was in the area.

Boston to Seabrook

Just be prepared for snow and ice covering your car. No fault of company. Unfortunate for me I wasn't prepared for the storm. No heavy coat or gloves. Glad I didn't still have my flip flops on. LOL
