Lehigh Valley Charter Bus & Group Transportation

Roads and typical routes

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Northeast Extension (I-476) connects the valley with Philadelphia's suburbs. I-78 and US-22 run east to west across it, Route 33 links Bethlehem and Easton with I-80 and the Poconos, and Route 309 heads south toward Quakertown and the Philadelphia suburbs. Allentown is about 60 miles from Center City and Easton about 70, typically an hour and a quarter to two hours depending on traffic. Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) is in the middle of the valley.

Typical Lehigh Valley group trips

Choosing a vehicle in Lehigh Valley

Sprinter vans carry 10 to 14 passengers and suit dinners, wedding parties, and executive trips. Party buses are built for proms, birthdays, and bachelor or bachelorette nights. Minibuses handle 20 to 35 guests, and 56-passenger motorcoaches carry schools, teams, churches, and companies with luggage space underneath. See the full fleet, or tell us your headcount and stops and we will recommend the right size.

Planning a Lehigh Valley trip

Longer trips from Philadelphia mean planning driver time for the whole day, including waiting time and the return leg; we include that in the quote up front. Festival weekends and big events fill downtown streets, so tell us your event and arrival time.

When to book and what sells out

Musikfest in Bethlehem each August is the valley's biggest event and fills hotels and streets for ten days. Christmas City season in Bethlehem, including Christkindlmarkt, draws holiday tour groups from November through December. Spring brings commencements at the valley's colleges and proms for local high schools, and fall brings the Lafayette–Lehigh game and foliage trips north toward the Poconos. Dorney Park in Allentown is a summer favorite for camps and youth groups. Share your event dates early so we can plan vehicles and timing.

Getting around the valley

The three cities sit close together: Allentown to Bethlehem is about six miles, and Bethlehem to Easton about 12, mostly along US-22 or local roads. That makes multi-stop itineraries easy, such as a SteelStacks concert after dinner in Allentown, or a brewery crawl across all three downtowns. For corporate groups flying into ABE, we run airport transfers to hotels and offices across the valley.
