Quick answer

There Is More Than One Martz Bus Schedule

Martz operates multiple schedules by origin, destination, day of week and service type. A traveler going from Scranton to New York will not use the same timetable as someone traveling from Philadelphia to Wilkes-Barre or Panther Valley to New York.

1. Choose origin Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Mt. Pocono, Stroudsburg, Panther Valley, Allentown or another Martz stop.
2. Choose destination New York, Philadelphia, another Pennsylvania stop, or another destination available in the booking engine.
3. Choose travel day Weekday, Saturday, Sunday and holiday schedules can differ.
4. Reserve the actual trip Your ticket ties you to a selected date, schedule and boarding location.
Do not rely on an old PDF or screenshot. Martz updates schedules and can publish holiday modifications, extra trips or cancellations. Always compare the timetable with the current booking engine and service notices.
