Express Arrow was founded in 1928 by Carl Busskohl as Arrow Stage Lines, originally delivering bread and mail, and quickly evolving to operate various bus routes from Norfolk, Nebraska.[1] In 1991, the company was absorbed by Black Hills Stage Lines, which had itself begun operations in 1962 with a route between Rapid City, South Dakota and O'Neill, Nebraska. Between 1994 and 1998, Black Hills Stage Lines was a member of the Trailways Transportation System, and known as Black Hills Trailways.[2] In 2005, Arrow Stage Lines expanded into Arizona with the purchase of Corporate Transportation & Tours.[3] In 2016, Black Hills Stage Lines rebranded as Express Arrow, with upgraded buses and a new website.[4] In April 2019, Express Arrow expanded service from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Billings, Montana two days per week.[5] Luke Busskohl became the fourth genertion CEO in 2020, guiding the family-owned business through the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
