Sometime in the early 1950s, Hobe Thompson, a local sheep farmer in Philipsburg, PA, had a new idea. He decided to purchase two school buses to provide all students in the area transportation to and from school. Back then, there were far fewer students and only one school in North Philipsburg. He and his wife, Vera, proudly provided the service for several years.
Hobe and Vera had a daughter, Shirley Thompson, who married Ed Long. In 1966, Ed and Shirley purchased Hobe and Vera’s school buses and decided to make a real business out of the operation. Long Motor Buses Inc. became an official corporation that year.
Ed ran the business while Shirley diligently worked in the office to manage the employees and finances. They ran Long Motor Buses out of a garage in North Philipsburg (which still stands in all its bright-blue glory). School buses were provided for West Branch, and mechanics were hired to work on fleet and customer vehicles.
In 1995, Shirley and Ed began supplying school buses for the State College after acquiring a small plot of land. Shortly after, they found a need for a little more land in State College and purchased the current garage location at 129 Hawbaker Industrial Drive.
