Originally running from Billings to Helena via White Sulphur Springs, the company has evolved with the times. In 2004, Greyhound consolidated routes nationwide, incorporating Rimrock's 17 coaches and 42 employees. Rimrock now serves as part of a State and National Network, offering various routes across Montana and interlining with other carriers. The company focuses on providing a comfortable and eco-friendly travel experience, catering to passengers who can't drive and offering access to remote locations. By supporting motorcoach transportation, you contribute to a greener future. With over 68,000 rides in 2009, Rimrock continues to be a vital link for travelers in Montana and beyond.
