SPRINGFIELD -- Greyhound said Monday it plans to operate from Springfield's Union Station with its own Springfield-to-Boston bus service by the fall.

Both Greyhound and Peter Pan Bus Lines announced Monday that they are ending their 19-year partnership on Sept. 27.

Peter Pan and Greyhound used the agreement to coordinate routes and to sell tickets to each other's buses.

For the time being, Greyhound said it is still selling tickets on Peter Pan, but only for trips before Sept. 27.

Greyhound already services the nearby communities of Worcester, Northampton, Greenfield, Pittsfield, Amherst and Hartford, Connecticut, said Lanesha Gipson, senior communications specialist for Texas-based Greyhound Lines Inc., in an email Monday.

She said Greyhound has ordered 60 new buses that will operate in the Northeast.

Springfield-based Peter Pan plans to move into Union Station after Labor Day.

Both Greyhound and Peter Pan said the split allows them to offer paperless ticketing. Greyhound e-ticketing is coming soon.

Peter Pan offers paperless ticketing now at certain locations.
