    Longest non-stop bus route

    This might be hard to find, but what is the longest non-stop bus route in the US? I'd have to believe its no more than 4 hours or so, but I'm sure in some remote areas it could be longer.

    Conductor/Engineer duty time limits

    Same Day Round Trip Montreal-Toronto
