TODAY'S SOUTHEAST INTERURBAN CONNECTIONS

Most of these interurban connections are in Florida. Florida enjoyed large population growths after World War II, resulting in many newer bus systems, where electric railways never before existed. As a result, some longer interurban journeys by bus are now possible, which were not possible in the days of electric railways.

In addition, a few transit systems interconnect in the tri-state area in northeast West Virginia.
