Coach USA (Van Galder) Buses

[transitman]

Does anyone have any frequency information for the buses used by Coach USA (Van Galder) based in Janesville and operating from Madison to Chicago Airpots?

I have 451.6375 from a CloseCall hit, but there may be more.

I was told at one time that Van Galder used Bandt Communications out of Janesville, an LTR Standard system ( http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=1991 ). This frequency is one of those used. The drivers have complained in the past that they can't get out real well when on the opposite ends of the route. Perhaps they now have additional subscription services?

Over the weekend I heard a couple of Van Galder bus operators on 451.9875 (Bandt Communications, Janesville site). The TG was 1-05-025. It would be helpful to know if they use other UHF sites inbound toward Chicago!

Val Galder Update

I know that this is an 11-year-old thread, but Van Galder Bus is currently using talkgroup 3551 on the Diga-Talk NXDN trunked system https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=5883 . They have also been heard using 451.6375(D023) for simplex bus-to-bus comms.
