Van Galder Bus Company, legally Sam Van Galder, Inc. is a subsidiary of Coach USA, based in the city of Janesville in southern Wisconsin, about 75 miles west of Milwaukee. It had been a family business for over fifty years, until it was taken over in 1999 by the Stagecoach Group, who retained "Stephen Van Galder" as president, under the Coach USA banner. They operate school buses, coach charters, excursions, daily airport transfers and a regular service to downtown Chicago.

The corridor served by Van Galder's regularly scheduled service is from Madison through Janesville, South Beloit and Rockford to O'Hare Airport and Chicago. [ [http://www.coachusa.com/CoachUsaAssets/files/103/MadisonSchedule20080915.pdf Van Galder, Madison Schedule] ]
