About Doherty’s

Doherty’s, Lincoln’s oldest business, was founded in 1905 by Matthew Doherty as a horse and buggy taxi service. Over the past 120 years, Doherty’s has evolved alongside the communities we serve. We transitioned from horse-drawn carriages to the internal combustion engine in 1912, and today we use electric powertrains for over half of our school bus fleet. Now in our second century of service, Doherty’s remains locally owned and deeply committed to the communities we serve.

What Our Happy Customers Say

“Ordering a bus is such a small part of my day, but it is so important to the kids and teachers if it doesn’t come! It is one reason I love using Doherty’s – you never let me down! So thanks again on many levels!”
— Sydney

“Many of our Waltham families expressed a desire to have me relay their collective gratitude. The bus truly allows student participation and is the cornerstone of the program.”
— Kimberly

“You have never ‘failed us’ for 19 years. Neither snow nor ice, rain nor hail, vacation or holidays have ever prevented a rubbish day/recycling pick-up….You’re Lincoln’s finest & we thank you!”
— Jezae

“Thank you for the excellent rubbish service. It was a great help to have the pick up at my mom’s house. The house is now sold – we’ll certainly recommend they consider Doherty’s”
— Mary
