Intercity Bus Service Resumes August 1st

The intercity bus service that provides direct transpiration to downtown Asheville from surrounding communities will resume August 1st. This service was suspended in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.  

Beginning Aug. 1, Greyhound will pick up and drop off passengers on Ashland Avenue outside of the downtown Asheville Rides Transit (ART) Transit Station. The new arrangement is the result of months of coordination with the NCDOT’s Integrated Mobility Division and Asheville. NCDOT contracts with Greyhound to provide this service.  

“The city is excited to welcome Greyhound back to Asheville and to have them connect directly to our downtown Transit Center,” said Christopher Whitlock, Asheville’s Transit Division manager. “After Tropical Storm Helene disrupted Greyhound service, restoring this connection is an important step in returning regional mobility and providing our community with diverse travel options.” 

Travelers will have access to daily direct service between Asheville and Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Chapel Hill and Raleigh. They can also connect easily out-of-state destinations on the national intercity bus network, including Richmond and Norfolk Virginia; Washington, D.C.; New York; Atlanta; and Greenville, South Carolina. From these locations, travelers can easily connect to major cities like Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, or Chicago.
