Greyhound buses now board at the Augusta Transit Center, 1546 Broad St., under a five-year lease. Where to buy tickets, what runs to Atlanta and how to connect.

Greyhound buses now leave from the same Broad Street building as Augusta Transit’s city buses. The city announced the move Monday.

The Augusta Commission approved a five-year lease on Aug. 4. It lets FLIX, Greyhound’s parent company, operate from the Transit Transfer Facility at 1546 Broad St. That is according to the city’s Oct. 5 announcement.

What is at the transit center

Greyhound has taken over the space Southeastern Stages used to occupy. The city said that space includes:

  • a customer service and ticketing counter
  • a boarding bay
  • a baggage storage area

The lease also brings Augusta Transit rent from the space. The city did not give the amount in its announcement.

“This partnership gives residents and visitors another convenient transportation option while making better use of our existing transit facility,” Augusta Transit Director Sharon Dottery said.

What runs from Augusta

Greyhound’s own Augusta to Atlanta page lists the stop as 1546 Broad St., at the City of Augusta Transit Center. On Tuesday it showed:

Route What Greyhound lists
Augusta to Atlanta 4 buses a day
First bus 10:30 a.m.
Last bus 6:40 p.m.
Shortest trip 2 hours, 40 minutes

The same page names other trips from Augusta, including Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; Richmond, Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and New York. Schedules and fares change, so check Greyhound before you travel.

What it means for you

  • Buy tickets and check times on Greyhound’s site or at the counter inside the transit center at 1546 Broad St.
  • Catch a city bus to the coach. Augusta Transit routes already run from the same building, so you can ride a local bus to your Greyhound departure. Route maps are on AugustaGa.gov/Transit.
  • Parking and getting downtown. Our getting around Augusta guide covers parking, transit and the airport.
