Intercity bus carrier connects Charlottesville to growing Northeast Corridor network 

New York, NY. (April 6, 2023). FlixBus, North America's fastest-growing intercity bus service, is beginning service to Charlottesville, Virginia, for the first time in the company’s history with the launch of a new line between C-Ville and New York City beginning on April 6, 2023.  

Charlottesville is the newest stop on the FlixBus network, and now offers a direct, zero transfer route to New York City running 7 days per week with one trip in each direction daily. NYC-bound trips will depart Charlottesville at 8:30 a.m. with stops in Richmond, DC Union Station, Baltimore and arriving at NYC Midtown (31st Street and 8th Avenue) by 8:10 p.m. 

Charlottesville-bound trips will depart NYC Midtown at 12:00 p.m. daily with stops in Baltimore, DC Union Station and Richmond before finally arriving in Charlottesville by 4:40 p.m.  Tickets start as low as $29.99 for C-Ville-NYC trips, and shorter distances like Charlottesville-DC Union Station start as low as $21.99. All FlixBus trips will run out of the Charlottesville Amtrak station at 810 W Main Street. 

In conjunction with its partner brand Greyhound, customers can now book travel with FlixBus and Greyhound on either brands’ websites and apps and benefit from an extended network reaching more than 2,300 destinations across North America.  

Tickets are now available at FlixBus.com, Greyhound.com or through the Greyhound or FlixBus apps and follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. 

Save money and carbon emissions with intercity buses 

In addition to providing convenient, affordable bus service throughout the United States and Canada, FlixBus and Greyhound riders can reduce their environmental impact through optional carbon offset credits:  

  • FlixBus has collaborated with atmosfair to offer customers the option to travel climate friendly on their FlixBus or Greyhound journey. Customers can purchase “CO2 Compensation” tickets during booking, thereby making a voluntary environmental contribution.  

  • The optional cost of traveling green will be added to customers' ticket prices, approximately 1-3% of the original ticket price. 

  • 75% of climate contribution donations in the United States and Canada are invested in atmosfair’s UN-accredited Gold Standard Climate Protection Project Cleaner Cook Stoves in Rwanda. 

  • The remaining 25% flows into the “Future of Mobility Fund”, set up together by Flix and atmosfair, to drive sustainable mobility and decarbonization in the cities and communities where we operate. These donations help to take emerging carbon-neutral technologies out of the lab and onto the road for real impact. Customers will also support local communities, NGOs and volunteer groups to make eco-friendly living choices accessible to everyone.
