A no-frills bus company will take passengers between Christiansburg, Knoxville, Tenn., and Washington, D.C., for as little as $1 a trip.

Megabus will stop in the New River Valley at Exit 118A off Interstate 81. That's 25 miles south of the I-81 and I-581 interchange in the Roanoke Valley and on the Smart Way bus route, which connects the New River and Roanoke valleys.

Megabus says service will start Dec. 15 with 56-seat buses making three daily trips from the area to Knoxville and Washington. If ridership increases sufficiently, Megabus plans to use an 81-passenger double-decker bus.

It's not going through Lynchburg, but still, that is really cheap travel. I was looking at a trip from Knoxville to Christiansburg for my brother, and round-trip would be about $6. Maybe Lynchburg city council and LU can give these guys a call to make a stop out this way.

Sadly, almost nothing goes through Lynchburg anymore.

Interstates would be the reason for that...


I've taken the Megabus before, as well as Boltbus....great way to go to NYC from DC for little to nothing with wifi and a lot of other cool things..
