Founded in 1992 by a Virginia college student needing to get home to New York for Thanksgiving, CollegeTransit has met the travel needs of thousands of students.

Our premium service allows you to travel directly from the Virginia Tech campus to one of a number of strategic drop-off points.

“We love using CollegeTransit from Virginia Tech to return home to NJ. I am happy to have my sleep deprived student on a big comfy bus, mostly sleeping, and not being frustrated by the traffic jams on 81! Pick up in PA or NJ is easy!” Virginia Tech parent from Central New Jersey

Meet the bus at Virginia Tech’s new transit center, near Perry Street Lot 3 at Goodwin Hall

Students should plan to arrive 10 minutes before scheduled boarding times at the new Transit Center.
