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 Lane Stadium’s south side parking lot (Lot 2) sidewalk – facing Southgate Drive (between Beamer Way and Sterrett Drive).

Students should plan to arrive 10 minutes before scheduled boarding times.


Long Island – We hope to plan to bring the Long Island destination back to servicing Virginia Tech in the Fall of 2024 as opposed to Long Island students using the Teterboro, NJ destination.
