**Asheville, N.C. (October 26, 2023)** – Greyhound bus service has officially resumed operations in Asheville, marking a significant milestone in restoring transportation access to Western North Carolina following a 10-month suspension due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and Greyhound announced the relaunch, highlighting its importance for residents and visitors alike.
Passengers can now catch Greyhound buses from a new downtown location on Asheland Avenue. In addition to the new location, Greyhound is introducing revamped pick-up times, with routes operating at 8:00 a.m. and 9:35 a.m. daily. These routes will provide direct, daily connections to major regional hubs including:
* Charlotte, NC

* And more (with connections to out-of-state destinations)
“I’ve heard a lot of people complaining that it wasn’t here. But yeah, there’s excitement about it,” said rider Jonathan Lunsford, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for the service’s return.
The NCDOT emphasized the importance of Greyhound’s return, ensuring reliable and affordable transportation options for residents and connecting Asheville to a wider network of destinations.
