Tickets & Reservations
It's easy to buy tickets online with a credit card, then pick them up (bring photo ID) at the
terminal. You can also buy tickets over the phone or in person from a ticket agent. Grey-
hound terminal ticket agents also accept debit cards, traveler's checks (in US dollars) and
cash.
Most boarding is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Buying tickets in advance does
not guarantee you a seat on any particular bus unless you also purchase priority boarding
(fee $5), available only at some terminals. Otherwise, arrive at least one hour before the
scheduled departure to secure a seat; allow extra time on weekends and around holidays.
Travelers with disabilities who need special assistance should call 800-752-4841 (TDD/
TTY 800-345-3109) at least 48 hours before traveling. Wheelchairs are accepted as
checked baggage (or carry-on, if space allows) and service animals are allowed on board.
