Intercity Bus Service Returns to Tysons

10-year transit desert for intercity bus travel, but is Tysons ready?

The first FlixBus stop in Fairfax County launched April 16 at Gosnell Road and Leesburg Pike, establishing a new regional hub in Tysons. The location connects local travelers to Richmond, Baltimore, and New York City, while serving as a gateway to Dulles International Airport via the Greensboro Metro station, located two blocks from the stop.

The Tysons hub offers five daily coach departures. Two southbound trips to Richmond stop at Main Street Station and the Parham Road Park & Ride in Henrico County. Southbound buses typically depart at 11:15 a.m. and again in the afternoon, while three daily northbound trips serve Bethesda, Md., and New York City, with additional inbound service to Washington.

All routes operate from the Gosnell Road and Leesburg Pike curb and may be listed under the FlixBus or Greyhound brands. FlixBus purchased Greyhound in 2021. Tickets include free Wi-Fi and power outlets; however, travelers should note that only ADA-recognized service animals are allowed on board.

The stop has raised local concerns regarding vehicles idling and sidewalk congestion on the narrow stretch of Gosnell Road.
