The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation is adding its first east-west line to the state-run service meant to connect underserved rural areas.
The new route for Virginia Breeze Bus Lines will run from Virginia Beach to Harrisonburg, the agency said in an announcement Tuesday.
The 235-mile trip will take about six-and-a-half hours one way and run 365 days a year, with stops in places like Charlottesville, Richmond and Williamsburg, among others.
The cross-state bus line won’t start until 2025 and the department couldn’t say what a ticket would cost.
This is the first line on the Virginia Breeze’s schedule to connect to Hampton Roads.
Four existing routes run from cities in southwest Virginia up to Washington D.C.
