The Augusta Commission approved a five-year lease on August 4, 2026, allowing FLIX/Greyhound to operate from the local transit hub. This partnership centralizes regional bus services at the city's primary transfer point.
Why it matters
The deal aims to improve connectivity by consolidating local and interstate bus operations at one accessible site. By partnering with FLIX, the city provides residents and visitors with a unified hub for travel.
The agreement covers the use of the Transit Transfer Facility located at 1546 Broad Street. This site replaces previous bus operations formerly conducted by Southeastern Stages.
