From Roanoke, is there public transportation to Washington, D.C.?
If so, what is the frequency?
If not, do you know if the situation will be changing and if so, when?
Hi Cathe,
While there is no public transport to DC from Roanoke, we do have a bus station with long distance bus service from Abbott and I know there are taxis that will make the trip but I do not know the cost off the top of my head. If you’re interested I can contact the bus station and taxis to find out costs.
This is a wonderful post Marty…
