Around twenty-two hours on the road with Greyhound, give or take. The fastest Houston to Atlanta runs come in closer to sixteen hours, while a typical trip is more like twenty-one or twenty-two. It is a long haul, but a comfortable and budget-friendly way to travel between two of the South's biggest cities, and everything you need to plan the journey is right here.

Getting to your departure stop in Houston

Houston has several departure points, so pick the one that works best for where you are in the city. Full addresses for each stop are listed on this page.

• North Houston (Tidwell Transit Center), served directly by bus run by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, with the Tidwell Transit Center stop right at the station.
• Houston (Agencia Autobuses), on SW Freeway, with a bus stop on Hillcroft Ave at Southwest Freeway served by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County a short distance away.
• Downtown Houston (Gray St.), on Gray St, steps from a bus stop at Gray St and Smith St run by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County.
• Houston Bus Station (Greyhound), on Harrisburg Blvd, close to the Magnolia Park Transit Center served by the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County.

Taxi and rideshare are a practical choice if you are travelling with heavy bags and want a direct door-to-door connection to any of these stops.

Arriving in Atlanta

Atlanta has three drop-off points, and the one you arrive at will depend on which service you book.

• Atlanta Downtown (Civic Center), on W Peachtree St NW, with a bus stop at Civic Center Station run by Xpress right outside, and light rail run by the Atlanta Streetcar reachable at Carnegie at Spring a short walk away.
• Atlanta Airport, at the airport terminal, with a bus stop at Airport Station run by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority immediately on site. If you are continuing your journey or meeting someone flying in, this stop puts you right in the airport area.
• Atlanta Bus Station, on Forsyth St, close to the Garnett Station bus stop run by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.

Getting around Atlanta

Light rail is a useful way to move around central Atlanta. The Atlanta Streetcar connects parts of downtown and is handy for reaching hotels, attractions, and restaurants in the core of the city without needing a car.

Local buses run by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority extend further across the city and are a practical way to reach neighbourhoods beyond the streetcar's reach.

For trips where transit does not take you door to door, taxi or rideshare can fill the gap, particularly for luggage-heavy journeys or late arrivals.
