The Megabus stop in Ashland
Ashland Bus Stop at the Tri-State Airport. This is the primary Megabus boarding location in Ashland. TARTA shuttle service connects the airport stop to downtown Ashland.
Plan to arrive at the curbside boarding location 15 to 20 minutes before scheduled departure. Megabus boards in line order at most stops; first in line gets first pick of unassigned seats. Reserved-seating tickets allow you to board at any time during the boarding window but do not change the queue rules at the curb.

The hub is particularly useful as a transfer point — many travelers booking longer trips combine two Megabus segments through Ashland rather than waiting for a direct overnight bus.
