What makes Herkimer a Megabus hub

Herkimer ranks among the top 24 Megabus cities in North America by route count. The hub has Megabus connections to 26 direct destinations, with the most-frequent corridors running multiple daily departures.

The hub is particularly useful as a transfer point — many travelers booking longer trips combine two Megabus segments through Herkimer rather than waiting for a direct overnight bus. Most onward connections at the Herkimer Amtrak Station have at least 30 minutes between scheduled arrival and the next outbound departure, which is enough time to switch coaches but not enough to leave the boarding area.

For travelers connecting through Herkimer on multi-leg trips, several multi-modal trip-planning tools can flag tighter connections and suggest alternative carriers if a Megabus segment runs late.
