The Megabus stop in Rosendale

Rosendale Park-and-Ride. This is the primary Megabus boarding location in Rosendale. UCAT local buses link Rosendale to New Paltz and Kingston for onward connections.

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.

What makes Rosendale a Megabus hub

Rosendale ranks among the top 24 Megabus cities in North America by route count. The hub has Megabus connections to 30 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 Rosendale rather than waiting for a direct overnight bus. Most onward connections at the Rosendale Park-and-Ride 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 Rosendale on multi-leg trips, several multi-modal trip-planning tools can flag tighter connections and suggest alternative carriers if a Megabus segment runs late.
