The Megabus stop in Tillson

Tillson Park-and-Ride on Route 32. This is the primary Megabus boarding location in Tillson. UCAT and Trailways connecting service link Tillson to the wider Hudson Valley.

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 Tillson a Megabus hub

Tillson ranks among the top 24 Megabus cities in North America by route count. The hub has Megabus connections to 33 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 Tillson rather than waiting for a direct overnight bus. Most onward connections at the Tillson Park-and-Ride on Route 32 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 Tillson on multi-leg trips, several multi-modal trip-planning tools can flag tighter connections and suggest alternative carriers if a Megabus segment runs late.
