Find buses to Green Bay

The main companies that provide bus service to Green Bay are Greyhound, Jefferson Lines, Indian Trails, and Lamers. Generally speaking, all the buses provide the same scope of amenities. This includes free Wi-Fi, nearby power outlets to charge your devices, and climate control (both AC and heat). Passengers sit in comfortable leather seats that recline and have a footrest. The seats are two to each side, ensuring that all passengers either get a window seat or an aisle seat. Each bus is equipped with an onboard restroom that’s typically in the back. That being said, most long-distance buses allow for multiple bathroom and stretching breaks. For passengers with mobility issues, there are accessible seats up front that are wide enough for most wheelchairs. If you need assistance boarding or getting off the bus, there is a wheelchair lift to allow easier access. Other reasonable requests can also be provided by bus staff.

The main Green Bay bus station is known as the Green Bay Metro Transportation Center. If you’re staying at a hotel in downtown Green Bay, the bus station is located in the downtown district as well, so there’s a good chance that it’s within walking distance. However, if you’re a bit further away, most of the local Metro buses stop by the Green Bay Transportation Center during their fixed routes. Although we recommend consulting with a bus map for more specific directions, in general, bus #7 goes to the northeast, bus #6 to the west, bus #11 to the south, and bus #2 to the north. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also available to bring you to the station. If you’re driving north along I-43, it will lead into the city, as will WI-57 if you’re driving south. If you’re driving along I-41, take WI-172N and you’ll pass by the bus station.

Traveling by bus from Green Bay has some important benefits over traveling by car or plane. In terms of price, bus tickets are generally more budget-friendly than plane tickets or driving costs. Alongside cheap bus tickets, being a bus passenger is more relaxing than being a car driver as you can recline and dig into some on-board entertainment options, such as reading, watching videos, or just letting your mind wander a bit. Although it’s possible to admire scenery in a car, it’s far easier and safer to do so by looking out the windows of a bus. When compared to plane travel, bus travel reduces the risk of losing luggage because you can double-check that staff place it beneath the bus. On top of that, bus stations are usually located in downtown areas, whereas airports are usually further away because they require more open space.
