Take the Bus this Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching and many GW students will soon be heading home for the holiday. GW has several bus options to make travel a little bit easier.

For those students using Dulles International or Baltimore-Washington airports for their travel plans, the Student Association is providing its Colonial Coach bus service the Tuesday and Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The ticket price is $5, making Colonial Coach the cheapest and most convenient way to get holiday travel plans underway! The bus will depart from Kogan Plaza to both Dulles and BWI at noon and 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 21st and at 7:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 22nd. Reservations can be made through the SA office or at www.gwstudentassociation.com.

For those students heading home to Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York, the GW Spirit programs will be running their own holiday buses. Buses will depart from the Charles E. Smith Center at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 21st and travel to Wynnewood, PA for 65$ roundtrip, Metro Park, NJ for $95 roundtrip and the Port Authority bus terminal in New York City for $150 roundtrip. One-way options are available. Return trip departure times vary, but all are expected to arrive in Washington between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 25th.
