→Bus: Smart way bus to Lynchburg will start July 19
Blacksburg Transit mostly serves the town of Blacksburg. The Two Town Trolley will get you to the Christiansburg WalMart and from there you can get the Shopper Express to other destinations in Christiansburg.
The Smart Way bus connects Blacksburg With Roanoke. It serves in Blacksburg Alumni Mall and the Post office, in Christiansburg Kmart Shopping Center and I81 Park and Ride, the Roanoke Park and Ride, Roanoke Regional Airport, Hotel Roanoke and Campbell Court in Downtown Roanoke. The last bus is around 9 so those coming from across the Atlantic to Roanoke airport often have to find different transportation to Blacksburg. It costs $4 each way and from July 19 2011 it will be paired with another Smart Way bus from Roanoke to Charlottesville.
Megabus begun offering in November 2010 service from Christiansburg to Washington DC and Knoxville Tennessee. It stops at Christiansburg Park and Ride. Prices vary depending on when you book.
Home Ride offers buses on Fridays connecting Blacksburg with Vienna VA (terminus of the Washington DC metro Orange Line) and Richmond and return trips on Sundays. This service is only offered in the Fall and Spring semesters.
From time to time, especially around Spring and Fall breaks and graduation/orientation parents and students pool resources to charter buses to various destinations like Philadelphia.
