Megabus Introduces Interlining Across North America

ELIZABETH, NJ (January 10, 2024) Megabus, one of the largest bus companies in North America has teamed up with Transcor Data Services (TDS), a leader in providing innovative transportation technology and software throughout the US and Canada to create an integrated interlining process for the bus industry.

The technology integration will now allow Megabus, Coach USA and Megabus partners to connect a wide array of routes across North America. This will allow customers direct access to travel seamlessly across multiple networks to get to their final destination with a single point of purchase.

“Introducing interlining across the Megabus network and our partner networks is a groundbreaking opportunity that will allow us to offer many more convenient travel options for our customers,” said Colin Emberson, VP Commercial for Megabus. “We’re excited to be able to roll this out to many of our partners this year.”

“Working with TDS is offering tremendous growth potential for us and our partners,” said Colin Emberson, VP Commercial for Megabus. “This new technology not only allows us to sell more tickets but opens up the potential for greater advances in the near future.”

“As we celebrate this milestone, we recognize that our journey is far from complete," said Terry Cordell, CEO of TDS. "Megabus and TDS remain committed to exploring new frontiers and pushing the boundaries of innovation in the transportation industry."
