Four daily round trips will be available on the Atlanta to Houston route, Cleveland to Buffalo will offer three daily roundtrips and one round trip will be available between Dallas and Oklahoma City.

"Greyhound has been able to rapidly grow its Express service since its inception due to our customers' positive response to the higher level of service that nobody else can match in the business. With an average growth rate of more than 20 percent in the markets where we've introduced Express, it speaks volumes to how we have successfully upgraded the intercity bus travel experience," said Dave Leach, president and CEO, Greyhound.

Greyhound Express operates modern, environmentally friendly buses equipped with features such as free Wi-Fi, power outlets, leather seats, reserved seating and extra legroom.

Additionally, Express customers can relax in private waiting areas, protected from the elements in a secure environment, with a dedicated guest services specialist to provide an extra level of customer assistance. All tickets are nonrefundable.
