With an estimated 500,000 protesters flocking to the nation’s capital, Washington is about to get crowded! As we learnt from last year’s Women’s March, getting protesters to D.C. by bus can get complicated.
Whether you’re travelling to the official march in D.C., or to one of the many sister marches sprouting up all over the country, here are some tips on how to get there by bus solo, or with a group of fellow protesters.
Shuttle Tickets to Washington D.C.
The bus rideshare model is a great way to travel to the march if you are going solo. You’ll meet other participants along the way, and benefit from our award-winning customer service through our in-app chatrooms. It’s the best way to feel safe, and interact with like-minded travellers!
We have already set up the following bus routes from 9 different cities, and have pledged to donate all the profits from the ticket sales to the victims of the Parkland attack and their families, via the National Compassion Fund.

Bus Rentals for March for Our Lives
Sponsoring a bus rental for your community is a great way to get to D.C. or any other sister marches around the country, as a group. If you’re thinking of chartering a bus, here a few things you need to consider:
Bus Rental Price Surges
Securing a bus early is key, particularly during a busy weekend. During the Women’s March, the price for charter buses experienced a 60% price surge. Find out how much a bus rental would cost you by requesting a bus quote here.
Splitting the Bill with your Group
Coach buses can seat up to 55 people, which is a lot of people to run after! During our easy online booking process, you’ll be able to split the bill with your group. If you’re traveling a shorter distance, we suggest requesting a school bus, which is a more budget-friendly option.
Challenging Bus Parking Situation
With the large amount of people expected in D.C., bus parking lots will get booked fast. Our experts can help you plan alternative parking situations, and make sure that you don’t have to deal with the logistical gymnastics involved with booking group transportation!
Bus Rental Cancelation Policies
Bus.com offers a cancelation policy that is more flexible than most bus rental companies. We offer 100% refund on 10 day before departure cancellations for coach buses, and 3 days before departure for school buses. Other bus rental companies usually refuse to issue refunds after 15 days.
Requesting a quote and securing a bus rental is easy with our simple online booking process. Just fill out a quote request here, and one of our experts will be in touch to help you set up bus transportation to March for Our Lives in D.C., Colorado, or any other sister around the U.S.
