Megabus is moving its Burlington stop back to a location the company describes as being “adjacent” to Royall Tyler Theater on the University of Vermont campus. UVM had kicked the popular discount carrier off campus in early November following a series of drug busts involving Megabus passengers traveling to Vermont from New York City.

The new stop, which becomes operational tomorrow (December 3), is actually on University Place and “not within UVM’s control,” says university spokesman Enrique Corredera.

“We remain concerned about continuing criminal behavior and safety issues related to Megabus, and will work closely with law enforcement agencies to address risks to the safety of our community,” Corredera adds.

  1. Have been on 50+ megabus rides in the past 2 years, never seen anything even resembling a “safety issue.”
    Just herds of college kids staring intently at their phones. Kinda soothing.
