If you’re tired of overpriced flights and unreliable rideshares, get ready for a new travel option. GOGO Charters is rolling into Columbus with a new Midwest Charter Network, offering daily luxury bus service between major cities, including Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Cleveland.
The Details: Where You Can Go
Launching by summer 2025, GOGO Charters will connect Columbus with multiple Midwest destinations, making regional travel easier (and way comfier). Here’s where you can hitch a ride:
- Columbus <> Indianapolis (via Dayton)
- Columbus <> Cleveland (via Akron)
- Cleveland <> Detroit (via Toledo)
Buses will depart daily from Westin Downtown Columbus (310 S High St), meaning you won’t have to trek out to some obscure parking lot just to catch a ride.
The Price: Budget-Friendly Without the Budget Vibes
Fares start at just $10 (yes, really), though prices will vary based on distance and availability. So, whether you’re heading to Cleveland for a weekend, catching a concert in Detroit, or making a business trip to Indy, you can do it without blowing your travel budget.
The Perks: Comfort & Convenience
GOGO Charters isn’t your average Greyhound experience. Expect reclining seats, free Wi-Fi, onboard restrooms, and a mobile app that makes booking easy, complete with real-time tracking. No guessing when your ride will show up—it’s all in the app.
The Future: More Routes Coming
GOGO Charters plans to expand throughout 2025, adding new routes and connecting even more Midwest cities. With a focus on affordability, sustainability, and a touch of luxury, they’re redefining regional travel in the best way.
The new routes are expected to launch this summer. In the meantime, check out GOGOCharters.com for schedules, pricing, and updates. You can see all of the routes available below.
