Popular bus transportation company Vonlane is expanding its Dallas-based services further with the addition of a new route from Plano to Austin.

Starting Friday, February 28, Collin County travelers on the go will be able to depart from a new Vonlane terminal in Plano's Legacy West area, at the Rennaissance Dallas at Plano Legacy West Hotel at 6007 Legacy Dr. The route will drop riders in North Austin at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Austin's Arboretum area.

Departures will take place seven days a week at various times. Each one-way trip takes 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Vonlane is renowned for its non-stop routes using luxury buses equipped with 22 leather seats, ample space for working, complimentary wifi, and an on-board cabin service attendant.

According to Vonlane founder and CEO Alex Danza, this highly anticipated new service will better serve the "exploding population centers" in Collin County and north Travis County.

"With the new direct service between North Dallas and North Austin, we’re bringing first-class travel closer to where people live, work, and play—something airlines can’t do," says Danza in a release. "We’re excited to offer our suburban passengers more convenience, less hassle of driving, and ample free time to get work done or simply to relax aboard one of our coaches. You’ll never have a better experience traveling along Interstate 35."

The North Dallas route is a new addition to Vonlane's current Dallas-area service which includes routes from Dallas (Doubletree Love Field) to downtown Austin (Hyatt Regency).

Introductory fares for one-way trips booked for March and April will cost $109. Normal base fares for one-way trips starting in May will cost $125. All fares are flat rate, and include snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, with meals on select routes. (Alcohol is available for purchase.)

Fares do not include taxes, baggage fees, or change fees.

The departure schedule for Vonlane's North Dallas to North Austin route is as follows:

Monday, Thursday, Friday

Departing North Dallas – 6 am, 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm
