Intercity buses and trains seat riders in rows of two, side by side. **How departures are counted.** Bus booking sites list one bus several times, once for each stop it calls at in the same city. Here each bus or train counts once, and one company's departures leaving within 30 minutes of each other count once, Hitch included. Companies are never added together: where several run a route, the figure is the busiest one's. A bus or train that a later one beats to the destination is not counted, since no rider would choose it. Bus and train: typical scheduled time, week of Nov 16, 2026, from the published Amtrak, Brightline, FlixBus and Greyhound timetables; direct where one runs, otherwise with one change. Bus fare: the cheapest FlixBus or Greyhound seat on a few sample dates, median, fees included, checked Nov 1, 2026. Train fares change by date. Door to door: the rideshare to and from the stop at $1.50 a mile and 30 mph; Hitch's time is the drive, as for Uber and driving, since a Hitch driver can pick up at the door; without addresses, the distance is the population-weighted average over every Census 2020 block group within 15 miles, straight line times 1.3. Traditional rideshare (Uber, Lyft): time is the drive time; cost is the distance at $1.50 a mile, the average US UberX rate (RideWise, March 2026), before demand pricing and fees. Gas: EIA average regular price for Texas ($3.63/gal), week of Oct 26, 2026. Hitch fares are updated about once a day. ## Cities with service to Waco - [Arlington](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/arlington-to-waco.md) - [Austin](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/austin-to-waco.md) - [College Station](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/college-station-to-waco.md) - [Dallas](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/dallas-to-waco.md) - [Fort Worth](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/fort-worth-to-waco.md) - [Fredericksburg](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/fredericksburg-to-waco.md) - [Houston](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/houston-to-waco.md) - [San Antonio](https://www.hitch.com/lanes/san-antonio-to-waco.md) ## More routes and destinations - [Arlington](https://www.hitch.com/cities/arlington-tx.md) - [Austin-Bergstrom International Airport](https://www.hitch.com/airports/austin-bergstrom-international-airport.md) - [Austin](https://www.hitch.com/cities/austin-tx.md) - [Baylor University](https://www.hitch.com/schools/baylor-university.md) - [Beaumont](https://www.hitch.com/cities/beaumont-tx.md) - [College Station](https://www.hitch.com/cities/college-station-tx.md) - [Corpus Christi](https://www.hitch.com/cities/corpus-christi-tx.md) - [Dallas-Ft.
