In anticipation of the launch of bus trip booking site Wanderu in the city, the Cleveland Scene spoke to its Co-Founder and CEO Polina Raygorodskaya, who discussed how her dislike of the flying experience drove her to creating the website.
Greyhound and Greyhound Express travel options will now appear in bus scheduling website wanderu.com’s search results. Wanderu’s 25 transportation partners cover more than 80% of the east and west coasts of the U.S., according to the company.
Wanderu's founders plan to spend the money to establish coverage nationwide, scale its data systems and release new features.
Wanderu aggregates bus schedules from multiple intercity bus operators, including Peter Pan, to help customers find and book intercity travel.
