It's not too early to plan your student's ride home for Thanksgiving! Our office has partnered with Breakshuttle to provide seamless bus services for students heading home for Thanksgiving. Buses will travel to Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and El Paso. Departures are scheduled for Wednesday, November 25th, with returns on Sunday, November 29th.

⚠️ Please note: seats are filling up quickly for Houston and San Antonio.

Here’s why Breakshuttle stands out compared to other travel options:
✔ Convenience: Direct bus routes from campus to the destination city, eliminating multiple stops unlike Greyhound.
✔ Student-Centered: Exclusively for Texas Tech students, ensuring they won’t miss any classes (Thanksgiving Break at TTU runs from Wednesday to Sunday).
✔ Affordable: More budget-friendly compared to flying on the same dates.
