Megabus ended service to Lexington earlier this year, said Sean Hughes, director of corporate affairs for Megabus North America.

“Customer demand has been declining, which Megabus.com continued to monitor with the hopes it would turn around, but sadly it did not,” Hughes said.

The budget intercity bus service, which offered fares starting at $1 on the Internet, began service to Lexington in June, 2013. The company offered travel from Lexington to Atlanta; Buffalo, N.Y.; Chattanooga; Cincinnati; Columbus, Ohio; Erie, Pa.; and Knoxville.

Megabus has operations in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe.
