The Omaha Bus Station is an intercity bus station in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The station, managed by Burlington Trailways, also serves Express Arrow and Jefferson Lines. The current building was constructed in 1948.[1]

Omaha has seen intercity bus transit since about 1917, with early 16 seat buses traveling to Fremont and Blair.[2] In 1929, a Union Bus Depot was constructed on the southwest corner of 16th and Jackson.[2] In 1948, both Greyhound Lines and Trailways constructed new bus stations in the city.[1] This setup lasted until Greyhound took over Trailways in 1987, and consequently moved into the former Trailways station.[3] Today, the former Trailways station is the only intercity bus station in the city.
