Transport from Santiago to Villafranca del Bierzo

Camino Frances 2018
Hello all! My husband arrives in 2 days from Switzerland to meet me for the last 200km. He arrives on the 26th in Santiago around 10am. He’s looked and it seems that the only option to get to Villafranca is by bus at 3:00pm to get to Villafranca at 6:30pm. Does anyone know of a faster method? I was thinking a taxi but that would be expensive no? Any advice appreciated. I’m so excited to see him!!
