The Knight Bus...

From the Wizards Unite website:
"Have you been itching to get back into Wizarding Challenges but find yourself without a means of magical conveyance to faraway Fortresses? Then look no further, as a timely new way to bring the magic closer to you is here. Introducing the Knight Bus!
Rather than extending your wand hand and waiting at the curb, simply tap on the new Knight Bus button from the Map view. Hang on tight, as the Knight Bus will instantly whisk you away to a Fortress at Hogwarts Castle where you can use Runestones to take on a variety of Foes, just like in a standard Fortress.
The Knight Bus will be available to players level 7 and above and will begin rolling out soon, so keep an eye out for the latest game update. For those ambitious players already thinking about their future Fortress forays, fear not, as the Knight Bus is here to stay. [!! 😃]
Just like the iconic Knight Bus itself, we hope this new feature will come to the aid of players and help them get back into one of their favourite aspects of the game from the safety of their homes."
ETA: From Wizards Unite Hub, where they've now been allowed to reveal a little more:
"Can we do remote Wizarding Challenges with friends?
At the moment, there is not a mechanism within the Knight Bus feature to coordinate Wizarding Challenges with friends. If you and a roommate both take the Knight Bus in your game, and you choose the same Chamber, there’s a small possibility that you’ll end up in a Wizarding Challenge, but no guarantee. You’ll be placed randomly with other players around the world entering that Chamber at the same time.
There is also not a way to use friend codes to coordinate remote Wizarding Challenges.
However, it is possible that the HPWU developers will update the Knight Bus feature so that you and your friends can access remote Fortresses together."
[Emphasis mine.]
