Travel Tuesdays: Megabus

Megabus is a low-cost coach service with services in the United States, North America, and Europe. In the United States specifically, it operates throughout East, South, West, and Midwest with destinations in over 100 cities. In the past, they featured specials as low as $1. YES, I said it, $1. They also operate a point-to-point service that offers curbside service rather than traditional bus stations. Their luxury single and double deckers offer free wi-fi, at-seat plug ins, panoramic windows and a budget-friendly alternative way to travel. Tickets can be purchased online or via the phone only.  

Recently, Megabus began operating in Columbia, SC and has services to Athens, GA; Atlanta, GA; Durham, NC; and Fayetteville, NC.  From the Atlanta and Durham locations, you can go further South, Northeast, or Midwest.  We have not taken advantage of the service, but it looks like an alternative way to travel in the near future.

Have you ridden on the Megabus or similar low-cost bus service provider (Chinatown Bus, Greyhound, etc) to travel to your destination?
