$1 Bus Rides to Major American Cities
.jpg)
I've spent many hours of my life in transit to San Francisco. Back when I was a student in college, I'd make the six hour drive from Los Angeles in my car. My only cost was about $15 for gas. I was quite proud of this and never thought I'd be able to make the journey for any cheaper. I am happy to now be proven wrong by a company called Megabus.
Megabus currently operates in 21 cities across America. Sure, Greyhound services a lot more places, but do they sell seats for just one buck? Nope, I don't think so.
Megabus does, however. As long as you book early enough, tickets cost just $1. And no, there aren't $50 worth of taxes added on like budget airlines tend to do; just a 50 cents per reservation fee. That means I can make the six hour trek from Los Angeles to San Francisco for an incredible $1.50. Another buck will get me to Las Vegas, and yet another will get take me all the way to San Diego.
This, folks, is a great deal!

I think this is the greatest thing I have seen in a while!! I saved so much money when I used bus/metro for transportaion. To bad I live in Houston and Houstonions are just lost without there cars.

I used them from Cincinnati to Chicago for a concert. Great service, comfy bus, well-heeled travel companions (older couples, girls day on the town, and college-age kids). There arrival schedules are a little flexible, got to Chicago a little late and the layover in Indianapolis seemed a bit long.
I slept well on the overnight bus back, just waking up at the stop in Indianapolis. Highly recommended!
