"Cheap" Service * USA - Bus line appeals to shoestring travelers with new routes
Pittsburgh,USA - Associated Press/The North County Times (Escondido,CA), by DANIEL LOVERING -1 April 2007: -- For Internet-savvy travelers on a budget, Megabus.com claims to offer a service that makes mainstream bus travel seem pricey: rides from Pittsburgh to Chicago for as little as $1... "We're really trying to get people out of their car," said Dale Moser, president and chief operating officer of Coach USA, the domestic subsidiary of Scotland-based Stagecoach Group PLC, which runs Megabus. "We think that's the real big advantage"... Megabus uses online ticketing and sidewalk stops instead of ticket counters and bus terminals... Passengers do not buy tickets, but instead give drivers reservation numbers they receive when booking online...
