Megabus, minibucks * USA - Road to savings begins with bus company that wings it
This is not the summer of love... High gas prices and road construction have made this the summer of when push comes to shove
Milwaukee,WIS,USA -The Chicago Sun Times, by DAVE HOEKSTRA-June 29, 2008: -- This is why I am sitting in the back of a Megabus headed for Milwaukee... The 56-seat bus is half full, mostly with young people. The bus is clean and the bathrooms are basic (although the sink doesn't work). Better yet, the price is right: $16 round trip, making this express bus service one of the best ways to tool around the Midwest this summer... Megabus.com -- as it is technically called -- is a subsidiary of Coach USA, a UK-based Stagecoach Group company... Megabus is popular because you can get a one-way ticket for as little as $1.50, depending on when you buy it. The earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket. My $16 round-trip fare was booked three weeks in advance... No-frills Megabus is cheap because it keeps its expenses low... There are no Megabus stations. Riders wait on city sidewalks, rain or shine... Hey, we got used to that !!...
